Tissues
This type of tissue makes up the epidermis of the skin
What is stratified squamous epithelial tissue
Melanocytes, keratinocytes, tactile epithelial cells, and dendritic cells are found in this superficial layer of the skin.
What is the epidermis
This tiny weight-bearing pillar in compact bone is made up of rings of bone tissue called lamella.
What is an osteon
This ball and socket joint is formed from the articulation of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus.
What is the glenohumeral joint.
This type of muscle tissue is multinucleated, striated, elongated, and voluntary.
What is skeletal muscle tissue
This type of tissue is found in the reticular dermis, as well as in the periosteum, perichondrium, and perimysium.
What is dense irregular connective tissue
This cell of the dermis is the immature resident cell type in connective tissue proper.
What is a fibroblast.
This cell in bone tissue is responsible for breaking down old bone, a process called bone resorption.
What is an osteoclast
Flexion and extension of the elbow occur within this plane.
What is the sagittal plane.
This attachment point is the more distal attachment point, located on the more mobile bone.
What is the insertion
This tissue type withstands tensile stress when the force is applied in one direction. It is found in tendons and ligaments.
What is dense regular connective tissue
Hair and nails contain a hard version of this fibrous protein, while skin contain a soft version.
What is keratin.
This type of tissue forms the epiphyseal plate, the site of longitudinal growth in long bones through puberty.
What is hyaline cartilage.
A condyle (or condylar process) often articulates with this type of bone marking to form a joint.
What is a fossa.
This muscle serves as an antagonist for elbow flexion, falling on the opposite side of the joint at the biceps brachii.
What is the triceps brachii
This tissue type serves as a universal packing material, found in the papillary dermis and the endomysium.
What is areolar connective tissue
This pigment provides color from a reddish-yellow to a brownish-black to the skin and hair.
What is melanin
This long bone is found in the thigh and is the only bone to have a trochanter.
What is the femur
The femoral head articulates with this socket of the hip bone to form the hip joint.
What is the acetabulum.
This group of muscles located on the anterior side of the thigh crosses the knee joint, inserts on the tibial tuberosity, and produces knee extension.
What are the quadriceps muscles.
This tissue type is found in locations where strong support and the ability to withstand heavy pressure is needed, such as in the intervertebral discs and the meniscus of the knee.
What is fibrocartilage
This gland of the skin helps to regulate body temperature by releasing sweat as part of a negative feedback mechanism.
What is an eccrine sweat gland
These three bones make up the hip bone.
What are the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
At the tibiofemoral joint, the cruciate ligaments are named based on their attachment to this bone
What is the tibia
The anterior fibers of the deltoid, which originate on the lateral third of the clavicle and insert on the deltoid tuberosity, produce this movement when stimulated to contract.
What is shoulder flexion
