characteristics, functions & locations (connective, epidermis, muscle, nervous)

QuestionAnswer
Dense Regular C.T C: densely packed collagen fibers are parallel to direction of stress F: attaches muscle to bone and bone to bone; resists stress applied in one direction L: Tendons and Ligaments
simple cuboidal C: single layered cubed like cells, nucleus is well rounded F: secretion and absorption; secretion of mucin L: lining body cavities (thoracic, pericardium, abdominal) kidney tubules, cover ovaries
Simple Columnar C: tall, appear columnar, sections are perpendicular to membrane, may contain goblet cells that secrete mucin F: secretion and absorption L: lines most digestive tract
Stratified Colunmar C: RARE. column shaped cells arrange in multiple layers F: Secretion and protection L: pharynx, anus, female uterus, male urethra and large ducts of some exocrine glands
straitified Cuboidal C: 2-3 layers of round nucleus in cubed shaped cell at apical surface F: protection and secretion L: sweat glands, mammary glands and salivary glands
adipose ct C: nucleus of adipocyte, vacuole containing fat droplet F: stores lipids 'fats' for fuel and thermal insulation and cushions organs, insulation, shock abosorber L: under skin surrounding organs, breast and cavities within bones. and kidneys
stratified squamous epithelium C: cuboidal as layer, degenerate surface cells, withstand moderate abrasion F: protection L: mouth, vagina, anal canal and esophagus
Pseudostratified columnar ciliated (PSCC) C: all tissue begin @ basement membrane, nuclei appears at various levels, and cilia F: protection; ciliated form also involved in secretion of musin and movement of mucus across surface by ciliary action L: nasal septum, trachea, bronchi and larynx
transitional C: stratified squamous/cubodial appearance and appears to be 4-5 layers thick F: distention L: ureter, urinary bladder
Loose Areolar C.T C: fibers, ground substance, matrix, elastic fiber, fibroblast and nuclei F: binds tissue, skin connects to muscle, protection, nourishment to the organs and structure it binds, stores "body fluid" L: beneath skin, around blood vessel, nerves and muscle
elastic connective tissue C: elastic fibers, lumen of artery of veins F: elastic fibers can stretch 1 1/2 their length and then recoil, fibers provide elasticity to tissues L: elastic fibers, lumen of artery or vein
Blood C.T C: REd blood cells, white blood cells and platelets F: carry oxygen and glucose to cells L: under skin
simple squamous C: one layered, flattened, irregularly shaped cells forming a continuous surface. F: Diffusion and Filtration L: covering visceral organs, capillary walls and aveoli of lungs
Dense Irregular C.T C:collage fibers, randomly arrange and clumped together; fibroblasts in spaces among fibers; more ground substance than in dense regular c.t. F: provides strength in tissues L: dermis of skin, periosteum, joint capsules, heart valves, dura mater
Simple cuboidal C: block appearance, nucleus is well rounded F: Secretion, excretion and absorption L: Lining Kidney tubules, salivary ducts and pancreatic ducts
reticular C.T C: Nuclei of reticular fibers, reticular fibers. Thin and netted F: forms stroma of lymphatic organs L: stroma spleen, cavities in lymph nodes, liver and bone marrow
Areolar loose c.t C: mostly ground substance, looks like fiberglass, lesser amount f collagen and elastic fibers F: binds and packs around organs L: surrounding nerves, vessels; and subcutaneous layer
elastic cartilage C.T C: elastic and collagen fibers are arrange irregularly F: provides framework and supports organs L: walls of large arteries
Fibrocartilage CT C: visible, parallel collagen fibers in matrix; lucunae house chondrocytes; no perchondrium F: shock absorbers L: between interbertebral disks, pubis symphysis and knee joint
Hyaline Ct C: looks like glass. clear, living in tissue; two chondrocytes per lacuna F: support with flexibility, forms smooth surfaces in joints L: nasal cartilage, ends of long bones, connects ribs to sternum and "C" shaped rings in trachea
blood c.t C: red spots, F: transport, themoregulation, defense agianst pathogens and communication L: blood
bone C.T C: looks like tree rings F: support, protection L: outer layer of bones
ciliated simple columnar epithelium C: single layer of tall, narrow ciliated cells, oval nucleas oriented lengthwise in teh basal region of the cell F: secretion of mucin and movement along apical surface L: ling of uterine tubes and large brochioles of respiratory tract
non keratinized stratified squamous C:multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous, surface cells are alive and kept moist F: protection of underlying tissue L: oral cavity, part of pharynx, esophagus, vagina and anus
keratinized stratified squamous C: multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous; more superficial cells are dead and filled with keratin F: protection of underlying tissue L: epidermis of skin
NON CILIATED PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR L: RARE; LINES EPIDIDMYMIS AND PART OF MALE URETHA
Skeletal Muscle C: fibers are long, cylindrical, striated, parallel and un branched. F: moves skeleton; responsible for voluntary body movement, locomotion, heat production L: attaches to bones or sometimes to skin (facial, muscles) also in sphincters-lips, urethra, anus
cardiac muscle tissue C: cells are short, bifurcated and straited, with one or two centrally located nuclei, intercalated discs between cells F: involuntary contraction and relaxation pump blood in heart L: heart wall (myocardium)
smooth muscle tissue C: cells are fusiform, short, nonstriated, and contain one centrally located nucleas F: involuntary movements and motion; moves materials through internal organs L: walls of hollow internal organs, such as vessels, airways, stomach, bladder, uterus
nervous tissue C: neurons w/rounded cell bodies and an axon and dendrites extending from the cell body; glial cells lack extensive fibrous processes F: neurons, for control, info processesing, storage, and retrieval internal communication L: brian , spinal chord, nerves

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
