Definitions
Refers to the study of the structure or morphology of the human body.
What is Anatomy?
This type of tissue supports the other three basic tissue types both structurally and functionally.
What is connective tissue?
Bones are this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue?
These two systems make up the circulatory system.
What are the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems?
Cell division is made up of these two phases.
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?
"Cell eating"; the engulfing of large particles by a cell.
What is phagocytosis?
Epithelial tissues are classified by what two things.
What are layers and cell shape?
The type of cells responsible for the breakdown of bone tissue.
What are osteoclasts?
Blood is this basic tissue type.
What is connective?
Secreted by plasma cells.
What are antibodies?
Seeks to explain the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic organisms.
What is the Endosymbiont Theory?
Striated uninucleate muscle tissue.
What is cardiac muscle tissue?
One of the four classifications of bone alongside long, short, and flat.
What is irregular?
This valve separates the right atrium and ventricle.
What is the right AV/tricuspid valve?
The process by which DNA is converted into mRNA.
What is transcription?
Structures on the same side of the body.
What is ipsilateral?
Epithelial tissues, as well as smooth and cardiac muscle tissues, have these tunnel-like junctions between adjacent cells that function in intercellular communication.
What are gap junctions?
Long, cylindrical structures that run parallel to the long axis of a bone; made up of concentric lamellae.
What are Haversian systems/osteons?
This type of leukocyte with a bilobed nucleus is responsible for fighting parasitic infection.
What are eosinophils?
Teeth are the only example of this type of fibrous joint in the human body.
What are gomphoses?
A synovial joint in which an egg-shaped surface of one bone articulates with the oval cavity of another bone.
What is a condylar/condyloid joint?
Simple squamous epithelium that helps provide a friction-reducing lining for coelomic cavities.
What is mesothelium?
The third type of cartilage growth along with calcified cartilage and appositional growth.
What is interstitial growth?
Connects the sinoatrial node to the atrioventricular node.
What is the internodal pathway?
Found within the spiny layer of the epidermis, these cells are involved in immune response.
What are Langerhans Cells?
