Cards in this deck (39)
- 1The four basic tissues that comprise the bodyEpithelial cells, connective tissue cells, muscular tissue cells, nervous cells
- 2Epithelial Cellslines the surface of the body and the cavities of our body; has very little intracellular material
- 3Connective Tissue Cellscombine or hold together structures, support the body and aid in body maintenance
- 4Muscular Tissue Cellscapable of contraction when stimulated
- 5Nervous Cellsspecialized to transmit information
- 6Epithelial Tissue Cell Shapes and Number of Layerssquamous, cuboidal, columnar
simple, stratified/compound - 7Squamous Epithelial Tissueflat, plate-like
(lines blood vessels, heart, alveoli, lymph vessels) - 8Cuboidal Epithelial TissueCube-shaped
(secratory function in some glands- thyroid) - 9Columnar Epithelial Tissueoblong, column shaped
(inner lining for stomach, intestines, gall bladder, bile ducts) - 10Simple Epithelial Tissueone cell layer; where there is transport of material
(blood vessels) - 11Stratified/Compound Epithelial Tissuemore than one cell layer
(epidermis of skin, lining of mouth, pharynx, esophagus; conjunctiva) - 12Ciliashort, hairlike structures, providing a transport function for mucus
(epithelial cells may have it) - 13Location of Epithelial Tissueepithelial tissue proper, endothelial tissue, mesothelial tissue
- 14Epithelial Tissue Propertissue forming the skin
- 15Endothelial Tissuelines blood and lymph vessels
- 16Mesothelial Tissuelines the internal body cavities
peritoneal cavity: around the viscera- (abdominal organs)
pleural cavities: around the lungs
pericardial cavity: around the hear - 17Connective Tissue-combines or holds together structures
-composed of intercelullar material, the matrix, within which the cells of connective tissue are bound
-can be solid, liquid or gel like - 18Classifications of connective tissue properloose and dense
- 19Loose Connective Tissuefills spaces and is considered the packing material of the body
- 20Types of Loose Connective Tissueareolar and adipose
- 21Areolar Tissueforms the bed for the skin
- 22Adipose Tissueincludes a number of fat storing cells
- 23Dense Connective Tissueconsists of tightly packed extracellular fibers (either collagen [fibrous protein] or elastic)
- 24Types of Dense Connective Tissuetendons, ligaments, fascia
- 25Ligamentshave more elasticity than tendons and connect bone to bone (critical parts of joints)
- 26Tendons(white fibrous tissue:strong, dense and highly organized)
tough, non-elastic cords and attach muscle to bone, cartilage or other muscles - 27Fasciafibrous tissue that separates muscle into functional groups (surrounds muscle like cling wrap)
- 28Specialized Connective Tissuecartilage, bone, blood
- 29Cartilagehas important properties of strength and elasticity
-tensile strength keeps fibers from being easily separated when pulled (fingers)
-compressive strength lets it retain its form by being resistant to crushing forces (surrounds trachea to protect it) - 30Types of Cartilagehyaline, elastic, fibrous
- 31Hyaline Cartilage-smooth and glassy, blue cast
-provides smooth mating surface for the articulating surfaces of the bones
-offers strong support and flexibility
-found in rib cage, larynx, nose and much of embryonic skeleton - 32Elastic (yellow) Tissue-found where connective tissue must return to its original shape after being distended (outer ear, epiglottis)
-collagenous and reticular fibers: provide a flexible structure to fibrous connective tissue
-elastic fibers: provide tissue recoil to this tissue where needed - 33White Fibrous Cartilagecourse, thick parallel bundles, slightly compressible, found in the intervertebral discs and TMJ
- 34Three Types of Muscle Tissuestriated, smooth, cardiac
- 35Striated/Skeletal/Voluntary/Somatic Muscleshas striped appearance, moves skeletal structures, moves in response to conscious voluntary processes
- 36Smooth Musclesheet like with spindle-shaped cells
-includes muscular tissue of the digestive tract, blood vessels, etc (involuntary) - 37Cardiac Musclecomposed of cells that interconnect in a net-like fashion (involuntary)
- 38What Do Muscles Include?epimysium (fascia of connective tissue surrounding muscle), tendons (permit attachment to bones), nerve supply (providing stimulation to contracting bundle of tissue), vascular supply (providing nutrition)
