16
Q

Lines and covers other tissues, absorbs nutrients, manufactures secretions and excretions. (Outer layer of skin, membranes, glands)

A

Epithelial tissue

17
Q

Acts as a barrier between the epithelial cell and the underlying connective tissue. It’s strength and elasticity help prevent the cell from being torn off by stretching and erosion.

A

Basement membrane

18
Q

Simple squamous epithelial tissue can be found where

A

Lining of the lungs, chest, and abdominal cavities

19
Q

Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue can be found where

A

Found in the surface of the ovaries, thyroid, and the lining of the liver, pancreas, kidney, and salivary gland.

20
Q

Simple columnar epithelial tissue can be found where

A

Lining the length of the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the rectum.

21
Q

Stratified squamous epithelial tissue can be found where

A

Occurs in regions of the body that are subject to chemical and mechanical stress such as the linings of the mouth, esophagus, vagina, and rectum.

22
Q

Transitional epithelial tissue can be found where

A

Great at stretching and can be found in portions of the urinary tract, urethra, ureters.

23
Q

Pseudostratified eptihelial tissue can be found where

A

Can be found in Portions of the trachea ect

24
Q

A tangle of randomly packed fibers and cells suspended in a thick, translucent, found substance. Most common type of connective tissue. It act’s generally as packing material to support and cushion organs ect.

A

Loose or Areolar connective tissue

25
Q

Most commonly known as fat. Found beneath the skin in spaces between muscles, behind the eye, the surface of the heart ect.

A

Adipose or loose connective tissue

26
Q

Forms the stroma and contains only one type of fiber (reticular fibers) . Framework for several organs such as the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Found in limited areas.

A

Reticular or loose connective tissue

27
Q

Composed of tightly packed parallel collagen fibers. Is silvery or white. Slow to heal, make up the tendons that attach muscles to bone and the ligaments that hold bones together at joints

A

Dense regular connective tissue

28
Q

Composed of primarily of collagen fibers that’s re arranged in thicker bundles. Found in the dermis of the skin and in the fibrous coverings of organs.

A

Dense irregular connective tissue

29
Q

Extremely flexible ligaments. Have high concentration of elastic fibers. Lies beneath the transitional epithelium in the urinary tract and regions of the heart due to needed stretching

A

Elastic connective tissue

30
Q

First step of healing is what

A

Inflammation

31
Q

The second step of healing is what

A

Organization (the formations of granulation tissue )

32
Q

The third step of healing is what

A

Regeneration or fibrosis (scar tissue)
