Tissues 1
What are the three shapes of epithelial cells
What is Squamous, Columnar, and Cuboidal
Describe a stem cell
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the potential to develop into many cell types in the body. Stem cells remain undifferentiated until needed to regenerate lost or damaged tissue.
This type of tissue makes up our capillaries & main function is absorption & secretion
What is Simple Squamous Epithelial tissue
These 3 structures make up our Connective tissue
Ground Substance, Fibers & various types of cells depending on the type of C.T.
What is the structural cell of nervous tissue?
This tissue type is made up of cells close together, an Apical (free surface), Basal/basement membrane, is Avascular (no blood) & Regenerates easily
What is Epithelial tissue?
This tissue functions in support & reinforcing body organs
What is Connective tissue.
Whats are 5 functions of C.T.
Binds, Supports, Protects, Transports, Insulates
What is the first thing that occurs when tissues are damaged?
Inflammation/Inflammatory Response
Give me the scientific term for 2 types of Connective tissue: Fat & Bone
Fat - Adipose
Bone - Osseous
Tendons & Ligaments are examples of this connective tissue
What is Dense connective tissue?
Striated, multinucleated, voluntary
This is the most abundant tissue type in our body
What is Connective tissue?
This type of muscle tissue is spindle shaped
What is Smooth muscle?
6 functions of epithelial tissue and give an example of each
Protection - skin
Absoprtion - Digestive Tract
Filtration - Kidney
Excretion - Urinary Tract
Secretion - Sweat & Salivary Glands
Sensory - Skin
What are the 3 kinds of cartilage and give me a location of each
Elastic - External ear, epiglottis
Hyaline - ribs, nose, trachea
Fibrocartilage - Intervertebral discs, knee meniscus
This muscle tissue can be found in the walls of hollow organs
What is Smooth muscle
This kind of epithelium is the most abundant in our body
What is Stratified Epithelial tissue
This tissue is good for stretching & is found in the bladder
What is transitional epithelium
This kind of cell can be found within columnar and cuboidal cells and functions in secreting mucus
What are goblet cells?
What are the 3 kinds of fiber found in Connective Tissue describe them
Elastic - Thin, stretchy
Collagen - Thickest, toughest
Reticular - Form webbing/mesh
Makes up the spinal cord & brain
What is nervous tissue?
Name the 5 major categories of Connective Tissue
What are, Bone, Blood, Cartilage, Dense/fibrous C.T., Loose/Areolar C.T.
What is the difference between Regeneration & Fibrosis tissue repair?
Regeneration = minor repair, done by the same type of tissue
Fibrosis = Major repair, scar is formed via C.T.
