Test Review Tissues

forms membranes

epithelial

allows for movement of limps and for organ movement within the body

muscle

uses electrochemical signals to carry out its functions

nervous

supports and reinforces body organs

connective

cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances

epithelial

are the units for the major controlling system of the body

nervous

its cells shorten to exert force

muscular

forms endocrine and exocrine glands

epithelial

surrounds and cushions body organs

connective

characterized by having large amounts of extracellular material

connective

allows you to smile, grasp objects, swim, ski, and throw a ball

muscle

most widely distributed tissue in the body

connective

forms brain and spinal cord

nervous

forms outer layers of skin

epithelial

flat epithelial cells with bulging centers are

squamous

which connective tissue is not well vascularized

dense connective (tendons and ligaments)

functions of adipose tissue

storing long-term energy, cushioning, protection, and insulation

the type of epithelial capable of stretching or dissection with cells of different shapes is called

transitional

the type of epithelial tissue that is ciliated and lines the inside edge of the trachea and bronchi is called

pseudo stratified columnar

the type of epithelial tissue prevalent in the kidney tubules where only a single layer of cells is necessary is called

simple cuboidal

the the of epithelial tissue that lines the majority of our digestive organs and works in conjuenction with the mucus producing goblet cells is called

simple columnar

the inner lining of the esophagus and mouth is composed of

stratified squamous epithelium

full of collagen fibers, makes up tendons and ligaments of body

dense connective

the skins dermis is primarily this type of tissue

dense connective and areolar/loose connective

gel-like matrix capable of reducing edema (swelling), contains all fiber types

loose connective

forms entire fetal skeleton, also prevalent in the cartilage of ribs and rigid parts of trachea

hyaline cartilage

contains collagen fibers, forms the intervertebral discs where compression is frequent

fibrocartilage

makes the supporting framework (stoma) of lymphoid organs

reticular connective

loaded with white blood cells, prevalent in organs like the spleen and lymph nodes

reticular connective

cell tissue that discharges into ducts (epithelial)

endocrine

tissues whose cells change from squamous to cuboidal

transitional

tissue cells that secrete directly into the blood

endocrine

long cells with nuclei near basement membrane

simple columnar, stratified columnar, and pesudostratified

single layer of flat cells

simple squamous

tissue for absorbing and secreting in digestive system

simple columnar

tissue that is found lining the tubules of kidney

simple cuboidal

tissue which has specialized cells with microvilli for absorption

simple columnar

tissue that orotects in many later, such as high areas of friction

stratified squamous

tissue that makes up the outer five layers of skin

stratified squamous

tissues that line blood vessels and air sacs of the lungs (alveoli)

simple squamous

tissue capable of stretching

transitional

striated (muscle)

skeletal and cardiac

spindle-shaped cells

smooth

voluntary

skeletal

multinucleate

skeletal

attached to bones

skeletal

involuntary

cardiac and smooth

has intercalated discs

cardiac

has the ability to shorten or contract

all three muscle tissues

has branching cell fibers

cardiac

found in hollow organs of digestive system

smooth

what are the two functional characteristics of nervous tissue

conductivity and irritability

function of nerve support cells

support, insulate, and protect delicate movement
