| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 4 Basic Types of Body Tissues | Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous |
| Fluid Extracellular Matrix of Blood | Plasma |
| Serous Membrane that lines Thorasic Cavity | Parietal Pleura |
| Tissue that Transports fluids and nutrients throughout the body | Blood |
| The type of connective tissue that stores excess energy in the form of fat | Adipose Tissue |
| Tissue that lines the intestines, stomach, and uterus | Simple Columnar Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the ducts of the mammary glands | Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the urinary bladder | Transitional Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the oral cavity, outer layer of skin, throat, vagina, and anal cavity | Stratified Squamous Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the walls of capillaries, blood and lymph vessels, and air sacs of the lungs | Simple Squamous Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the kidney tubules and surface of ovaries | Simple Cuboidal Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the respiratory passages | Pseudostratified Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines part of the male urethra and pharynx | Stratified Columnar Epithelium |
| Tissue that lines the salivary glands, sweat glands, and endocrine glands | Glandular Epithelium |
| Primary Characteristic of Muscle Tissue | Ability to contract |
| Membrane tissue that lines cavities and organs not open to the outside (simple squamous and loose connective) | Serous membrane |
| Membrane tissue that lines cavities and tubes open to the outside (loose connective) | Mucous Membrane |
| Skin membrane tissue | Cutaneous Membrane |
| Membrane tissue in the joints | Synovial Membrane |
| Type of glands that secretes into ducts | Exocrine Glands |
| Type of glands that secretes into tissue fluids or blood | Endocrine Glands |
| The most rigid connective tissue | bone |
| Connective Tissue cell that is largest, most common, star shaped, produces fibers | Fibroblast |
| Connective Tissue cell that engulfs other cells | Macrophages |
| Connective Tissue cells that release heparin and histamines | Mast Cells |
| Tiny projections in the small intestine that increase surface area for absorption | Microvilli |
| Glands that secrete fluids by exocytosis | Merocrine glands |
| Glands that secrete portions of cells | Apocrine Glands |
| Glands that secrete entire cells | Holocrine glands |
| Tissue in the nose, ends of bones, and rings in the walls of the respiratory passages | Hyaline cartilage |
| Tissue in the framework of the external ear and parts of the larynx | Elastic cartilage |
| Tissue between bony parts of the spinal column, parts of the pelvic girdle, and knee | Fibrocartilage |
| Tissue that makes up tendons, ligaments, and deeper layers of skin | Dense connective tissue |
| Tissue beneath the skin, between muscles, and beneath epithelial tissues | Areolar Tissue |
| Tissue that lines the walls of the liver and spleen | Reticular connective tissue |
