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
consists of adipocytes, or fat
cells, which contain large amounts of lipid for
energy storage
adipose tissue
forms the framework of
lymphatic tissue, such as in the spleen and
lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow and the liver
reticular tissue
Examples of dense regular are
tendons and
ligaments
Examples of dense irregular are in the
dermis of
the skin and in organ capsules.
Examples include the dense elastic connective
tissue in the
vocal cords
genetic condition called ________________
results from, in part the inability to properly
maintain and form elastic fibers.
Marfan syndrome
composed of chondrocytes, located
in spaces called lacunae within an extensive
matrix.
cartilage
_____________ in the matrix gives cartilage flexibility
and strength.
collagen
the most abundant type of
cartilage and has many functions, such as covering
the ends of bones, where they form joints
hyaline cartilage
- has more collagen than does hyaline
cartilage and is able to withstand compression and resist tearing or pulling. - found in the intervertebral disks
fibrocartilage
contains elastic fibers in addition
to collagen and proteoglycans.
elastic cartilage
external ear, epiglottis, and auditory tube contain ____________ cartilage
elastic
type of bone that has spaces between trabeculae or plates, of bone and therefore resembles a sponge.
spongy bone
type of bone that has more solid, with almost no space between many thin layers of mineralized matrix.
compact bone
a liquid connective tissue. It contains a liquid matrix, termed the plasma, along with formed elements
blood
contract, or shorten, making movement
possible.
muscle tissue
___________ muscle attaches to the skeleton and
enables the body to move. striated, or banded
skeletal
__________muscle is the muscle of the heart; it is
responsible for pumping blood.
- striated and usually have one nucleus per cell.
- They are often branched and connected to one another by intercalated disks
cardiac
____________ muscle forms the walls of hollow
organs; it is also found in the skin and the eyes.
- tapered at each end, have a single nucleus, and are not striated.
smooth
________ membranes line cavities that open to
the outside of the body, such as the digestive,
respiratory, and reproductive tracts
mucous
___________ membranes line cavities that do not open to the exterior of the body, such as the pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities
serous
____________ membranes line the cavities of freely movable joints.
synovial
