Tissues
What are the 4 main types of tissues?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Single layer of Epithelial tissue
Simple
Adipose tissue is a type of _______ tissue.
Loose connective
Type of tissue connected to bones of the skeleton
Skeletal muscle tissue
Where is nervous tissue is found.
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
cardiac, smooth, and skeletal
muscle tissue
Three layers of cells that are about as tall as they are wide.
Stratified Cuboidal
Fibrocartilage
The two striated muscle tissues are:
Cardiac and skeletal
Communication and coordination.
Long, rectangular cells with an ovular nucleus
Columnar
In this tissue, the nuclei are located at various points in the cell, and not all cells reach both the free surface and the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified epithelium
Forms tendons and ligaments
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Location of smooth muscle tissue
Walls of stomach, uterus, intestines, bladder, arteries, veins & eyes
The long stem connected to the Cell body of a neuron which transports messages away from the cell body.
Axon
Characterized by Lamellae and Lacunae
Compact bone
The Function and Location of simple squamous epithelium.
Allows rapid diffusion of substances
Found kidney, alveoli of lungs, capillaries
Where you would find hematopoietic cells
Red bone marrow in cancellous bone.
Characterized by branched, involuntary, striated, multinucleated fibers with intercalated discs
Cardiac
The supporting cell structures found in nervous tissue.
What are neuroglial cells?
Characterized by Chondrocytes in Lacunae
Cartilage
Location and Function of Simple Columnar Epithelium.
Absorption & secretion
Found in the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract), uterus, kidney tubes, uterine (Fallopian) tubes, etc
Cartilage covering ends of ribs (costal), and giving strength to nose, larynx, and trachea. Also composes fetal skeletons.
Hyaline Cartilage
Characterized by unbranched, multinucleated, striated muscle tissue.
Skeletal
The structure that transports tissues toward the cell body.
What are Dendrites?
