A

sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body, line internal cavities and passageways, and form certain glands

also called epithelium

Q

muscle tissue

A

excitable, responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement

occurs as three major types: skeletal (voluntary) muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle in the heart

19
Q

fluid connective tissue types

A

blood

20
Q

simple squamous epithelium location and function

A

location: air sacs of lungs, some kidney tubules

function: allows rapid diffusion or transport of substances through membrane; secreted lubricating serous fluid

21
Q

simple cuboidal epithelium location and function

A

location: liver, thyroid, salivary, mammary, and other glands

function: absorption and secretion; production of protective mucous coat

22
Q

simple columnar epithelium location and function

A

inner lining of stomach, intestines

absorption; movement of egg and embryo in uterine tube

23
Q

ciliated pseadostratified columnar epithelium location and function

A

respiratory tract from nasal cavity to bronchi; male urethra

secretes and propels mucus

24
Q

keestinized stratified squamous epithelium location and function

A

location: epidermis; palms and soles

function: resists abrasion and penetration by pathogenic organisms; prevents water loss through skin

25
Q

nonkerstinized stratified squamous epithelium location and function

A

location: tongue, vagina

resists abrasion and penetration by pathogenic organisms

26
Q

stratified cuboidal epithelium location and function

A

sweat gland ducts

contributed to sweat secretion

27
Q

urothelium/transitional location and function

A

urinary tract; bladder

stretches to allow filling of urinary tract

28
Q

areolar tissue location and function

A

underlying nearly all epithelia

loosely binds epithelia to deeper tissues

29
Q

reticular tissue location and function

A

lymph nodes

forms supportive stroma (framework) for lymphoid organs

30
Q

dense regular connective tissue location and function

A

tendons and ligaments

ligaments tightly bind bones together to resist stress

31
Q

dense irregular connect tissue location and function

A

deeper portion of dermis of skin

withstands stress applied in unpredictable directions

32
Q

adipose tissue location and function

A

subcutaneous fat beneath skin

energy storage; thermal insulation

33
Q

hyaline cartilage location and function

A

over ends of bones at moveable joints

eases joint movement

34
Q

elastic cartilage location and function

A

external ear

provides flexible elastic support

35
Q

fibrocartilage location and function

A

pubic symphysis; intervertebral discs

resists compression and absorbs shock in joints

36
Q

compact bone location and function

A

skeleton

physical support of body

37
Q

blood location and function

A

heart and blood vessels

transports gases and nutrients

38
Q

nervous tissue location and function

A

brain, spinal cord, nerves

internal communication

39
Q

skeletal muscle location and function

A

skeletal muscles; mostly attached to bone

body movemebts

40
Q

cardiac muscle location and function

A

heart

pumping blood

41
Q

smooth muscle location and function

A

sheets of tissue in walls of blood vessels and digestive tract

swallowing; control of blood pressure and flow
