Function
The term for the study of tissues.
What is histology?
Another name for the free surface or edge of epithelial tissue.
What is the apical surface?
This type of muscle tissue can be controlled voluntarily.
What is skeletal muscle?
A non-living substance only found outside of the cells in connective tissue
What is the extracellular matrix?
The type of nervous tissue that receives and sends a signal
What are neurons?
The most abundant and widely distributed tissue type.
What is connective tissue?
A group of cells that are similar in structure and function.
What is tissue?
The name of the lower surface that epithelial tissue rests upon.
What is the basement membrane?
This type of muscle tissue is only found in one very specific place in the body.
What is cardiac muscle?
Cartilage and bone are classified as __ tissue.
What is dense connective tissue?
The type of tissue that does not generate a nerve impulse but instead supports and insulates.
What is neuroglia?
Tissues that work together will form these.
What are organs?
Tissue with the function of absorption, filtration, secretion, and protection?
What is epithelial tissue?
Epithelial cells that are square in shape (same height and width).
What are cuboidal?
This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, uterus, and blood vessels.
What is smooth muscle tissue?
Blood and lymph are classified as ____ tissue.
What is liquid tissue?
The main structure of the neuron that we can see in the slides that is stretched out and contains a nucleus.
What is the cell body?
Exocrine and endocrine glands are made of this type of tissue.
What is epithelial?
This tissue has the function of protection, support/binding, insulation, and transportation?
What is connective tissue
Epithelial cells that come in a single layer.
What is simple epithelial?
These two muscle tissue types are controlled involuntarily.
What are smooth and cardiac?
A type of connective tissue that is commonly referred to as adipose.
What is fat tissue?
The part of the nueron that recieves the information.
What is the dendrite?
This type of tissue makes the membranes which surrounds organs.
What is epithelial?
The function of this tissue is to contract or shorten in order to produce movement?
What is muscle tissue?
A multilayered epithelium with flat cells.
What is stratified squamous?
These two types of muscle tissues have obvious striations.
What are skeletal and cardiac?
What is loose?
What is an axon?
This type of tissue supports, surrounds and cushions organs.
What is connective?
The function of this tissue is to to receive and conduct electrochemical impulses?
What is nervous tissue?
All epithelial tissue is this- lacking blood.
What is avascular?
This is the weakest muscle tissue; it requires wavelike contractions called peristalsis to move materials along.
What is smooth muscle?
Tendons and ligaments are this type of connective tissue.
What is dense?
The neuron is or is not one of the larger cells.
What is larger?
This is often found on the apical side of columnar epithelial cells to help move particles along.
What is cilia?
