transitional

Which cell is described as a rounded cell that changes shape with degree of stretching?

True

Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are released through ducts onto epithelial surfaces.

False

Exocrine glands produce hormones and release them into the bloodstream.

False

Glial cells have a cell body, dendrites (like antennae), and a long axon that sends the electrical impulses to another cell.

elastic connective tissue

This tissue that is dominated by elastic fibers instead of collagen fibers. This tissue is found in the walls of arteries, in the walls of the lungs, and in the elastic ligaments of the vertebrae.

reticular connective tissue

This tissue is found in organs where the cells are very organized and the reticular tissue helps to hold the cells, blood vessels, and other organ structures in place.

hyaline cartilage

This tissue is found covering bone surfaces located at synovial joints, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and between the tips of ribs and sternum.

Bone

This tissue has cells called osteocytes. They are enclosed by tiny chambers, called lacunae. 

simple squamous epithelium

This tissue is found in areas that are more protected and not subject to a great deal of friction, examples of which are the mesothelium and endothelium. 

cardiac muscle

This tissue is considered involuntary, striated, and one or two nuclei.

supportive connective tissue

This category of connective tissue consists of distinct cells and tightly-packed fibers in a gel-like or calcified matrix. 

nervous tissue

This tissue forms the central and peripheral nervous system structures.

transitional epithelium

This tissue allows for considerable stretching and is found in organs, such as the urinary bladder.

smooth muscle

This tissue is considered involuntary, non-striated, and single nucleated.

elastic cartilage

This tissue is dominated by elastic fibers. It is found in the external ear, the auditory tube, and some cartilages of the larynx.

epithelial tissue

The tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment is

connective tissue

Which tissue will establish a structural framework for the body as well as transport fluids and substances throughout the body?

simple columnar epithelium

This tissue is responsible for secretion, absorption, and protection. It is located in digestive organs, such as the stomach and intestines.

dense irregular connective tissue

This tissue is made of collagen fibers, but the fibers run in all different directions. This makes the tissue very strong. The dermis of the skin contains this tissue. It is also located around cartilages (the perichondrium) and around bone (the periosteum). It also forms a tough capsule around many organs.

adipose connective tissue

This tissue adds padding or support, stores fat, and acts as insulation. 

cartilage

This tissue has cells called chondrocytes. 

connective tissue

This tissue supports structures within the body, transports materials, and stores nutrients that can be broken down for energy.

adipose tissue

This tissue has cells called adipocytes. 

skeletal muscle

This tissue is considered voluntary, striated, and multinucleated. 

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

This tissue is found lining the respiratory tract. This epithelium contains cilia, hair-like projections that sweep material over the surface of the cell. Goblet cells are also found in this epithelium.

keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

This tissue is found in the epidermis of the skin.

collagen fibers

Straight and unbranched fibers that are strong and numerous in connective tissue proper. These fibers make up tendons and ligaments.

reticular fibers

These fibers branch and interconnect, forming a supportive framework of fibers. These fibers are found where stability is needed, such as around functional cell (or parenchyma) of organs, like the liver or kidneys.

elastic fibers

These fibers are built from the protein elastin. They can stretch and recoil back to their original length. Some ligaments in our body, like those connecting the vertebrae, are made of elastic fibers so that they can recoil after stretching.

cuboidal

Which cell is described as cube-shaped or hexagonal?

nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

This tissue is found lining the mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, anus, and vagina.

epithelial tissue

This tissue covers the outside of the body, lines the body surfaces and internal passageways, and forms glands.

fibrocartilage

This tissue contains many interwoven collagen fibers. It is extremely strong and makes up the intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis (the joint between the two pubic bones). It can also be found in and around joints, such as the knee.

areolar connective tissue

This tissue has an open framework and is found in the subcutaneous layer, which lies under the skin. It is commonly found supporting epithelial tissue.

nervous

Tissue that is specialized for the conduction of electrical impulses is ______ tissue.

dense regular connective tissue

The collagen fibers of this tissue run parallel to each other and are tightly packed. Tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses (broad, flat tendons) are examples of this tissue.

dense regular connective tissue

This tissue has a mostly cells called fibroblasts. 

areolar connective tissue

This category of connective tissue is characterized by a loosely arranged network of fibers (collagen, elastin, and reticular) embedded in a gel-like ground substance, providing support, cushioning, and flexibility to various organs and tissues by connecting them together.

squamous

Which cell is described as thin, flat, scale-like?

columnar

Which cell is described as a tall, column-like cell?
