Question
Answer
epithelial tissue   show
🗑
show closely packed cells with little or no interstitial material (cells are bound to eachother by cell junctions such as tight junctions,desmosomes, and gap junctions)cells are arranged in continuous sheets (single or multi-layered) polarity 1 free (apical) s  
🗑
closely packed cells with little or no interstitial material is characteristic of...   show
🗑
cells are arranged in continous sheets single or multi-layered is characteristic of..   show
🗑
polarity- 1 free (apical) side of cell faces an open area and the opposite surface (basal) lays on a non-living "basement membrane" is characteristic of...   show
🗑
show no blood vessels  
🗑
show epithelial tissue  
🗑
show epithelial tissue  
🗑
variety of shapes from flat (squamous) to columnar is characteristic of..   show
🗑
show single, falt layer as in tiled floorfound where rapid movement of materials across is important, endotheliummesothelium  
🗑
show lines heart, blood and lymphatic vessels, forms capillary walls  
🗑
mesothelium   show
🗑
show appear as closely fitted polygons, function in secretion and absorption,  
🗑
show cells are rectangular with nuclei near basefunction in absorption and secretionfree surface is often modified with microvilli, cilia, or as goblet cells  
🗑
simple squamous epithelium ex.   show
🗑
show lining kidney tubules, secreting parts of glands and their ducts  
🗑
show lining the digestive tract from the stomach to rectum, upper respiratory tract, lining ventricle of brain  
🗑
show appearance is that of multilayered tissue, but it is not-cells are different heights and nuclei vary in their levels, may be ciliated  
🗑
pseudostratified columnar epithelium ex.   show
🗑
stratified squamous epiithelium   show
🗑
show raregenerally only 2 layersfunctions for protection  
🗑
show ducts of sweat glands, male urethra  
🗑
show raresurface cells are columnar, underlying cells varyfunctions for protection and secretion  
🗑
show urethra, ducts of salivary glands, milk ducts in mammary glands  
🗑
show much like a stratified cuboidal epitheliumbasal cellsare cuboidal, surface cells are dome shaped or squamous liketissue can be stretched without pulling cells apart

🗑
general characteristics of connective tissue   show
🗑
show may be fluid to firm to rigid  
🗑
show glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid

🗑
supporting c.t.'s   show
🗑
show matrix more gel-like due to chondroitin sulfates dense collagenous and elastic fibers, no blood vessels, no nerve fiberscells are chondroblasts and chondrocytes and are found embedded in matrix in lacunae (spaces)  
🗑

🗑
fibrocartilage   show
🗑
elastic cartilage   show
🗑

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.
