tissue- lecture ass. Flashcards
the microscopic study of tissue appearance, organization, and function.
histology
What are the four types of tissues found in the adult?
Nervous tissue
Muscle tissue
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Which embryonic germ layer gives rise to the epidermis (skin)?
Ectoderm
a type of connective tissue membrane that lines the cavity of a
freely movable joint.
Synovial membrane
The skin is an epithelial membrane also called the
Cutaneous membrane
an intercellular passageway between the membranes of adjacent cells
to facilitate the movement of small molecules and ions between adjacent cells.
a gap junction
More than one layer of epithelial cells is described a
stratified epithelium
A cell that is flattened and thin is called a
squamous cell.
what term describes tissue with a single layer of irregularly shaped cells
that give the appearance of more than one layer
pseudostratified
the most common type of stratified epithelium in the
human body
Stratified squamous epithelium
what is a ductless gland that releases secretions directly into surrounding
tissues and fluids
endocrine gland
what cells store surplus energy in the form of fat and contribute to the thermal insulation of the body.
adipose cells
what fiber is made from fibrous protein subunits linked together to form a long and
straight fiber.
Collagen fiber
these fibers are parallel to each other, enhancing tensile
strength.
dense regular connective tissue
what is the most common type of cartilage in the body.
Hyaline Cartlidge
