TISSUES Flashcards
Is a group of cells similar in structure and function
TISSUES
These four primary tissue types have distinctive structures, patterns and functions, and are further divided into subcategories.
- EPITHELIUM/EPITHELIAL TISSUE
- CONNECTIVE/ AREOLAR TISSUE
- MUSCULAR TISSUE
- NERVOUS TISSUE
Is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity.
EPITHELIUM/EPITHELIAL TISSUE
It occurs in the body as (1) covering and lining epithelium and (2) glandular epithelium.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
This type of tissue functions include protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion and sensory reception.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
4 Kinds of Epithelial Tissues
ENDOTHELIUM
MESOTHELIUM
MUCOUS MEMBRANE
SEROUS MEMBRANE
SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
Is a word used in connection with the epithelium forming the lining membrane of the heart and blood vessels.
ENDOTHELIUM
What kind of Epithelial Tissue that lines the membrane of the body cavities.
MESOTHELIUM
A type of Epithelial Tissue that secretes fluid, a sticky, stringy fluid.
MUCOUS MEMBRANE
A type of tissue that secretes a thin watery fluid and they form the pleura of the chest, peritoneum of the abdomen and pericardium of the heart.
SEROUS MEMBRANE
Type of Epithelial Tissue that lines the joint cavities and secrete fluid to lubricate a joint.
SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
Is the most abundant and widely distributed of the tissue types.
CONNECTIVE/AREOLAR TISSUE
This type of tissue primarily protect, support, and bind together other tissues of the body.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Three Types of Connective Tissues
ADIPOSE/FAT TISSUE
CARTILAGE/GRISTLE TISSUE
BONE/OSSEOUS TISSUE
It provides insulation for the body tissues and a source of stored foods.
ADIPOSE/FAT TISSUE
Consists of oval shaped cells with a cement substance between and holding them together.
CARTILAGE/GRISTLE TISSUE
Composed of cells having many processes extending out from the cell body like legs of a spider.
BONE/OSSEOUS TISSUE
A type of tissue that is highly specialized to contraction and body movement.
MUSCULAR TISSUE
Is the “meat” or flesh of the body and is found attached to bones and ligaments.
SKELETAL, VOLUNTARY OR STRIATED MUSCLE
Three Basic Types of Muscle Tissue
SKELETAL, VOLUNTARY, or STRIATED MUSCLE
VISCERAL, INVOLUNTARY, or SMOOTH MUSCLE
CARDIAC MUSCLE
Is found mainly in the walls of hollow organs (digestive and urinary tract organs, uterus, and blood vessels)
VISCERAL, INVOLUNTARY, SMOOTH MUSCLE
Is a type of tissues which make up the substance of nerves and nerve centers which is made up of two major cell populations.
NERVOUS TISSUE
Are special supporting cells that protect, support and insulate the more delicate neurons.
NEUROGLIA
Are highly specialized to receive stimuli (excitability) and to generate electrical signals that may be sent to all parts of the body.
NEURONS
Is a structure composed of two or more tissue types that performs a specific function for the body.
ORGANS
Is a group of organs that act together to perform a particular body function.
ORGAN SYSTEMS
What are the 11 Systems of the Body
NERVOUS SYSTEM
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
URINARY SYSTEM
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
SKELETAL SYSTEM
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Include the heart, blood vessels and blood that functions primarily as a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, ions, hormones and other substances to and from the tissue cells where exchanges are made
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Is concerned with ingestion, digestion and absorption of food or nutrition.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Helps maintain body homeostasis, promotes growth and development
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Includes all the skeletal or voluntary muscles. The primary function is to contract or shorten
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Allows body to detect changes in its internal and external environment and to respond to such information by activating appropriate muscles or glands.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
It provides germ cells called sperm and it provides also germ cells called eggs.
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Function to support the body and protect internal organs. It also provides levers for muscular action.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
The function is it rids the body of nitrogen-containing wastes including urea, uric acid and ammonia.
URINARY SYSTEM
Their function is to pick up fluid leaked from the blood vessels and return it to the blood. It cleanses blood of pathogens and other debris.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
It protect deeper organs from mechanical, chemical and bacterial injury.
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Cavity lies in front of the vertebral column.
BODY CAVITY
The 3 Main Body Cavities
THORACIC CAVITY
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
PELVIC CAVITY
Occupies the upper part of the body and is enclosed by the chest wall.
THORACIC CAVITY
Is a dome-shaped muscular partition between the thoracic and abdominal cavity.
DIAPHRAGM
Extends from the under surface of the diaphragm to the pelvic bones.
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
Is encircled by the bones of the pelvis and extends from the pelvic inlet to the floor of the pelvis.
PELVIC CAVITY
