Tissues Flashcards
Skeletal muscle
Cylindrical, many nuclei, attached to the bone, voluntary, striated.
Muscle tissue
Branchin cells, one nuclei, involuntary and striated
Smooth muscle
Spindle shape cell, one nuclei, in wall of bladder and stomach, involuntary. Walls of hollow internal structures.
Simple squamous epithelial
In the lung alveoli, used for filtration and diffusion. Single layered or flat disc shape
Areolar connective tissue
Gel like with all 3 fibers types. Wraps and cushions the organs. Widely distributed under the epithelial of body.
Epithelial tissue
Covers the outside of the body and lines all the organs. Closely pack cells a vascular. Nerve supply, high capacity for cell division.
Tissues
Is a group of cells with similar function.
Adipose tissue
Gel like matrix but very sparse. Stores fat gives you energy. Under the skin kidneys eyeballs
Connective tissue
Support and protection. Main focus extra cellular matrix. Composed of ground substances and fiber.
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Single layer or cube like with large spherical central nuclei, in the small tubes inside the kidneys.
Nervous tissue
Receive stimuli, transmit signal, forms cells.
Cardiac muscle
Branching cells, disc, involuntary one nucleus striated. Forms the wall of the heart.
Simple columnar epithelium
Single layer tall cell with round nuclei. Absorption and secretion if the mucus. Nonciliated type. Lines most of the digestive Tract
Bones
Hard calcified matrix containing collagen. Supports and protects.located in bones.
Dense connective tissue
Parallel collagen fibers provide strength. Attached to the bone muscle. In the tendons. The more collagen the stronger.
