Honors Anatomy Physiology Chapter 5

Tissue

Structures made out of similar cells that provide specific functions

Lines body cavities and covers the body’s external surface

Epithelium

Pumps blood, flushes urine out of the body, allows one to swing a bat

muscular

transmits waves of excitation

Nervous

Anchors and packages body organs

Connective

cells may absorb, protect, or form a filtering membrane

Epithelium

most involved in regulating body functions quickly

nervous

major function is to contract

Muscular

the most durable tissue type

muscular

abundant nonliving extracellular matrix

connective

forms nerves

nervous

What classifies epithelial tissue?

shape and layers

What type of epithelial tissue is found in skin?

stratified squamous

Where is ciliated epithelium found?

respiratory tubes

What role does ciliated epithelium play?

sweeps debris away

How does transitional epithelium differ from stratified squamous?

The cells are more rounded

How does the structural difference of transitional epithelium reflect in its function?

It is found in the bladder, which has to change its size often

Best suited for areas subject to friction

stratified squamous

propels substances across its surface

pseudostratisfied ciliated columnar

most suited for rapid diffusion

simple squamous

tubules of the kidney

simple cuboidal

lines much of the respiratory tract

pseudostratified ciliated columnar

stretches

transitional

lines the small and large intestines

simple columnar

lining of the esophagus

stratified squamous

lining of the bladder

transitional

alveolar sacs (air sacs) of the lungs

simple squamous

What is the makeup of the matrix in connective tissues?

protein fibers

How are the functions of connective tissue reflected in its structure?

the presence of a matrix that provides support, protection, and storage

Attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones

Dense fibrous connective tissue

forms your hip bone

Osseous Tissue (bone)

composes basement membranes; a soft packaging tissue with a jellylike matrix

areolar connective tissue

forms the larynx and the costal cartilages of the ribs

hyaline cartilage

firm matrix heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth

hyaline cartilage

matrix hard; provides levers for muscles to act on

osseous tissue (bone)

insulates against heat loss; provides reserve fuel

adipose connective tissue

makes up the intervertebral discs

fibrocartilage
