17
Q

Location: Around kidneys, under the skin, in bones, within abdomen, and in breasts.

A

Adipose Tissue Cells

18
Q

Function: Provides reserve fuel (lipids), insulates against heat loss, and supports and protects organs.

A

Adipose Tissue Cell

19
Q

Consists numerous fibroblasts that produces collagenous and elastic fibers.

A

Loose Connective
Tissues

20
Q

Location: Widely distributed under the epithelia of the human body.

A

Loose Connective
Tissues

21
Q

Function: Wraps and cushions organs.

A

Loose Connective
Tissues

22
Q

Consists largely of tightly packed collagenous fibers.

A

Fibrous Connective Tissue

23
Q

Location: Dermis of the skin, sub - mucosa of the digestive tract, and fibrous capsules of organs and joints.

A

Fibrous Connective Tissues

24
Q

Function: Provides structural strength.

A

Fibrous Connective Tissues

25
Q

Bone matrix is deposited in concentric layers around osteonic canals.

A

Bone (Osseus) Tissue

26
Q

Location: Bones

A

Bone (Osseus) Tissue

27
Q

Function: Supports, protects, provides lever system for muscles to act on, stores calcium and fat, and forms blood cells.

A

Bone (Osseus) Tissue

28
Q

Is a type of connective tissue. It consists of red blood cells-transport O2, white blood cells- fights infection and platelets suspended in an intercellular fluid (plasma), prevents clotting of blood.

29
Q

Location: Within blood vessels.

30
Q

Function: Transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, hormones, minerals, vitamins and other substances.

31
Q

Neurons in nervous tissue transmit electrical signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

A

Nervous Tissue

32
Q

Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

A

Nervous Tissue

33
Q

Function: Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to the spinal cord or brain, and from the spinal cord or brains to effectors (muscles and glands).

A

Nervous Tissue

34
Q

Is composed of striated muscle fibers (cells) that are long and cylindrical and contain many peripheral nuclei.

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

35
Q

Location: In skeletal muscles attached to bones.

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

36
Q

Function: Voluntary movement, locomotion.

A

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

37
Q
  • Is formed of spindle - shaped cells, each containing a single centrally located nucleus. Cells are arranged closely. Smooth muscle tissue is not striated.
A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

38
Q

Location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs.

A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

39
Q

Function: Moves substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control.

A

Smooth Muscle Tissue

40
Q
  • Consists of branched striated cells, each containing a single nucleus and specialized cell junctions called intercalated disks that allow ions (action potentials) to move quickly from cell to cell.
A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

41
Q

Location: The walls of the heart.

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

42
Q

Functions: As the wall of the heart contract, cardiac muscle tissue propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control.

A

Cardiac Muscle Tissue
