Vocab chapterr 3 Part 2 Body Tissues

For Anatomy and Physiology vocab you can study

Blood Plasma

Blood cells surrounded by nonliving fluid matrix (Material)

Intercalated Discs

Branching cells that fit tightly together (Like hands clasped together) at junctions

Fibrosis

Repaired by dense connective tissue that is the formation of scar tissue

Adipose Tissue

Areolar tissue with fat cells

Areolar Tissue

Widely distributed variety of tissues that acts like a cushion and protects body organ wraps

Bone

Osseous Tissue composed of bone cells in lacunae

Connective Tissue

Binds body structures together provides protection, storage, and can be found everywhere in the body

Dense Connective Tissue

Dense fibrous tissues (2 types: Regular, Irregular)

Elastic Cartilage

Found in structures with elasticity

Endocrine Tissue

Epithelial Tissue

Tissue forming the outer layer of the body’s surface, and is hollow

Exocrine Glands

A gland that makes substances such as sweat, tears, saliva

Extracellular Matrix

Non living materials that surrounding (outside) living cell

Fibrocartilage

Forms cushion like disks between the vertebrae and spinal cord

Gland

One or more cells make and secrete a particular chemical substances to us or discharge in the body and surroundings

Hyaline Cartilage

Abundant collagen fibers hidden by rubbery matrix, glassy like appearance

Nervous Tissue

Made up of neurons

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Looks like a double layer nuclei are both on bottom and top

Regenration

Replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells

Secretion

Substances are sent out of the body

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Single layer of tall cells lines body cavities, lungs, capillaries

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Single layer of cube like cells forms walls of kidney tubes

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Single layer of flat cells

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Two layers of columnar cells, cells vary in shape, & size

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

Two layers of cuboidal cells

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Two layers of flat cells, has a protective covering and friction is common

Transitional Epithelium

Stratified Squamous Epithelium that for lining only in Urinary System

Lacunae

Tiny space for cells to live within Matrix

Osteocytes

Bone cells

Reticular Fibers

Mesh for the inside structure of small soft organs

Adipocytes

Fat Cells

Elastin

A protein forming main continuous elastic connective tissue

Hormone

Substance produced in an organism and transport tissue fluids like blood or sap to stimulate tissues into action

Striations

Stripes

Endocrine Glands

Denoting Glands which leak hormones or other products directly into the blood
