Intro
A group of cells that all perform the same specific function
What is a tissue
Epithelial tissue function
What is covers body surfaces and organs, lines body cavities
Connective tissue function
What is binds and supports body parts
These are the three layers of the skin (superficial to deep)
What is epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis/subcutaneous
Exposure to UV light causes the skin to darken by increasing the production of this
What is melanin
These are the four types of tissue
What is epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue is classified by
What is cell shape and cell layers
These are the three types of fibers in the matrix
What is collagenous (white), elastic (yellow), and reticular fibers
These are the five layers of the epidermis (deep to superficial)
What is basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, and corneum
This serous membrane lines cavities; this serous membrane covers organs
What is parietal; what is visceral
These are the three types of muscle tissue
What is skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle
These are the five types of epithelial tissue
What is squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudostratified, and transitional epithelium
These are the two types of dense connective tissue
What is regular and irregular
These are the two layers of the dermis
What is papillary and reticular
This type of cartilage absorbs shock and reduces friction between joints
What is fibrocartilage
These are the two types of membranes
What is mucous and serous membranes
This type of epithelium is found in areas where molecules diffuse across a membrane
What is simple squamous epithelium
These are the three types of loose connective tissue
What is areolar, adipose, and reticular
This layer of epidermis is only found in thick skin
What is lucidum
These are the three types of glands
What is holocrine, apocrine, and merocrine
These are the three types of cartilage
What is hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
This type of epithelium is capable of stretching
What is transitional epithelium
Which type of fiber stores and produces white blood cells
What is reticular fibers
These are the five functions of the skin
What is protection, regulation of water loss, production of vitamin D, gathering of sensory information, and regulation of body temperature
This type of cartilage is found in the outer ear
What is elastic cartilage
