What are the three shapes of epithelial cells
What is Squamous, Columnar, and Cuboidal
Name the 5 major categories of Connective Tissue
What are, Bone, Blood, Cartilage, Dense/fibrous C.T., Loose/Areolar C.T.
What is the structural cell of nervous tissue?
What are 3 types of Muscle tissue?
Smooth, Skeletal, Cardiac
This tissue functions in support & reinforcing body organs
What is Connective tissue.
4 of the 6 functions of epithelial tissue and give an example of each
Protection - skin
Absorption - Digestive Tract
Filtration - Kidney
Excretion - Urinary Tract
Secretion - Sweat & Salivary Glands
Sensory - Skin
Whats are 5 functions of C.T.
Binds, Supports, Protects, Transports, Insulates
What is the part of the neuron called that houses the nucleus.
Soma
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 kind of cell can be found within columnar and cuboidal cells and functions in secreting mucus
What are goblet cells?
Tendons & Ligaments are examples of this connective tissue
What is Dense connective tissue?
What kind of impulse is sent from neuron to neuron?
Electrical
This muscle tissue can be found in the walls of hollow organs
What is Smooth muscle
This type of tissue makes up our epidermis & main function is defense & secretion (be specific).
What is Simple Squamous Epithelial tissue
Give me the scientific term for fat connective tissue.
Fat - Adipose
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
What are neuroglial cells?
the glue that binds nervous tissue
This type of muscle tissue can be found attached to the femur.
Skeletal
This tissue is good for stretching & is found in the bladder
What is transitional epithelium
Explain the difference in Simple, Stratified, and Pseudostratified.
Simple is one layer, stratified is multiple layers, and pseudostratified is one layer that looks like its multiple layers.
What are the 3 kinds of fiber found in Connective Tissue describe them
Elastic - Thin, stretchy
Collagen - Thickest, toughest
Reticular - Form webbing/mesh
Where are nervous cells found?
Brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system
What type of muscular tissue is found in the heart?
Cardiac
Makes up the spinal cord & brain
What is nervous tissue?
