Smooth muscle
27
Smooth muscle has?
No striation
28
This tissue acts as a rapid messenger service for the body and its messages can cause actions to occur
Nervous tissue
29

30
Conduction of information
Neurons
31
Branch-like formations on the neuron that receive sensory information are called?
Dendrites
32
Trunk-shaped structure transport information away from the cell body
The axon
33
This nerve cell supports and connects cell
Neuroglia
34
The membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord are called?
Meninges
35
Tissue repair is when right after an injury the_____?
Blood vessels are damaged and the wound is filled with blood that cause substances that cause it to clot
36
When inflammation occurs, with the symptoms of?
Redness, swelling, heat, and pain
37
During inflammation white blood cells called Leucocytes enter to?
Destroy any pathogens that may have entered when the wound and to remove cellular debris
38
Cells that can develop into connective tissue come in and begin pulling the edges of the wound together
Fibroblast
39
If the wound is severe, a tough scar composed of?
Collagen fibers may form
40
Scares can’t function like the tissues so the___?
Damage is permanent
41
What are some tissues that are excellent at regeneration ?
Epithelium, bone, blood, areolar tissue, and adipose tissue
42
What tissues are unable to regenerate?
Cardiac muscle and muscle tissue even if damages are minor
43
Which organs can be removed without causing major problems?
The spleen, appendix, or gallbladder
44
An organ is the result of ?
Two or more types of tissues organized in a way to accomplish something they can’t do on their own
45
A system is formed by?
Organs that work together to accomplish more complex that what a single organ can do on its own
46
In the integumentary system the body’s first line of defense is the?
Skin
47
The integumentary system regulates?
Temperature through sweating and shivering and changes in diameter of blood vessels in the skin
48
Sensory information received from the outside that comes from sensors on the skin such as?
Heat, cold, pain, pressure etc.
49
Glans in the skin help to ?
Lubricate and waterproof your skin and inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria
50
What are the main components of the integumentary system?
Skin, hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and nails
51
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
Provides support and structure for the body Protects organs Provides movement Stores a variety of minerals
52
What are the main components of the skeletal system?
Bones Joints Ligaments Cartilage
53
Movement created by conscious thought, like scratching your nose is called?
Voluntary muscle
54
What are Involuntary muscle
Perform without conscious thought Classified as smooth muscle or cardiac muscle Found in blood vessels, airways, and organs
55
This system sends and receives messages, stimulated by the body’s internal and external environment, affecting how we perceive the world and protecting us from harm
