Tissues
What are the 4 types of primary tissues
Epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous
Goblet cells are associated with what two types of epithelium?
Pseudostratified and simple columnar
the 3 types of cartilage and where they are found
elastic - outer ear
hyaline - nose, knee joints, ribs
fibrocartilage - between vertebrae
In what type of tissue will chondrocytes be found
Cartilage
What type of tissue is involved in peristalsis?
smooth (visceral) muscle tissue
The free surface of epithelial cells is called
apical surface
What type of tissue is found in the kidney tubules?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
The most abundant type of cartilage
hyaline
The term that describes epithelial tissues as lacking blood vessels.
Avascular
These cells conduct nerve impulses
neurons
what is the difference between tendons and ligaments?
tendons attach skeletal muscles to bone
ligaments connect bones to bones at joints
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found where in the body
skin
These cells produce collagen and other proteins that make up the extracellular matrix.
Fibroblasts
Why is it beneficial that areolar connective tissue provides a reservoir of water and salts to the surrounding tissues?
It acts as sponge to soak up excess fluid and wastes, and provide nutrients to surrounding tissues.
What type of muscle contains intercalated discs
Cardiac
The most abundant primary tissue in the body
Connective
What type of tissues are found in the trachea
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Dense regular connective tissue is found in what part of the body
ligaments and tendons
What are the general steps of tissue repair?
1. inflammation
2. granulation tissue forms
3. regeneration and fibrosis effect permanent repair
What type of muscle has no striations
smooth
why is blood considered a connective tissue?
what type of epithelium is beneficial because they are subject to considerable stretching?
transitional epithelium
Found in the subcutaneous layer of skin, around kidneys and heart, breast
adipose tissue
three types of cells that are suspended in the liquid matrix called plasma
Red blood cells, white blood cell and platelets
Where can smooth muscle be found
•Blood vessels, airways of lungs, stomach, and intestines
