Describe the two-part naming system for epithelial tissue
What is first part= number of layers, second part= shape of cell
100
Junctions between cardiac muscle cells are known as these. They look like solid lines in tissue images.
What is intercalated discs
100
This is the type of connective tissue that is the most rigid.
What is bone/osseous
100
This is the main cell in nervous tissue that sends signals that enable the body to do tasks
What is neuron
200
These are the 4 main tissue types
What is connective, nervous, muscle, and epithelial
200
This type of epithelial tissue is able to change shape depending on the amount of pressure exerted on it. It is found in the bladder lining.
What is transitional
200
This muscle type is voluntary and is striated. The nuclei are pushed towards the edge of the cell
What is skeletal
200
The major fixed type of cell in connective tissue is this
What is fibroblast
200
These are the supporting cells of neurons
What is glial cells (or neuroglial)
300
This is the top surface of a tissue (found typically in epithelial)
What is apical
300
These are hair-like projections commonly found on columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What is cilia
300
This muscle type is non-striated and is involuntary.
What is smooth
300
This type of tissue deals with the storage of lipids
What is adipose
300
This type of membrane would include your skin
What is cutaneous
400
This is the characteristic of having no blood vessels present
What is avascular or avascularity
400
If there is more than one layer, it would be classified as this (one word)
What is stratified
400
This muscle type has intercalated discs and is striated. It is involuntary.
What is cardiac
400
The cells within cartilage tissue are known as this
What is chondrocytes
400
This type of membrane lines joints in the body
What is synovial
500
This type of exocrine gland releases secretions made up of entire cells that have broken off and died.
What is holocrine
500
What is a gap junction?
What is pores between cells allowing small molecules to pass between them
500
This type of muscle tissue allows for limb movement
What is skeletal
500
These are 2 functions of connective tissue
Bind structures
Provide support and protection
Serve as frameworks
Fill spaces
Store fat
Produce blood cells
Protect against infections
Help repair tissue damage
500
This type of membrane lines passageways that do not open up to the outside
