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
______ is the microscopic study of tissue
Histology
______ is made of cells joined by intercalated discs, forming branched networks
Cardiac muscle
A ________ anchors epithelial tissue to connective tissue
Basement Membrane
_____ are a group of similar cells performing a similar function
Tissues
_____ are a group of tissues performing a specialized function. Example are the stomach lungs, and heart which are made up of several tissues each
Organs
Organ systems are a collection of several organs functioning together:
The digestive system
The cardiovascular system
The respiratory System
The digestive system is made up of these organs
Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine
The cardiovascular system is made up of these organs
heart and blood vessels
The respiratory system in made up of the organs
Nasal cavity, throat, trachea, lungs
An ______ is a collection of organ systems that carry on life processes. Example is a human with the various organ systems that he or she needs to live, including the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, urinary, etc.
Organism
______ protects, secretes, absorbs, secretes, and filters. Examples are skin and lining of the digestive tract
Epithelial tissue
_______ connects, supports, and transports. Example are tendons, bone, adipose(Fat), and blood
Connective tissue
_______ contracts and relaxes to provide movement and produce heat. example s are skeletal (voluntary) muscle, smooth (involuntary) muscle, and cardiac (heart) muscle
Muscular tissue
_______ conducts nerve impulses throughout the body or helps those that do. Example are neurons and neuroglial cells
Nervous system
The type of_____ that lines the urinary bladder and many urinary passageways is transitional
Epithelium
____________are composed primarily of dense connective tissue.
Tendons and ligaments
Bone cells are ______
Osteocytes
The most common cells found in connective tissues are called ____
Fibroblasts
The muscle tissue that can be consciously controlled is _________.
Skeletal muscle tissue
______ ______ is found in wall of the smooth and intestine
Smooth muscle
Tissue that stores fat is _____ ___
Adipose tissue
This tissue is found in the external ears, epiglottis, and auditory tubes are ________
Elastic Cartilage
The major tissue type that forms a gland is the ______
Epithelium
