Tissue types Flashcards
This is one of the four categories of tissue that is classified as protective and lines cavities and body tubes and is associated with the basement membrane
Epithelial tissue
This type of epithelial tissue has a single layer plus the basement layer and has 4 subtypes
Simple Epithelial
This type of epithelial tissue has 2 or more layers plus the basement layer. Lines the skin, mouth, pharynx, and esophagus
Stratified Epithelial
This type of Epithelial tissue is considered transitional. It has several layers of cells all connected to the basement membrane and is in the lining of the bladder
Pseudo-stratified Epithelial
This type of tissue has three subtypes that consist of long thin fibers. This tissue is contractile tissue.
Muscle Tissue
This type of muscle tissue is skeletal, voluntary, and somatic. It’s membrane is not connected. It gives fast and powerful responses to the environment and is striped in appearance. It allows rapid limb movement in fight or flight situations
Striated muscle tissue
This type of muscle tissue is involuntary and autonomic. It is membrane connected and self-powerful. It’s appearance is flat or sheet-like and it moves slowly. Can be found in blood vessels or digestive tract and is complex in functioning
Smooth Muscle Tissue
This type of muscle tissue is involuntary and autonomic. It is membrane connected and looks somewhat striated. It has similar functional properties to smooth muscle tissue and initiates its own contractilns
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
This type of tissue is found in two major systems of the body and signals electrochemically through ion channels and nuerotransmitters
Nervous tissue
In the CNS the cell bodies are known as
NUCLEI
In the CNS the axons are known as
TRACTS
In the PNS the cell bodies are known as
GANGLIA
In the PNS the axons are known as
NERVES
Neurons that consist of gray matter are known as
CELL BODIES
Neurons that consist of white matter are known as
Myelinated axons
This type of connective tissue is described as fat globules found between muscles and organs
Adipose Tissue
This type of connective tissue provides support between muscles and organs and is found in the outer dermis layer of skin
Elastic Areolar Connective Tissue
This type of white fibrous connective tissue surrounds muscle
Epimysium-Fascia
This type of white fibrous connective tissue surrounds bones
Periosteum-bones
This type of white fibrous connective tissue binds bone to bone and organs to organs. But cannot connect muscle to bones
Ligaments
This type of white fibrous connective tissue forms sheet-like membranes that surrounds organs and is dense, thick, filmy, and thin
Fascia
This tissue supports uterus, bladder, liver, diaphragm, and is composed of collagen fibers
Ligaments (white fibrous)
This type of connective tissue is found in nonarticular cartilage that grows throughout life. It is opaque and flexible
Yellow Elastic Cartilage
This kind of connective tissue is found in the ears and nose, tissue that recoils elastically, outer ear pinna and canal, epiglottis, pharyngotymlanic, and laryngeal cartilages
Yellow Elastic Cartilage
This type of connective tissue is found in tonsils, adenoids, and the lymphatic system
Lymphoid
This type of tissue is supportive for organs and other tissue
Connective Tissue
This articular connective tissue is found in the surface of bones, part of the costal cartilage of the ribs where the ribs articulate with the sternum and is part of the bronchial airways of the trachea
Hyaline Cartilage
This type of connective tissue is dense, INVERTEBRAL, and found in the pubic symphysis, parts of boney attachments of tendons, and knee joints. It is articular.
Fibro Cartilage
This type of connective tissue is the softest and least dense
Blood
This type of blood tissue is red and makes up 40-45% of the blood cell population
ERYTHOROCYTES
This type of blood cell is white and makes up 1% of the blood cell population
LEUKOCYTE
This type of WBC is known for attacking bacteria in blood, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and its abundance of lysosomes that break down protein.
NEUTROPHILS
This type of WBC makes up 62% of the WBC population
NEUTROPHIL
This WBC is known as a natural killer cell
Lymphocyte
This WBC makes up about 30% of the WBC population
Lymphocytes
This WBC has weak phagocytes, is produced in large amounts in people with parasitic infections (cured with hydrolytic enzymes and free radicals) and collects in tissues where allergic rxns happen
EOSIONPHIL
This type of WBC releases heparin to stop blood coagulation, releases histamine, bradykinin, and serotonin during tissue inflammation, aids in allergic rxns.
BASOPHILS
This type of WBC makes up about 0.4% of the WBC population and aids in tissue inflammation
BASOPHILS
This type of connective tissue consists of fragments of cell, blood platelets, secrete FIBRINOGEN that eventually forms a mesh of fibers at damaged site
THROMBOCYTES
This connective tissue is the most dense and hardest type.
Bones
