study guide terms Tissue, glands and membranes Flashcards
Voluntary
Example of thigh muscle
bone
tissue that form when cartilage gradually becomes impregnated with calcium salts
myocardium
the thick, muscular layer of the heart wall
connective tissue
a type of tissue found in membrane and glands, large blood vessels, lungs and skin, has matrix. Binds separates, supports
smooth muscles
also known as visceral muscles, found on walls of hallow organs such as pancreas, intestine, stomach, liver
neuron
a cell that carries nerve impulses
connective tissue
a tissue in which cells are separated by large amounts of acellular material called matrix
tissue
a group of cells similar in structure and function
squamous
term that describes flat, irregular epithelial cells
stratified
a term that means “in layers”
columnar
term that describes long and narrow epithelial cells
simple
cells arranged in a single layer
endocrine
gland that secretes into the blood
exocrine
gland that secretes through ducts
exocrine
gland that secretes onto the body surface
tendon
a cord of connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone
capsule
a tough membranous connective tissue that encloses an organ
fibrocartilage
the cartilage found between the bones of the spine
collagen
a fiber found in most connective tissues
chondrocyte
a cell that synthesizes cartilage
hyalin cartilage
a strong, gristly cartilage that reinforces the trachea
serous membrane
an epithelial membrane that lines a body cavity or covers an internal organ
cutaneous membrane
the epithelia membrane also know as the skin
mucous membrane
a membrane that line a space open to the outside of the body
visceral layer
the portion of a serous membrane attached to an organ
parietal layer
the portion of a serous membrane attached to the body wall
mesothelium
the epithelial portion of serous membranes
serous pericardium
the serous membrane covering the heart
superficial fascia
the sheet of tissue that underlies the skin
synovial membrane
the connective tissue membrane that lines joint cavities
deep fascia
a tough membrane composed entirely of connective tissue that serves to anchor and support an organ or to cover a muscle
periosteum
a layer of fibrous connective tissue around a bone
perichondrium
the membrane that covers cartilage
pleura
the serous membrane covering a lung
peritoneum
the serous membrane covering the abdominal organs
benign
tumor that does not spread
malignant
tumor that spreads to other tissues
angioma
tumor composed of blood or lymphatic vessels
osteoma
benign connective tissue tumor that originates in a bone
adenoma
benign epithelial tumor that originates in a gland
sarcoma
a malignant tumor originating in connective tissues
chondroma
tumor that originates in cartilages
nevus
a small skin tumor that may become malignant
papilloma
a wart is an example of this type of benign tumor
lymphoma
a malignant neoplasm of lymphatic tissue
leukemia
a cancer of white blood cells
osteoblasts
cells that form bone
hyaline cartilage
cartilage found at the ends of long bones
synovial membrane
the connective tissue membrane lining joint cavities
peritoneum
the epithelial membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity
simple squamous epithelial
a single layer of flat, irregular epithelial cells
staging
the extent of tumor spread is determined by this process.
cilia
sweep mucous trapped particles, create current
microvilli
increase surface area of cell for absorption
goblet cells
produce mucous
karatin
tough protein
ciliated simple columnar epithelia with goblet cells
line respiratory tract such as nose and bronchi
traps airborne particles and sweeps them out
simple columnar with microvilli and goblet cells
lines small intestine, secretes mucous
microvilli increase surface area for absorption
myelin
the fatty insulation that speeds up the conduction of electrical signals found around axons MS…loss of myelin around axons
