STEM CELLS
These are unspecialized cells that can become other cell types
stem cells
This tissue covers and protects surfaces
epithelial tissue?
Flat, thin cells used for diffusion
squamous?
These glands release substances through ducts
exocrine glands
This connective tissue transports oxygen
blood
The process of a cell becoming specialized
differentiation
This tissue includes blood, bone, and fat
connective tissue
Cube-shaped cells often found in glands
cuboidal
These glands release hormones into the blood
endocrine glands
This tissue stores energy and insulates the body
adipose
This type of tissue heals quickly because it has many stem cells
epithelial tissue (skin or intestines)
This tissue allows movement
muscle tissue
Tall cells used for absorption
columnar
Sweat glands are this type
exocrine glands
This tissue provides rigid support and protection
bone
This tissue has the LEAST ability to regenerate
nervous tissue
This tissue sends signals through the body
nervous tissue
Multiple layers of cells for protection
stratified
The thyroid gland is this type
endocrine gland
This tissue cushions joints and absorbs shock
cartilage
A patient has a burn. This process must occur for healing
differentiation
A patient cannot move their arm—this tissue is affected
muscle tissue
This epithelial type stretches in the bladder
transitional
A patient releases insulin—this system is involved
endocrine system
A patient tears a ligament—this tissue is affected
dense connective tissue
