tissues

Question 1

epithelial tissue

Answer 1

sheet of cells that covers a surface or lines a body cavity, very strong, forms body’s glands

Question 2

endocrine

Answer 2

secrete substances directly into the blood stream

Question 3

exocrine

Answer 3

ducts carry products onto epithelial body surfaces or into cavities

Question 4

simple or stratified

Answer 4

number of cell layers

Question 5

squamous, cuboidal, columnar

Answer 5

describes the shape of the cells

Question 6

connective tissue

Answer 6

most abundant, loosely joined together

Question 7

two main types of CT

Answer 7

loose & dense (regular or irregular)

Question 8

specialized types of CT

Answer 8

cartilage, bone, blood

Question 9

cartilage

Answer 9

functional properties include reinforcement & support, shape maintenance, ability to absorb compressive shock

Question 10

bone

Answer 10

makes up skeletal framework of body, supports & protects by enclosing subdivisions of dorsal body cavity

Question 11

blood

Answer 11

allows the transport of respiratory gases, defense cells, nutrients, wastes

Question 12

nervous tissue

Answer 12

main component of nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves)

Question 13

nervous tissue cells

Answer 13

neurons, neuroglia (supporting cells)

Question 14

neurons

Answer 14

highly specialized cells which generate and conduct impulses

Question 15

neuroglia (supporting cells)

Answer 15

provide nutrition, insulation, and protection

Question 16

muscle tissue (3 types)

Answer 16

skeletal, smooth, cardiac

Question 17

skeletal muscle tissue

Answer 17

the major component of skeletal muscles that pull on different bones to generate movements under voluntary control

Question 18

smooth muscle tissue

Answer 18

lining of the inside of the organs in our body (inner tube), involuntary control

Question 19

cardiac muscle tissue

Answer 19

only occurs in the walls of the heart, involuntary control, forms our heart, strongest cells in the body

Question 20

origin

Answer 20

less movable attachment (more proximal attachment of muscle to limb)

Question 21

insertion

Answer 21

the more moveable attachment (more distal attachment to limb)

Question 22

membrane

Answer 22

epithelium + connective tissue

Question 23

membranous tissue

Answer 23

composite tissues cover and line surfaces outside and inside the body

Question 24

3 types of membranes

Answer 24

cutaneous, mucous, serous

Question 25

cutaneous

Answer 25

skin, dry membrane

Question 26

mucous (mucosa)

Answer 26

line the internal surface of every hollow organ that opens to the outside of the body (respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive tracts)

Question 27

serous (serosa)

Answer 27

type of slippery membrane that lines closed cavities inside the body (pleural, pericardial, peritoneal cavities)
