🗑
Nervous tissue   show
🗑
show -Membranes of adjacent cells merge and fuse. -Located among cells that form linings, sheet-like layers. -Blood-brain barrier.  
🗑
show -Form “spot welds” between cells. -Structural reinforcement. -Located among outer skin cells.  
🗑
show -Tubular channels between cells. -Molecules can move between cells. -Located in cardiac muscle cells.  
🗑

🗑
show -Single layer of thin, flat cells -Substances pass easily through air sacs (alveoli) & capillaries. -Thin & delicate, can be damaged. -Found in diffusion & filtration sites. -Lines air sacs (alveoli) & capillaries. -Lines blood & lymphatic vessels.  
🗑
show -Single layer of cube-shaped cells. -Secretion and absorption. -Lines kidney tubules, thyroid follicles. -Covers ovaries. -Lines ducts of some glands.  
🗑
Simple columnar:   show

🗑
show -Many cell layers. -Cube-shaped and elongated cells. -Changes shape with increased tension; stretches. -Line urinary bladder, ureters, and part of urethra.  
🗑
Glandular Epithelium   show
🗑
There are 2 types of glands   show
🗑
show secrete into tissue fluid or blood.  
🗑
show secrete into ducts that open onto surface.  
🗑
show Unicellular Multicellular  
🗑
Unicellular exocrine gland   show
🗑
show -Composed of many cells. -Sweat glands, salivary glands, etc. -Simple or compound.  
🗑
Simple structure Exocrine gland   show
🗑
show duct branches before it reaches secretory portion  
🗑
show consist of epithelial-lined tubes  
🗑
show terminal portions form sac-like dilations  
🗑
show Secrete fluid products by exocytosis; salivary & sweat glands, pancreas  
🗑
show Lose small part of cell during secretion; mammary & ceruminous glands  
🗑
Holocrine glands:   show
🗑
Fibroblasts:   show
🗑
show -Major cell type of Connective tissue -Usually attached to fibers, but can detach and wander -Conduct phagocytosis. -Defend against infection.  
🗑
show -Major cell type of Connective tissue -Large cells. -Release heparin to prevent blood clotting. -Release histamine, which causes inflammatory response.  
🗑
Fibroblasts produce 3 types of fibers in connective tissue   show
🗑
show -Thick threads of collagen, the body’s main structural protein. -Great tensile strength and flexible, slightly elastic. -Found in ligaments and tendons.  
🗑
Elastic (Yellow) Fibers:   show
🗑
show -Thin, branching fibers of collagen. -Form delicate, supporting networks. -Found in spleen, liver.

🗑


   

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.
