A bit of everything
process by which osseous tissue (bone) becomes hard and rigid
calcification
2 types of glandular tissue
endocrine
exocrine
Epithelial tissue that contains tall, skinny cells
What is columnar?
this tissue type contains lacuna
cartilage
Most common type of nervous tissue
neuroglia
This is a function of epithelial tissue
What to cover and protect? (or secrete, or any other function)
type of exocrine gland that releases secretions via exocytosis
merocrine
These are hairlike projections on the surface of some epithelial tissues
What are cilia?
3 characteristics of all connective tissue
derived from mesenchymal stem cells
various degrees of vascularity
largely composed of ECM
This type of nerve tissue cannot replicate

thyroid
pancreas
thymus
pineal
pituitary

What is sqamous?
name for mature bone cells
osteocytes
cardiac muscle
This is the kind of epithelial tissue that the epidermis of the skin is made of
What is stratified squamous tissue?
how do apocrine glands release their secretions
top portion of cell containing secretions breaks off
epithelial tissue that contains square shaped cells
What is cuboidal?
3 types of dense connective tissue
regular
irregular
elastic
contains cells that are multinucleated
skeletal muscle
This type of connective tissue provides high tensile strength in one direction, much like a rope. Name the tissue type and one of the two structures it makes up.
dense regular
tendons or ligaments
epithelial tissue that looks like it has multiple layers but is really only one
pseudostratified
epithelial tissue that frequently contains goblet cells
What is columnar epithelium?
3 types of loose connective tissue
areolar
adipose
reticular
these tissue types are involuntarily controlled
cardiac and smooth muscle
