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
