Question
Answer
show Similiar cells with common function. Study of tissues is called histology.  
🗑
Tight Junctions   show
🗑
show Bind cells by forming "spot welds" between membranes.(fingers interlaced)Most complex type.Outer skin cells.  
🗑
show Form tubular channels between cells that allow exchange of substances. Muscle cells of heart, digestive tract.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
show Single layer, flattened cells. Line air sacs, blood vessels, and lymph vessels.  
🗑
show Single layer cube-shaped cells. Line kidney tubules, cover ovaries, line ducts of some glands.  
🗑
Simple Columnar   show
🗑
show Single-layer, elongated cells. Nuclei at more than 1 level. Often have cilia and goblet cells. Line respiratory passageways.  
🗑
Stratified Squamous   show
🗑
show 2 or 3 layers, cube-shaped cells. Line ducts of mammery glands, sweat glands, and pancreas.  
🗑
Startified Columnar   show
🗑
show Cube-shapes and elongated mixed up.Line urinary bladder, ureters and part of urethra.  
🗑
Glandular   show
🗑
Endocrine glands   show
🗑
show Secrete their products into ducts that open onto surfaces, such as skin or the lining of the digestive tract.  
🗑
Unicellular Exocrine gland   show
🗑
show Many cells. Example swear glands, salivary glands.

🗑
Mast Cells   show
🗑
Collagenous Fibers   show
🗑
Elastic Fibers   show
🗑
show Very thin collagenous fibers. Highly branched. Form supportive networks within tissues.  
🗑
show Mainly fibroblasts. Contains collagenous and elastic fibers. Binds the skin to underlying organs and fills space between muscles.  
🗑
show Stores fat, cushions and insulates. Beneath skin, behind eyeballs, around kidney and heart.  
🗑
Reticular Connective Tissue   show
🗑
show Packed collagenous fibers and elastic fibers. Few fibroblasts. Binds body parts together. Tendons, ligaments, dermis. Poor blood supply.  
🗑
Elastic Connective Tissue   show
🗑
show Solid matrix. Supports and protects. Forms blood cells and attachment for muscles. Skeleton  
🗑
show Fluid matrix called plasma. Transports, defends, clots. Found throughout body in blood vessels and in heart.  
🗑
Cartilage   show
🗑
show Provides framework. Ends of bones, nose and rings in walls of respiratory passages.  
🗑
show Provides flexible framework. External ear and part of larynx.  
🗑
show Absorbs shock. Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee.  
🗑
show Line body cavities that don't open to outside. Secrete serous fluid. Inner lining of thorax and abdomem.  
🗑
show Line tubes and organs that open to outside. Secrete mucus. Line mouth, nose and throat.  
🗑
Cutaneous Membrane   show
🗑
Synovial Membrane   show
🗑
show Long, threadlike cells, striated and have many nuclei. Voluntary movement. Attached to bone.  
🗑
show Shorter cells with single, central nucleus. Involuntary movement. Non-striated. Lines walls of hollow organs. Digestive tract, constricts blood vessels, and empties bladder.  
🗑
show Branched cells, striated, and with central nucleus. Involuntary movement.Has intercalated discs and is only found in the heart.  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   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.
