four types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
criteria for epithelial tissue
arrangement of cells in layers, cell shape
epithelial tissue cells have an apical surface at the top and are attached to a basement membrane at the bottom.
True
Connective tissue fibers that are arranged in bundles and lend strength and flexibility to a tissue are collagen fibers.
True
Muscle tissues that can be voluntarily controlled
skeletal
avascular tissue
stratified squamous epithelial
If the lining of an organ produces and releases mucus, which of the following cells would likely be found in the tissue lining the organ?
goblet cells
Why does damaged cartilage heal slowly?
cartilage is avascular, so materials needed for repair must diffuse from surrounding tissue
Which of the following is true concerning serous membranes?
The serous membrane covering the lungs is known as pleura
The type of exocrine gland that forms its secretory product and simply releases it from the cell by exocytosis is the-
merocrine gland
Tissue changes that occur with aging can be due to-
cross-links forming between glucose and proteins; a decreased blood supply; improper nutrition
What type of cell junction would be required for cells to communicate with one another?
gap junction
ciliated simple columnar epithelium
lines the upper respiratory tract and uterine tubes; wavelike motion of cilia propels materials through the lumen
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
contains cells with microvilli and goblet cells; found in linings of the digestive, reproductive, and urinary tracts
transitional epithelium
found in the urinary bladder; contains cells that can change shape (stretch/relax)
simple cuboidal epithelium
contains cube-shaped cells functioning in secretion and absorption
simple squamous epithelium
contains a single layer of flat cells; found in the body where filtration (kidney) or diffusion (lungs) are priority processes
nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
contains cells that are all attached to the basement membrane, although some don't reach the surface; those cells that do extend to the surface secrete mucus or contain cilia
stratified cuboidal epithelium
rare type of epithelium that has a mainly protective function
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
found in the superficial part of skin; provides protection from heat, microbes, and chemicals
binds, supports
connective
contains elongated cells that generate force
muscle
neuroglia
nervous
avascular
epithelial
may contain fibroblasts
connective
tightly packed cells
epithelial
intracalated discs
muscle
goblet cells
epithelial
contains extracellular matrix
connective
striated
muscle
generate action potentials
nervous
cilia
epithelial
ground substance
connective
apical surface
epithelial
excitable
muscle/ nervous
mesenchyme
the tissue from which all other connective tissues eventually arise
lymph
connective tissue with a clear, liquid matrix that flows in lymphatic vessels
areolar connective tissue
connective tissue consisting of several kinds of cells, containing all three fiber types randomly arranged, and found in the subcutaneous layer deep to the skin
adipose
a loose connective tissue specialized for triglyceride storage
reticular connective tissue
tissue that contains reticular cells and forms the stroma of certain organs such as the spleen
dense irregular connective tissue
tissue with irregularly arranged collagen fibers found in the dermis of the skin
elastic connective tissue
tissue found in the lungs that is strong and can recoil back to its original shape after being stretched
hyaline cartilage
tissue that affords flexibility at joints and reduces joint friction
fibrocartilage
tissue that provides strength and rigidity and is the strongest of the three types of cartilage
dense regular connective tissue
bundles of collagen arranged in parallel patters; compose tendons and ligaments.
bone
tissue that forms the internal framework of the body and works with skeletal muscle to generate movement.
elastic cartilage
tissue that contains a network of elastic fibers, providing strength, elasticity, and maintenance of shape; located in the external ear
blood
connective tissue with formed elements suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma
