Tissue types Flashcards
epithelial
cover or line internal and external body surfaces
squamous
flattened cells
cubodial
cube-shaped cells commonly seen exocrine glands
simple
one layer of cells that function, secretion, absorption
stratified
multiple layers of cells function is primarily protection
connective
specialized cells in a noncellular matrix of fibers and ground substance
lacunae
mineralized or gelatinous matrices these specialized cells will reside in small “pockets”
Hyaline cartilage
has an abundant, flexible, rubber-like matrix that provides flexible structure, shock absorption, low friction movement in our joints and serve as a template for the production of compact bone
chondrocytes
maintain extracellular matrix
bone
living dynamic connective tissue
haversian canal
located at the center of each osteon, that stores blood vessels and nerves
osteocytes
maintain the matrix by sitting in a lacuna that is connected by small channels to other lacunae
adipose tissue
form of connective tissue composed of specialized cells that deal with lipid droplets and is commonly referred to as fat
adipocytes
harbor a single large lipid droplet
muscle tissue
specialized for cellular contractility
muscle tissue
specialized for cellular contractility
striations
bundles of contractile proteins fill the cells, run in one direction, and are so intricately organized that they produce a visible pattern of light and dark bands
integumentary system
multiple tissue types present in hair shaft side
three types of muscle
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
