tissues Flashcards
name the type of epithelial tissue
simple squamous
name the type of epithelial tissue
simple cuboidal
name the type of epithelial tissue
simple columnar
name the type of epithelial tissue
stratified squamous
describe the function of the simple columnar epithelial
- absorption & secretion of mucus, enzymes, & other substances
- line the digestive tract
describe the function of stratified squmous epithelial
- protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion
- ex: outer layer of skin & inside of mouth & esophagus
describe the function of loose connective tissue (areolar)
- holds epithelial tissue to another tissue
name the type of connective tissue
loose connective tissue, adipose (fat)
name the type of connective tissue
loose connective tissue, reticular
name the type of connective tissue
dense connective tissue, regular
name the type of connective tissue
dense connective tissue, elastic
name the type of connective tissue

name the type of connective tissue
osseous tissue, bone
name the type of connective tissue
blood
name the type of tissue
nervous tissue
name the type of muscle tissue
skeletal muscle
name the type of muscle tissue
cardiac muscle
name the type of muscle tissue
smooth muscle
which muscle tissue is multinucleate?
(has multiple nuclei)
skeletal
which muscle tissue has intercalated disks (spaces) between cells?
cardiac
what type of epithelial tissue provides protection with many layers of flattened cells?
stratified squamous
what type of epithelial tissue lines the air sacs of lungs & the blood vessels, & is one layer & very thin?
simple squamous
what type of epithelial tissue is usually associated with absorption & secretion?
simple cuboidal & simple columnar
what is the most abundant tissue type in the body?
connective
what are the 3 cell shapes of epithelial tissue?
simple, cuboidal, columnar
what type of connective tissue makes up tendons & ligaments?
dense regular
name 3 things that differentiate skeletal muscle from smooth muscle
- skeletal muscle is striated, multinucleate, & voluntarily controlled
- smooth muscle has no striations, 1 nucleus per cell, & is involuntarily controlled
what type of tissue transports nutrients, wastes, & gases throughout the body?
blood
what do blood, bone, & fat have in common?
they are all types of connective tissue
what type of tissue transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors?
nervous tissue
what type of connective tissue provides insulation for the body?
loose connective, adipose
what category of tissue forms membranes (linings)?
epithelial
what type of connective tissue found underneath all epithelial tissue in the body?
loose connective, areolar
epithelial tissue is called ____ because it does not contain blood vessels
avascular
which type of muscle tissue has intercalated disks?
cardiac
which type of muscle tissue lacks striations?
smooth
which cells are flattened & scale-like?
squamous (think squashed)
blood falls into what category of tissue types?
connective tissue
which category of tissue usually contains a large amount of matrix?
connective
which fiber gives connective tissue its strength?
collagen
a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function is called what?
tissue
what type of epithelial tissue is best at providing protection from abrasion?
stratified squamous
what is skin made up of?
stratified squamous epithelium
