Epithelial
This type of epithelial tissue is one layer thick and allows for efficient diffusion
What is simple squamous epithelium
The most abundant type of connective tissue, which stores fat
What is adipose tissue
This type of muscle tissue is under voluntary control and striated
What is skeletal muscle
The primary cell type in nervous tissue that transmits signals
What is a neuron
This epithelial tissue type is found in the skin and provides a protective barrier
What is stratified squamous epithelium
This connective tissue connects muscles to bones
What is tendon
This type of muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and is involuntary and non striated
What is smooth muscle
These supporting cells in nervous tissue provide insulation and support for neurons
What are glial cells
The primary function of epithelial type is secretion; it forms glands
What is glandular epithelium
This type of connective tissue forms the framework of organs and contains a gel like matrix
What is loose connective tissue
This muscle tissue is found in the heart and is striated and involuntary
What is cardiac muscle
The part of the neuron that receives signals
What are dendrites
This specialized epithelial tissue can change shape and is found in the bladder
What is transitional epithelium
This connective tissue is responsible for providing support and structure to the body and includes bones and cartilage
what is supportive connective tissue
The contractile unit of a muscle fiber
What is a sarcomere
This type of nerve cell transmits impulses away from the central nervous system
What is a motor neuron
The epithelial that appears layered but is actually a single layer of varying heights
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium
The primary fiber in connective tissue that provides strength and resistance to stretching
What is collagen
This process describes how muscles generate force
What is muscle contraction
The part of the nervous system responsible for reflex actions
What is the spinal cord
