Basic Tissues
epithelium, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protects, absorbs, filters, secretes | epithelial tissue |
| cells fit closely together to form membranes | epithelial tissue |
| membranes always have one free surface/edge | epithelial tissue |
| epithelial cells are attached to..... | a basement membrane |
| Have no blood supply of their own | epithelial tissue |
| type of epithelium: forms where exchanges occur (air sacs of lungs) | simple squamous |
| type of epithelial: forms serous membranes and forms walls of capillaries between tissue/blood | simple squamous |
| membranes that line the ventral body cavity and its organs | serous membranes |
| type of epithelial: found in glands and ducts | simple cuboidal |
| type of epithelial: found in salivary glands and pancreas | simple cuboidal |
| type of epithelial: forms walls of kidney tubules | simple cuboidal |
| covers surface of ovaries | simple cuboidal |
| type of cells which produce a lubricating mucus, found in simple columnar epithelium | goblet cells |
| type of epithethial: lines digestive tract | simple columnar |
| epithelial membranes the line body cavities open to body exterior | mucous membranes |
| type of epithelial: found in sites that receive a good deal of abuse/friction | stratified squamous |
| type of epithelial: found in esophagus | stratified squamous |
| type of epithelial: found in mouth | stratified squamous |
| type of epithelial:found in outer portion of skin | stratified squamous |
| type of epithelial: forms lining of only a few organs | transitional epithelium |
| type of epithelial: found in bladder, ureters, part of urethra | transitional epithelium |
| cells of the base layer of transitional epithelium are usually.... | cuboidal or columnar |
| type of epithelial: forms glands specialized to remove materials from the blood and make new materials, which they secrete | glandular epithelium |
| usually called ductless glands, no connection to surface | endocrine glands |
| examples are thyroid, adrenals, pituitary | endocrine glands |
| include sweat/oil glands, liver, pancreas | exocrine glands |
| most abundant and widely distributed of tissue types | connective tissue |
| most of these tissues are well vascularized | connective tissue |
| examples of connective tissue with poor blood supply | tendons, ligaments (and cartilages are avascular) |
| white fibers of matrix | collagen |
| yellow fibers of matrix | elastic |
| fine collagen fibers of matrix | reticular |
| main functions are to support, protect, and bind together tissues of the body | connective tissue |
| osseous tissue | bone |
| contains calcium salts, protect and support other body organs | bone |
| rubbery and smooth with a somewhat hard matrix | hyaline cartilage |
| type of connective tissue: found in larynx/voicebox | hyaline cartilage |
| type of connective tissue: attaches ribs to breastbone and covers ends of bones where they form joints | hyaline cartilage |
| type of connective tissue: the skeleton of the fetus is made of.... | hyaline cartilage |
| other types of cartilage found in the body are.... | elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage (forms disks between vertebrae of spinal column) |
| type of connective tissue: forms strong ropelike structures (tendons, ligaments) | dense fibrous tissue |
| attach skeletal muscles to bone | tendons |
| connect bones to bones at joints | ligaments |
| type of connective tissue: makes up lower layer of the skin | dense fibrous tissue |
| most widely distributed connective tissue | areolar tissue |
| type of connective tissue: helps to hold internal organs together and in proper positions | areolar tissue |
| type of connective tissue: has a semifluid matrix and contains all types of fibers, forming a loose network | areolar tissue |
| type of connective tissue: most of this matrix appears to be empty space | areolar tissue |
| type of connective tissue: insulates body, stores energy | adipose tissue |
| type of connective tissue: cells contain droplet of stored oil which takes up most volume | adipose tissue |
| type of connective tissue: form ring with nuclei pushed to one side | adipose tissue |
| type of connective tissue: forms blood, found in bone cavities | hemopoietic tissue |
| type of muscle tissue: attached to skeleton | skeletal muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: controlled voluntarily | skeletal muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: long, cylindrical, multinucleate, obvious striations | skeletal muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: has striations and branching cells that fit tightly together | cardiac muscle |
| junctions where cardiac muscle fits together | intercalated disks |
| type of muscle tissue: controlled involuntarily | cardiac, smooth muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: found in the walls of hollow organs | smooth muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: stomach, bladder, uterus, blood vessels | smooth muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: no striations visible | smooth muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: only one nucleus and spindle shaped | smooth muscle |
| type of muscle tissue: contracts the slowest of the muscle types | smooth muscle |
| a wavelike motion that keeps food moving through intestine | peristalsis |
| in nervous tissue the ________ is drawn out into long extensions | cytoplasm |
| two major functional characteristics are irritablilty and conductivity | nervous tissue |
