Tissues

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show tissues  
🗑
show groups of cells that perform a common function  
🗑
show histology  
🗑
show epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous  
🗑
show covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms majority of glands  
🗑
epithelial tissues acts as   show
🗑
epithelium is classified by two-part name...   show
🗑
simple epithelium (classification by layers)   show
🗑
show lining of air sacs of lungs, intestines and blood vessels  
🗑
show two or more layers of epithelial cells that are found in areas subjected to mechanical stress (better able to resist wear and tear)  
🗑
show skin lining of the pharynx, esophagus  
🗑
show type of simple epithelium that appears to be layered  
🗑
show flat, wide, irregular in shape and arranged like flattened floor tiles  
🗑
show cube-shaped  
🗑
columnar cells (classification by cell shape)   show
🗑
show change shape depending on stretch of epithelium and occur where epithelium stretches and relaxes  
🗑
example of transitional cells   show
🗑
glands   show
🗑
show mucin, electrolytes, hormones, enzymes, and urea (nitrogenous waste)  
🗑
show lack ducts and secrete hormone products into intestinal fluid and blood to act as chemical messengers or influence cell activity elsewhere  
🗑
show connected with epithelial surface by duct  
🗑
show epithelium-lined tube for gland secretion  
🗑
show sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands  
🗑
connective tissue   show
🗑
show tendons and ligaments, body fat, cartilage, and bone, and blood  
🗑
functions of connective tissue   show
🗑
ligaments   show
🗑
tendons   show
🗑
show contains relatively fewer cells and protein fibers, is an abundant ground substance, and acts as the body's packing material by supporting structures  
🗑
three types of connective tissues   show
🗑
show surrounds organs, nerve and muscle cells, and blood vessels  
🗑
show commonly known as fat  
🗑
reticular loose connective tissue   show
🗑
show composed primarily of protein fibers, has proportionately less ground substance than loose connective tissue, and collagen fibers are usually the dominant fiber type  
🗑
show dense regular connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and elastic connective tissue  
🗑
dense regular connective tissue   show
🗑
dense irregular connective tissue   show
🗑
show most of the skin dermis, periosteum of bone, perichondrium of cartilage, and capsule around some internal organs (i.e. liver)  
🗑
dense elastic connective tissue   show
🗑
show walls of large arteries, trachea, and vocal cords  
🗑
show cells that can contract with nervous system stimulation and cause movement (voluntary motion of body parts, contraction of the heart, and propulsion of material through digestive and urinary tracts)  
🗑
show skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle tissue  
🗑
skeletal muscle tissue   show
🗑
show responsible for heart contraction, contains visible striations, and does not require nervous system to initiate a contraction (contraction initiated by specialized cardiac muscle cells)  
🗑
smooth muscle tissue   show
🗑
show the walls of intestines, stomach, airways, bladder, uterus, and blood vessels  
🗑
show located within the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, consists of cells called neurons, and conains large number of glial cells  
🗑
show receive, transmit, and process nerve impulses  
🗑
glial cells   show
🗑
show cell body, dendrites, and the axon  
🗑
show houses the nucleus and organelles  
🗑
show shorter, more numerous process that receives incoming signals and transmits information  
🗑
axon   show
🗑
show structure composed of two or more tissue types and work together to perform specific complex functions  
🗑
show stomach (contains all four tissue types)  
🗑
show lined by epithelium, has areolar and dense connective tissue in the walls, contains three layers of smooth muscle in walls, and has abundant nervous tissue  
🗑
show secretes substances for chemical digestion of nutrients  
🗑
show houses blood vessels and nerves and provides shape and support  
🗑
purpose of the three layers of smooth muscle in the walls of the stomach   show
🗑
purpose of nervous tissue in the stomach   show
🗑
show formed by epithelial tissue bound to underlying connective tissue that lines body cavities, covers viscera, and covers body's external surface  
🗑
show mucous, serous, cutaneous, and synovial  
🗑
mucous membrane   show
🗑
serous membrane   show
🗑
cutaneous membrane   show
🗑
show lines some joints in the body, and synovial fluid is secreted by the epithelial cells to reduce friction among moving bone parts and distribute nutrients to cartilage  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
