Anchors the epithelial tissue
basement membrane
3 things that make up connective tissue
fluid, fibers, and cells
Which muscle tissues has striations
skeletal and cardiac
type of tissue that secretes mucus and lines all body cavities that come in contact with the outside
Non-keratinized stratified squamous
Because epithelial cells are packed together so tightly blood vessels do not penetrate them, they are said to be
Avascular
Cartilage cells sit in spaces called
Lacuna
2 types of bone? What does bone look like under a microscope--what are you looking for?
Cancellous or compact bone, tree rings, black hole
Muscle found in the stomach helps with peristalsis
smooth muscle
Tissue that makes up the pericardium and viscera
simple squamous
Type of cartilage that minimizes movement
fibrocartilage or fibrous cartilage
What is heparin?
anticoagulant
which prevents the blood from clotting inside the blood vessels
Scaffolding of organs is what type of tissue
reticular
Specific part of the neuron that carries information to the next neuron
Axon
Difference between Keratinized and non-keratinized stratified squamous
Keratinized tissue has no nuclei at the surface due to the accumulation of the protein keratin; this tissue is dead. Non-keratinized tissue has nuclei at the surface; it is alive
Hematopoietic tissue is known as
Blood tissue
Mobile phagocytic cells that are part of our lymphatic system
macrophages
3 locations where elastic cartilage is found
External Ear, epiglottis, auditory canal (ear canal)
These coordinate the beating of the heart
Intercalated Disks
Type of tissue found in the fallopian tube
ciliated simple columnar
Fascia covering muscle is known as what kind of tissue
Dense Irregular Tissue
Binds skin to underlying tissue
areolar tissue
Most predominant CELL in connective tissue
fibroblasts or fibrocyte
Function of the axon, dendrite and cell body
Dendrite: receives information from the previous neuron
Cell Body: interprets the information
Axon: transmits the information to the next neuron/ away from cell body
List 2 locations where the following tissues are found Simple Ciliated Columnar, Simple Cuboidal, Simple Squamous
Simple Ciliated Columnar: Fallopian tubes & Bronchioles
Simple Cuboidal: surface of ovaries, ducts of glands
Simple Squamous: viscera of organs, blood vessels, pericardium, alveoli
Place where 2 neurons meet
synapsis
