Epithelial Tissue
This tissue covers internal and external body surfaces, lines body cavities, and makes up glands.
Epithelial tissue?
This is the most abundant tissue in the body. The skin has a lot of it, and the brain has very little.
What is connective tissue?
This is the job of a muscle cell, in three words.
What is contract and relax?
This is the main cell type of nervous tissue.
What is a neuron?
What is the name of the cowboy in Toy Story?
Woody
In an epithelial tissue's two-part name, the "first name" describes this.
What is the number of layers?
This non-living substance fills the spaces between connective tissue cells.
What is the (extracellular) matrix?
This is the only muscle type under voluntary control.
What is skeletal muscle?
This is the job of a neuron.
What is receiving and passing impulses?
What is the name of the kingdom where Ana and Elsa live in "Frozen"?
This "first name" means one layer of cells.
What is simple?
These extremely tough protein fibers give connective tissue its strength.
What are collagen fibers?
This term names the striped pattern seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle.
What are striations?
A single neuron on its own is not a tissue but this level of organization.
What is a cell?
What is the only continent that lies in all 4 Hemispheres?
Africa
This "last name" describes flat cells.
What is squamous?
These fibers, made of elastin, stretch and bounce back like rubber bands.
What are elastic fibers?
This muscle type has no striations.
What is smooth muscle?
The brain belongs to this level of organization.
What is an organ?
Which country won the Fifa Women's World Cup in 2023?
Spain
This free surface is not attached to other tissue and faces the outside of the body or the inside of an organ.
What is the apical surface?
This loose connective tissue is mostly packed adipocytes. It stores energy, insulates, and cushions organs.
What is adipose tissue?
In this process, muscle fibers generate tension and change length to create force and movement.
What is contraction?
Like epithelial and muscle tissue, nervous tissue is made mainly of these, not matrix.
What are cells?
Which US state is nicknamed "The Sunshine State"?
Florida
This layer sits between epithelial tissue and the connective tissue beneath it.
What is the basement membrane?
This is the most common connective tissue. It contains all 3 fiber types and serves as packing material around organs.
What is areolar (loose) connective tissue?
Smooth muscle cells have this spindle-like shape, tapered at both ends.
What is fusiform?
Epithelial tissue has no blood vessels but is supplied with these.
What are nerves? (It is "innervated.")
Which singer's real name is Stefani Germanotta?
Lady Gaga
Epithelial tissue has nerves but lacks blood vessels, a property described by this word.
What is avascular?
This dense connective tissue has parallel collagen fibers and makes up tendons and ligaments.
What is dense regular connective tissue?
This muscle type has cells with many nuclei located along the edges.
What is skeletal muscle?
This connective tissue has no blood vessels and no nerves.
What is cartilage?
What are the traditional colors of the Olympic Rings?
Blue, Yellow, Black, Green, Red
This thin tissue allows diffusion in the lungs and blood vessels and resembles a tiled floor.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
This cartilage is the most common type and has a glassy look. It is found at the tip of the nose and connecting the ribs to the sternum.
What is hyaline cartilage?
This muscle type has cylindrical, branched cells, each with one central nucleus.
What is cardiac muscle?
These branching extensions receive signals coming into a neuron.
What are dendrites?
What is the smallest country in the world by area?
Vatican City
This tissue looks layered but is only one layer. It uses cilia to move mucus in the trachea.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This very flexible cartilage is found in the external ear and the epiglottis.
What is elastic cartilage?
These "little bridges" connect cardiac cells so the heart beats as one coordinated unit.
What are intercalated discs?
This long extension carries an impulse away from the cell body.
What is an axon?
What is the chemical symbol for Silver?
Ag
This tissue lines the ureters and urinary bladder and stretches as urine fills the bladder.
What is transitional epithelium?
All connective tissues develop from this embryonic tissue.
What is mesenchyme?
Intercalated discs contain these two types of cell connections, one structural and one electrical.
What are desmosomes and gap junctions?
This segmented covering wraps the axon and speeds up impulses.
What is the myelin sheath?
What does "WWW" stand for in a website address?
World Wide Web
