Pictures of Tissues
100
Type of tissue that has one layer of flattened cells.
What is simple squamous
100
What are connective tissues composed primarily of?
What is the Matrix
100
The two muscle fibers found in muscle tissue are called?
What are actin and myosin.
100
Where would you find a tight junction?
Stomach, kidneys, etc.
200
What type of tissue is found in the trachea?
What is Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
200
What is the major cell type in the loose and dense connective tissues?
What is a fibroblast
200
The major cell of the nervous tissue is called?
What is the neuron.
200
What type of tissue would you find connecting your ribs to your sternum?
Hyaline Cartilage
300
What type of tissue is found in the bladder?
Transitional
300
What is the main determinant of connective tissue properties?
What is the characteristic of the matrix
300
What is one major difference between smooth muscle and skeletal muscle?
What is the skeletal muscle has striations and is voluntary
300
What type of fiber in connective tissue are small fibers mainly for support?
Reticular fibers
400
Name three functions of Epithelial tissue.
What is to prevent drying out, secretes mucus, and absorbs molecules.
400
Name the three types of fibers found in the matrix and describe their functions.
What is collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers. Collagen is for flexibility and strength, elastic is stronger than collagen, and reticular fibers are for support in the tissue.
400
Compare and contrast all three types of muscles.
What is smooth - non-striated, spindle shaped, involuntary. Skeletal - striated and cylindrical, voluntary. Cardiac - Striated and branched, involuntary
400
What type of connective tissue has aponeuroses as an example?
Dense Regular CT
500
Explain the difference between "keratinized" and "non-keratinized" with epithelial tissue.
Keratinized tissue is waterproof and strong and found outside the body (skin), non-keratinized is softer and found to line the openings of the body.
500
Name the 4 types of connective tissue and give a location for each major type.
What is Fibrous - Loose/Dense CT found beneath the skin, around the heart. Cartilage - nose, ear, ends of bones. Bone - Skeleton. Blood - Blood vessels
500
Name the three major components of the neuron and explain what their functions are.
What is dendtrites - to receive impulses, cell body - contains the nucleus, axon - conducts nerve impulses.
500
Compare and contrast the three types of junctions and where would you find each one.
Tight junction: impermeable layer, stomach or bladder. Gap junction: two adjacent membranes join, smooth muscle or heart. Adhesion Junction: plasma membranes do not touch but they are strong to withstand stretching. (heart or cervix).
