General
Tissues are made of this
Cells
Forms tissue that can stretch, for example around the bladder.
What is transitional epithelial tissue.
The type of muscle tissue in the muscular system.
What is skeletal muscle?
The purpose of nervous tissue.
What is to send impulses to other parts of the body.
A type of loose connective tissue with reticular cells, empty space for blood cells, and netlike fibers
What is reticular tissue
Groups of cells with similar structure and function
Tissues
The exposed surface of the epithelial tissue.
The type of muscle that surrounds digestive organs.
What is smooth muscle?
The main nerve cells that send electrochemical impulses.
What is neurons
This type of connective tissue has fibroblasts that produce a lot of collagen which leaves very little empty space in the tissue.
What is Dense Connective Tissue?
Category of tissue that is found in body coverings, linings and glands.
Epithelial tissue
This tissue could look two layered but both tall and short cells are attached to the same basal membrane.
What is pseudostratified columnar.
The purpose of muscle tissue
What is to produce movement?
What is glial or schwann cells.
This type of tissue has chondrocytes that produce collagen in a rubbery matrix.
For an extra 100pts list the types.
What is cartilage?
Catagory of tissue composed of cells in a ground substance containing fibers.
Connective tissue
This forms layers of the skin and other areas where friction is common.
What is stratified squamous.
The type or types of involuntary muscle?
What is smooth and cardiac?
Key organs that nervous tissue is found in.
What are the brain and spinal cord.
This type of tissue has cells in lacunae and a dense matrix of collagen hardened by calcium.
What is osseous (bone) tissue
The study of the microscopic structure of tissues in anatomy
Histology
This forms thin membranes for example in the lungs and around capillaries.
What is simple squamous tissue
The lines between muscle cells of cardiac muscle.
What is intercalated discs?
The purpose of supporting nervous tissue.
What is to protect, insulate and support neurons.
A very common connective tissue found at the base of membranes and holding organs in place. Has many different types of fibers. - Be specific
Areolar tissue - a type of loose connective tissue
