1

Mast cell

Cells that release protein (heparin) to prevent blood clotting, and histamine to cause inflammation

New cards
2

Macrophage

Cells that engulf debris and pathogens by phagocytosis

New cards
3

Axon

Longest fiber, it carries the signal away from the cell body

New cards
4

Dendrite

Receive stimuli from the environment

New cards
5

Adipocyte

Specialized cells that contains vacuoles to store lipids

New cards
6

Cell Body

Contains nuclei cytoplasm, and organelles

New cards
7

Smooth Muscle

Nonstriated, spindle-shaped muscle that is involuntary and cannot fatigue seen in intestine + vessel

New cards
8

Cardiac Muscle

Striated, branched muscles that are interconnected by intercalated discs that are involuntary and cannot fatigue only found in heart

New cards
9

Skeletal Muscle

Striated, cylindrical, slender tissue that is voluntary and unbranched. They can fatigue and bundles are called Fibers, move bones, tongue +eye socket

New cards
10

Loose Connective

Contain fibroblasts, matrix made of elastin and collagen matrix, surround organs + vessels in sac-like membrane

New cards
11

Fibrous Connective

Contain Fibroblasts, matrix of collagen, compose ligaments and Tendons and cornea

New cards
12

Blood

Produced in bone marrow, include red blood cells, white blood cells, and pantalettes, matrix is called plasma

New cards
13

Lymph

Non-polar tissue that circulates through lymph vessels, circulate lipids and immune cells, lymph nodes filled with macrophages that clean foreign materials from lymph

New cards
14

Cartilage

Composed of collagen, secreted by chondrocytes forms models of skeletal + matures into bone, avascular meaning slow to grow and repair

New cards
15

Bone

Collagen and calcium fibers, secreted by osteocytes, arranged in ring called osteons

New cards
16

Collagen

Strong protein fibers, thick straight or wavy, bundles, very strong + resist stretching

New cards
17

Elastin

Elastic protein fibers; slender branched, stretchy they recoil to original length after strength

New cards
18

Plasma Cell

Produce antibodies to flag foreign cells for immune system (white blood cells)

New cards
19

Inflammation

Produces several familiar indications of injury, swealing, reness, heat (warmth),pain increased blood flow, increased vessel permeability, increased temp, increased oxygen and nutrients, increased phagocytosis and removal of toxins and waste
