Cards in this deck (21)
- 1Identify the tissueNeuron
Part of the Nervous System
Receives and transmits signals - 2Identify the tissueNeuroglia
Supports the neurons
Does not conduct signals
Protects, support, maintain equilibrium of the nervous tissue environment
- 3Identify the tissueSkeletal muscle
Can contract and relax
Moves the skeleton
Voluntary (under conscious control)
- 4Identify the tissueCardiac muscle
Only found in the heart wall
Not under conscious control
Contains intrinsic pacemaker system
(heart beats without external nerve stimulation)
- 5Identify the tissueSmooth muscle
Responsible for peristalsis in the GIT
Contraction in the lungs > bronchoconstriction
Contraction in the blood vessels > vasoconstriction
Also found in the renal system (ureters & bladder) & uterus
- 6Identify the tissueCollagen fibres (connective tissue)
Holds the tissues together
Structural integrity to tissues
- 7Identify the tissueAdipose tissue
Energy storage
Insulation & protection
Heat production
- 8Identify the tissueCompact bone
Support
Protection
Calcium reservoir
- 9Identify the tissueElastic fibres
Elastic support, flexibility
Allows tissue to stretch and recoil
- 10Identify the tissueSpongy (Cancellous) bone
Inside the bones
Provides framework for blood production
- 11Identify the tissueTendon
Connects bone to muscle
- 12Identify the tissueLigament
Connects bone to bone
- 13Identify the tissueCartilage
Reinforced by collagen and elastin
3 types: hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic
- 14Define epithelial tissue1. Tissue that covers the body
2. Tissue that lines cavities , hollow organs, and tubes.
3. Tissue found in glands - 15What is the role of epithelial tissue?1. Protection of underlying structures from dehydration and mechanical and chemical damage
2. Secretion
3. Absorption - 16Identify the tissueSquamous epithelium
- 17Identify the tissueCuboidal epithelium
- 18Identify the tissueColumnar epithelium
- 19Identify the tissueStratified epithelium
- 20Identify the tissueTransitional epithelium
(Can stretch- found in bladder wall)
- 21Identify the tissueBlood (connective tissue)
