31
Q

These are mechanical links that bind cells together

A

Desmosomes

32
Q

These are half desmosomes that anchor cells to the basement membrane.

A

Hemidesmosomes

33
Q

They prevent the passage of materials between epithelial cells because they completely surround each cell.

A

Tight Junctions

34
Q

They are small channels that allow small molecules and ions to pass from one epithelial cell to an adjacent one

A

Gap Junctions

35
Q

Are secretory organs that secrete substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into the bloodstream

36
Q

Ductless glands; secrete their product ( which are called hormones) into to the bloodstream

37
Q

Gland that has ducts and Composed of goblet cells, that secrete mucus

38
Q

Secretion release involves the release of secretory products by exocytosis

39
Q

Secretion involves the release of secretory products as pinched-off fragments of the gland cells

40
Q

Secretion involves the shedding of the entire cells

41

Collagen Fiber

45
Q

Fibers that are very fine, short collagen fibers that branch to form a supporting networks

A

Reticular Fibers

46
Q

Fiber that have the ability to return their original shape after being stretched or compressed, giving tissue an elastic quality

A

Elastic Fibers

47
Q

It trap large quantities of water between the polysaccharides, which allows them to return to their original shape when compressed or deformed

A

Proteoglycans

48
Q

Consists of relatively few protein fibers that form a lacy network, with numerous spaces filled with ground substance and fluid

A

Loose Connective Tissue

49
Q

Primarily consists of collagen fibers and a few elastic fibers

Has abundant elastic fibers among its collagen fibers that allow the tissue to stretch and recoil

A

Dense Elastic

56
Q

Marfan Syndrome

A

Inability to properly maintain and form elastic fibers

Line cavities that do not open to the exterior of the body, such as pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities

73
Q

Line the cavities of freely movable joints

74
Q

Mobilizes the body’s defenses and isolates and destroys microorganism, foreign material, and damaged cells so that tissues repair can proceed

A

Tissue Inflammation

75
Q

Involves substitution of dead cells for viable cells and Occurs by regeneration or by fibrosis

77
Q

New type of tissue develops that causes scar production and loss of some tissue function
