Epithelial Tissues
Aside from shape, this is the other method behind how epithelial tissues are organized.
What is by number of layers?
The substance found within connective tissues that provides connectives tissues their primary functions and structures.
What is extracellular matrix (ECM)?
Muscle tissues comes in 3 forms: skeletal, cardiac and this other non-striated tissue.
What is smooth muscle tissue?
Type of protein within tissues that provides strength to tissues.
What is collagen?
Type of cell that is responsible for the creation of keratin.
What is keratinocytes?
Type of epithelial tissue responsible for quick filtration.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
The only type of connective tissue that has a hard, calcified ECM.
What is osseous tissue?
The name given to the functional cells found within the nervous system.
What are neurons?
Type of protein found within tissues that allows tissues to stretch.
What is elastin?
Type of cell that is responsible for the creation of melanin.
What are melanocytes?
This type of epithelial tissue is responsible for the secretion of substances created by glands such as those found in the mouth.
What is simple cuboidal epithelial tissues?
The only type of connective tissue that as a liquid ECM.
What is vascular tissue?
The type of tissue responsible for creating its own rapid electrical signaling to contribute to its own pace.
What is cardiac muscle tissue?
Type of protein found within tissues to provide waterproofing to the tissue.
What is keratin?
Type of cell that is responsible for creating the ECM within cartilage.
What are chondrocytes?
The type of epithelial tissue that is found within the urinary bladder due to its ability to stretch.
What is transitional epithelial tissue?
Dense connective tissues have large amounts of this protein, hence the name dense.
What is collagen?
The name given to nervous system cells responsible for providing insulation to protect nearby tissues when electrical signals propogate throughout the body.
What is neuroglia?
Type of protein found within tissues that provides a structural framework.
What are reticular proteins?
Type of cell responsible for the creation of the ECM found within osseous tissues.
What are osteocytes?
The type of epithelial tissue that is most commonly found with cilia and goblet cells and generally located within the windpipe (trachea).
What is pseudostratified epithelial tissues?
Dense and loose connective tissues contain an ECM that is similar to this man made product.
What is plastic?
The word used to describe the inability to move muscle tissues.
What is involuntary?
Actin and this other protein is found within muscle tissues. They are responsible for the contraction of muscle tissues.
What is myosin protein fiber?
Type of cell responsible for the storage of excess energy.
What are adipocytes?
