plw tissue types Flashcards
forms membranes that cover organs
epithelium
allows movement of the limbs and organ movements within the body
muscle
cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances
epithelium
the function is to coordinate the body’s activities
nervous
surrounds and cushions body organs
Connective
uses electrochemical signals to carry out its function
nervous
widely distributed found in bones, cartilage, and fat deposits
connective
forms the brain and spinal cord
nervous
can be simple or stratified
epithelium
can be smooth or striated
muscle
what is a tissue
a collection of cells
The inside of the intestines are lined with-
simple columnar epithelium
The urinary system is lined with
transitional epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium performs what function
allow for rapid diffusion of gases, nutrients, and waste products across a membrane
microvilli
tiny, finger-like projections on the surface of certain cells, primarily found lining the small intestine, that significantly increase the cell’s surface area, allowing for greater absorption of nutrients and other substances
Structures on the surface of some epithelial to sweep debris
cilia
The cells of stratified squamous epithelium are continually
being replaced
Which of the following is NOT connective tissues:
saliva
whats adipose
Tissue that is used to store energy and to insulate the body
Which muscle tissue moves bones?
striated
Which muscle tissue is found in the gut wall?
smooth
Which muscle tissue is found in the heart?
cardiac
Type of cartilage that pads the ends of bones
hyaline
Type of cartilage found between vertebrae
fibrocartilage
whats connective tissue
Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body
whats nervous tissue
responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities
whats epithelium tissue
the cells that line the internal and external surfaces of the body.
whats muscle tissue
movement, posture, joint stability, and heat production.
Areolar, Adipose, & Reticular are all types of…
loose connective tissue
Striations can be seen in which type of muscle tissues?
skeletal and cardiac
What type of connective tissue are tendons and ligaments?
Dense Connective
In which tissue type do we find “intercalated discs?”
Cardiac muscle
What is the most abundant type of tissue in the human body?
Connective
