Quiz two Flashcards
Tissue
cells of the same type working together to perform the same function
Organ
two or more tissue types working together to perform a certain function
System
multiple organs working together to perform related functions
Every system is responsible for different functions in the body
Epithelial
anything that is a lining or a surface (skin)
simple
one layer of skin cells, very permeable
Stratified
multiple layers of cells, very durable
Squamous
flat/squished shaped
Simple Squamous
allows gas/nutrient exchange, Lining of lungs blood vessels
Stratified squamous
thick layers that protect against wear and tear (mouth and skin)
Cuboidal
Cubed/square shaped. Absorb nutrients and secrete waste, line tubules of kidneys
Columnar
Rectangular shaped. Thickest epithelium. Nutrients in and waste out, lining of intestines
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
Rectangular with cilia on surface, simple, but varied heights give an illusion of many layers. produce/secrete mucus out of the body. The lining of the lungs.
Glands
collection of epithelial tissue that produces hormones (hypothalamus, sweat glands etc)
Connective
joints two or more tissues together, provides structure and support
Cells do not touch directly, instead connected by fibrous matrix (nonliving organic material)
Loose Fibrous
loose, tangled fibers. Connects epithelium to organ structures. Elastic to allow stretching and to return to normal. Under skin, in organ lining.
Adipose
fat cells, hollow cells that store lipids. Under skin, around organs. Provides cushioning and insulation.
Dense Fibrous:
fibers woven tightly together. Provides strong support at joints.
Tendons
Connects muscle to bone
Ligaments
Connects bone to bone
Cartilage
flexible support/structure
Hyaline Cartilage:
cells sitting in a clear matrix, strong and flexible but not as strong as bone. Ears, nose, ribs, embryonic skeleton
Bone
Hard, strong support. Living cells sitting in a matrix with blood vessels flowing through
Blood
cells flowing through the liquid matrix (plasma)
Transports nutrients and waste throughout the body.
Red blood cells
hollow, carry oxygen, give blood and many tissues their color.
