Epithelial Tissue
This type of epithelial tissue consists of a single layer of flat cells and is specialized for diffusion.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
the most abundant connective tissue type in the body.
What is areolar connective tissue?
The muscle tissue under voluntary control
What is skeletal muscle?
The functional cell of nervous tissue that transmits impulses.
What is a neuron?
The four main types of tissue in the human body.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues?
Found lining the respiratory tract, this epithelium has cilia and goblet cells.
What is pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium?
The rigid connective tissue that provides support and protection and has a solid matrix is called this.
What is bone?
This type of muscle tissue is striated but involuntary.
What is cardiac muscle?
The supportive cells of nervous tissue are collectively called this.
What are neuroglia or glial cells?
The thin, non-cellular layer that anchors epithelial tissue to connective tissue.
What is the basement membrane?
The top surface of epithelial tissue is called this.
What is the apical surface?
The extracellular matrix of connective tissue is made of these two main components.
What are ground substance and fibers?
The intercalated discs are unique to this muscle type.
What is cardiac muscle?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body.
What is the axon?
Scar tissue is made mostly of this type of fiber.
What is collagen?
The epithelium that lines the urinary bladder and allows stretching is called this
What is transitional epithelium?
Adipose tissue is specialized to store this.
What is fat/energy?
Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of these structures
What are hollow organs [like intestines, stomach, blood vessels]?)
The insulating material that covers many axons.
What is myelin?
This process replaces damaged tissue with the same type of tissue.
What is regeneration?
Epithelial tissue lacks these structures, which means it relies on diffusion from underlying connective tissue.
What are blood vessels?
These cells in connective tissue release histamine during inflammation.
What are mast cells?
The functional unit of skeletal muscle contraction is called this.
What is the sarcomere?
The junction between two neurons is called this.
What is a synapse?
Embryonic connective tissue is also called this.
What is mesenchyme?
