Two kinds of cells in nerve tissue.
Neurons & Neuroglia
What are the functions of connective tissues?
protection, connection, transportation, insulation, support
Which muscle tissue has striations?
skeletal and cardiac
What is the function of epithelial tissue?
Absorption and protection
Epithelial cells are packed together so tightly and are said to be "avascular". What does "avascular" mean?
without the presence of blood vessels
Cardiac muscle is found where?
The Heart
The type of connective tissue that stores fat.
Adipose tissue.
The type of muscle found in the stomach.
Smooth muscle tissue
Epithelium made up of single layer of elongated tall cells, having nuclei at two different levels.
pseudostratified epithelial tissue
What is the function of muscle tissue?
contraction and body movement
The location you would find transitional epithelium.
Lining of the urinary bladder and ureters.
The type of connective tissue that has a liquid extracellular matrix.
Blood
Which type of connective tissues are involuntary?
cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
The two criterial that is used to classify epithelial tissue.
The study of tissue is called what?
Histology
The location you would find pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
Lining of the respiratory system.
How do you differentiate between dense connective tissue and loose connective tissue?
Look for fibers, the amount of extracellular matrix, and the what the fibers are aligned.
What is the main cell of nervous tissue and it's function?
Neuroglia, helps to protect and support neurons.
Endocrine - secrete substances directly into the bloodstream and are ductless.
Exocrine - secrete substance outward via a duct.
What type of cell becomes bone tissue?
osteocytes
Epithelium made up of layers of cub-shaped cells.
stratified cuboidal epithelium
Tendons and ligaments are classified as what type of connective tissue?
dense connective regular
Function of neural tissue?
Sense stimuli from the external environment and sending impulses to the brain for information processing.
The function of this epithelium tissue allows rapid diffusion of materials and makes up the lining of blood vessels and air sacs of the lungs.
simple squamous epithelium
All tissues have these two things.
cells and extracellular matrix
