HA&P Lab Exercise 6

What are the four primary tissue types?

Epithelium, Connective Tissue, Nervous Tissue, and Muscle

This is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity that occurs in the body as covering and lining epithelium and glandular epithelium?

Epithelial Tissue/Epithelium

What is it called when membranes have one free surface?

Apical Surface

What are the cells attached to and supported by, that is an acellular material secreted partly by the epithelial cells and connective tissue cells that lie next to each other?

Basement Membrane

What kind of epithelia consist of one layer of cells attached to the basement membrane?

Simple epithelia

What kind of epithelia consist of two or more layers of cells?

Stratified epithelia

What can epithelia be classified as based on cell shape?

Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar

What kind of epithelia is a simple columnar epithelium and is often ciliated?

Pseudostratified epithelium

What kind of epithelia is a rather peculiar stratified squamous epithelium formed of rounded cells with the ability to slide over one another to allow the organ to be stretched and found only in urinary systems?

Transitional epithelium

What gland loses their surface connection as they develop and can be referred to ductless glands?

Endocrine glands

What kind of glands retain their ducts and their secretions empty through the ducts to the body surface or body cavities?

Exocrine glands

Simple squamous epithelium

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Simple columnar epithelium

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Stratified squamous epithelium

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Stratified columnar epithelium

Transitional epithelium

Mesenchyme

Loose areolar connective tissue

Loose adipose connective tissue

Loose reticular connective tissue

Dense regular connective tissue

Elastic connective tissue

Dense irregular connective tissue

Hyaline cartilage

Elastic cartilage

Fibrocartilage

Bone (Osseous tissue)

Blood tissue

Nervous Tissue

Skeletal muscle

Cardiac muscle

Smooth muscle

Which tissue is found in all parts of the body as discrete structures?

Connective Tissue

What is composed chiefly of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans?

Ground Substance

These are special supporting cells that protect, support, and insulate the more delicate neurons?

Neuroglia

What are highly specialized to receive stimuli and to generate electrical signals that may be sent to all parts of the body?

Neurons
