Tissues Flashcards
What are the 4 types of tissue which are found in all vertebrate animals?
Connective, muscle, epithelial, tissue
_____ _______ Epithelium is a single layer of flattened, irregularly-shaped cells connected to a basement membrane
Simple Squamous
______Epithelium is a single layers of cube-shaped cells laying on a basement membrane
Simple Cuboidal
_______ Epithelium is a single layer of column-shaped cells laying on a basement membrane
Simple columnar
Pseudostratified columnar Epithelium is a single layer of column shaped cells laying on a basement membrane
Appear to be two cell layers since the nuclei of the various cells may be close to the basement membrane or far away from the basement membrane
_______Epithelium has layers or strata of simple squamous cells, with only the bottom layer of cells laying on the basement membrane-Example is the epidermis of the skin
Stratified Squamous
Three components that are found in connective tissue
Ground substance (noncellular) Protein Fibers (Collagen, reticular, or elastic) Specialized Cells (Fibroblasts and stem cells which produce cells)
Three types of connective tissue in vertebrates
Fibrous (Can be loose, dense, or adipose)
Supportive (Can be cartilage or bone)
Fluid (Can be blood or lymph)
Three Types of muscular tissue in vertebrates
Skeletal (voluntary so we can control movement;attached to the bone)
Smooth (involuntary so we don’t control its contractions;lines our digestive tract)
Cardiac (involuntary so we don’t control its contractions;found in the heart)
Nervous tissue is composed of cells called______.
Neurons
Nervous tissues conduct ______.
Impulses
_______. are tightly packed and lack blood vessels.
Epithelial tissues
Thin, Flat cells are _____________
Simple Squamous Epithelium
One layer of cells simple, and two or more are _____
Stratified
______ is a type of tissue that serves to hold in place, connect, and integrate the body’s organs and systems
Connective Tissue
