primary tissue types

epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous

epithelial

sheets of cells that line body surfaces, external or internal

connective

support tissues

muscle

excitable tissue that are capable of contraction

nervous

excitable tissue capable of transferring and integrating signals from one part of body to anothe

simple squamous epithelium

found in kidney glomeruli, alveoli of the lungs

simple cuboidal epithelium

found in kidney tubules ducts and secretory portions of small glands

simple columnar epithelium

lines digestive tract, gall bladder

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

found in trachea, male sperm carrying ducts

stratified squamous epithelium

epidermis of the skin, mouth, vagina

stratified cuboidal epithelium

found in the largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands

stratified columnar epithelium

male urethra, large ducts of some glands

transitional epithelium

ureters, urinary bladder

collagen

most abundant connective tissue

long, unbranched strands

very strong

elastin

found in tissue that must deform but resume resting shape

long moderately branched fibers

extremely stable

reticulin

overlapping fibers

fine, heavily branched strands

areolar connective tissue

found around most organs

adipose connective tissue

found around kidneys, eyeballs

reticular connective tissue

found in spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow

dense regular connective tissue

found in tendons, ligaments

dense irregular connective tissue

found in fibrous capsules, dermis of the skin

elastic connective tissue

allows stretch and recoil in large blood vessels

hyaline cartilage

ends of long bones, ribs

elastic cartilage

found in auricle of the ear

fibrous cartilage

found in intervertebral discs

mesenchyme

found in embryo

skeletal muscle tissue

attached to skeleton and skin

striated

cardiac muscle tissue

walls of the heart

striated

smooth muscle tissue

walls of hollow organs

non-striated

nervous tissue

found in brain, spinal cord

excitable

body cavity that holds the lungs and heart

thoracic

the wall of muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity

diaphragm

the membrane lining the most of the organs in the abdominal cavity

visceral peritoneum

the knee is ___ to the foot

proximal

This material must provide shape to structures that are not intended to deform very much

hyaline cartilage

This material should provide cushioning for structures that are placed under the stress of force that is all oriented in a single direction

fibrocartilage

What do we call a dense connective tissue containing a hard, calcified matrix and populated primarily by osteocytes

bone

What do we call a dense connective tissue containing a fluid matrix and populated primarily by erythrocytes and leukocytes

blood

What do we call a dense connective tissue containing an amorphous matrix and populated primarily by chondrocytes

hyaline cartilage

What do we call a muscular tissue in which the cells are striated, multinucleate, and parallel to one another

skeletal muscle tissue

What are the mucus producing cells in epithelial tissue called

goblet cells

What are the supporting cells of nervous tissue called

neuroglia

Identify one location where mesenchyme can be found

embryo

Identify one location in the body where skeletal muscle tissue can be found

biceps femoris muscle

This epidermal layer consists of many layers of flattened keratinized dead cells

strantum corneum

This structure produces a milky, protein- and lipid-rich secretion and is limited to the axillary and pubic region

apocrine sweat glands

What membranous system of tubules serves to either store and transport proteins or to synthesize steroids and lipids

endoplasmic reticulum

What stack of flattened membranous discs packages proteins and other substances for transport in vesicles

golgi apparatus

The daughter chromosomes separate during which phase of mitosis

anaphase
