Tissues Flashcards
groups of cells that secrete and regulate extracellular substances
tissue
a group of cells and the fibers they produce
tissue
tissue with one side attached to the basal lamina and one side open to the environment
epithelial
tissue with many tightly packed cells and very little matrix arranged in sheets
epithelial
tissue that forms the superficial layer of skin
stratified squamous
tissue that lines blood vessels
stratified cuboidal epithelium
tissue that lines the respiratory tract
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
secretes substances, lined by epithelial cells, identified by branching patterns and morphology
glands
glands that contain secretory vesicles for production of secretions
merocrine secretion
glands that contain cells that break down to produce secretions
apocrine secretion
glands that produce secretions by cells bursting
holocrine secretion
epithelial membrane that is always columnar
mucous
epithelial membrane that lubricates structures with its fluid
serous
epithelial membrane that is stratified squamous and refers to the skin
cutaneous
epithelial membrane that lines the inside of joint cavities and produces fluid for lubrication
synovial
tissue composed of few, loosely packed cells & abundant matrix
connective
tissue that includes adipose, reticular and dense irregular tissues
connective
connective tissue proper with fibers that create loose, open framework (matrix)
loose
type of loose connective tissue proper that is a sub-cutaneous fat deposit, can protect blood vessels and store energy
adipose
type of loose connective tissue proper that gives shape and form to organs
reticular
connective tissue proper with fibers that are densely packed
dense
type of dense connective tissue proper with parallel fibers (very strong) that form ligaments and tendons, (collagen)
dense regular
type of dense connective tissue proper used for packing material and is not parallel, (collagen)
dense irregular
type of dense connective tissue proper that forms ligaments between vertebrae and is elastic and parallel (very very strong)
elastic
