Tissue Flashcards
group of cells with similar structure
and function, plus the extracellular substance
surrounding them.
tissue
covering or lining tissue
epithelial
diverse primary tissue type
that makes up part of every organ in the body
connective
tissue that contracts or shortens,
making movement possible
muscle
responsible for coordinating and
controlling many body activities
nervous
classification of epithelia: cell layers
simple, stratified, pseudostratified
classification of epithilia: cell shape
squamous, cuboidal, columnar or transitional
what kind of epithelium are lungs, kidneys and linings of serous membrane belongs?
simple squamous epithelium
small intestine, uterus, stomach, and gallbladder consists of what layer and shape?
simple columnar epithelium
kidney tubules, glands and ducts, branchioles are in what type of epithelium?
simple cuboidal epithelium
trachea, bronchus, and nasal cavity is consisted of what epithelium
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
mouth, throat, larynx, anus, vagina, esophagus and cornea are examples of organs which have ________________ epithelium
nonkeratized stratified squamous epithelium
bind cells together
desmosomes
form bone
osteoblasts
maintain bone
osteocytes
break bone
osteoclasts
cells that form fibrous connective tissue
fibroblasts
form cartilage and chondrocytes maintain it.
chondroblasts
large cells that are capable of
moving about and ingesting foreign substances
macrophages
nonmotile cells that release
chemicals, such as histamine, that promote
inflammation
mast cells
resemble microscopic
ropes, are very flexible but resist stretching
collagen fibers
very fine, short collagen fibers
that branch to form a supporting network
reticular fibers
have the ability to return to their
original shape after being stretched or
compressed, giving tissue an elastic quality
elastic fibers
The most common cells in loose connective
tissue are the
fibroblasts
