100
An epithelium "built" to withstand friction
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
100
has a high content of hard calcium salts
What is osseous tissue (bone)?
100
these contain gap junctions that allow ions to pass freely from cell to cell, resulting in rapid conduction of the exciting electrical impulse across the heart
What are intercalated disks?
100
The nonspecific response of the body to injury that attempts to prevent further injury.
What is inflammation?
100
A wasting away (decrease in size) of a body part because of non-use or loss of its nerve supply
What is atrophy?
200
lines body cavities and covers surfaces; commonly has one surface attached and the other free
What is epithelium?
200
a soft packing tissue with a soft fluid matrix
What is areolar connective tissue?
200
Enables us to be aware of the external environment and to react to it; specialized for communication
What is nervous tissue?
200
the most desirable method of tissue repair; the replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells
What is regeneration?
200
another name for a malignant neoplasm (one whose cells resemble immature cells and invade their surroundings rather than pushing them aside)
What is cancer?
300
secrete their products (hormones) directly into the bloodstream
What are endocrine glands?
300
all tendons and ligaments are composed of this tissue.
What is dense fibrous connective tissue?
300
The tissue responsible for conduction of electrochemical impulses
What is nervous tissue?
300
two tissues that heal by fibrosis instead of regeneration. Because this fibrotic scar tissue doesn't do the job of the tissue it replaces, these tissues are severely handicapped by injury.
What are mature cardiac (heart) muscle and nervous tissue?
300
Most cells undergo mitosis until the end of puberty. This tissue, on the other hand, becomes amitotic shortly after birth. Therefore, it is seriously handicapped by severe injury.
What is nervous tissue?
400
located in the air sacs of the lungs, in capillaries, and the serosae.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
400
No one is literally a "fathead" because the brain is unable to store this tissue
What is adipose tissue?
400
The tissue responsible for essentially all body movements
What is muscle tissue?
400
a delicate pink tissue composed largely of capillaries that grows into the damaged area from undamaged blood vessels nearby. It also contains phagocytes that eventually dispose of the blood clot and connective tissue cells that synthesize collagen fibers (scar tissue) to permanently bridge the gap
What is granulation tissue?
400
when a body tissue or organ enlarges due to a local irritant or condition that stimulates the cells, such as the bone marrow's response to anemia
What is hyperplasia?
500
the epithelium found lining most of the respiratory tract
What is pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium?
500
Although most connective tissue is fairly well supplied with blood vessels, this connective tissue is avascular
What is cartilage?
500
two major functional characteristics of neurons
What are irritability and conductivity?
500
The method by which epithelial tissue, bone, and most of the fibrous connective tissues heal
What is regeneration?
500
chemicals and physical factors (such as x-rays and UV radiation) are believed to accelerate this process
What is the aging process?
