Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration. Found in lungs and capillaries.

describe the function of this tissue type

Secretion and absorption. Found in walls of kidneys and ovaries.

describe the function of this tissue type

Absorption and secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances. Line the digestive tract; often ciliated.

describe the function of this tissue type (SCE)

Secretion of mucus. Ciliated variety lines the upper respiratory tract; may contain goblet cells.

describe the function of this tissue type (PS)

Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion. Ex: outer layer of skin and inside of mouth and esophagus.

Which muscle tissue has intercalated disks between cells?

Hyaline

Which type of cartilage connects your ribs to your sternum?

Stratified squamous

What type of epithelial tissue provides protection with many layers of flattened cells?

simple squamous

What type of epithelial tissue lines the air sacs of lungs and the blood vessels.

Connective

What is the most abundant tissue type in the body?

simple, cuboidal, columnar

What are the three cell shapes of epithelial tissue?

Dense fibrous

What type of connective tissue makes up tendons and ligaments?

Blood

What type of tissue transports nutrients, wastes, and gases throughout the body?

They are all types of connective tissue

What do blood, bone, and fat have in common?

Nervous tissue

What type of tissue transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors?; star shaped with long cellular extensions

adipose

What type of connective tissue provides insulation for the body?

Epithelial

What category of tissue forms membranes?

Areolar

What type of connective tissue is found underneath all epithelial tissue in the body?

Avascular

Epithelial tissue is called ________________ because it does not contain blood vessels.

hyaline

What type of cartilage forms much of the fetal skeleton and has a glassy appearance?

cardiac muscle tissue

Which type of muscle tissue has intercalated disks? (branched, striated, involuntary)

smooth muscle tissue

Which type of muscle tissue lacks striations and is involuntary?

squamous

Which cells are flattened and scale-like?

connective tissue

Blood falls into what category of tissue types?

connective

Which category of tissue usually contains a large amount of matrix?

fibers and ground substance (the gel-like fluid surrounding the cells and fibers)

What two components make up extracellular matrix?

collagen

Which fiber gives connective tissue it's tensile strength?

tissue

A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function is called what?

pseudostratified columnar

This type of epithelial tissue appears to have multiple layers but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane

stratified squamous

What type of epithelial tissue is best at providing protection from abrasion?; found in skin (may or may not be keratinized)

Histology

the study of tissues

Bone

Consists mainly of matrix, cells live in small holes called lacunae

Skeletal

the most common type of muscle tissue

fibrocartilage

type of cartilage that makes up the disks in the spine

skin

stratified squamous keratinized epithelium

goblet cells

a column-shaped cell found in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, which secretes the main component of mucus.

Matrix

The non-living portion of tissue

adipose connective tissue

acts as a storage depot for fat

elastic cartilage function

maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility

reticular loose connective tissue

lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen)

dense irregular connective

Function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions (irregularly arranged); provides structural strength from collagen.

Location: Fibrous capsules of organs and of joints; dermis of the skin; submucosa of digestive tract.

transitional epithelium function (and picture)

stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine; stretches and changes shape; urinary bladder

dense regular connective tissue

Function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction; densely packed containing parallel collagen fibers.

Location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses

nerve tissue

star shaped cells with long cellular extensions

Haversian canal

one of a network of tubes running through compact bone that contains blood vessels and nerves

Osteocytes

mature bone cells

Chondrocytes

mature cartilage cells

Adipocytes

fat cells that make up most of the subcutaneous layer

Fibroblasts

In loose connective tissue, cells that secrete the proteins of the fibers.

Bone (osseos tissue)

stores calcium and other minerals

elastic cartilage

cartilage with abundant elastic fibers; more flexible than hyaline cartilage; found in the external ear.

hyaline cartilage

Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose; collagen fibers appear faint (purplish)

elastic cartilage

external ear, epiglottis

aerolar connective tissue

soft packaging material that cushions and protects body organs

intercalated discs

Attachment sites between the transverse lines between cardiac muscle cells; responsible for cell to cell communication.
