types of tissues
The study of tissues.
What is Histology?
What is adipose tissue?
What is cartilage?
the intracellular matrix for blood
What is plasma?
Striated, voluntary muscle tissue attached to bone.
What is skeletal muscle tissue?
What is a tissue?
the formal medical term for bone tissue.
What is osseous tissue?
The most common type of cartilage, found in the joints, larynx, and trachea.
What is hyaline cartilage?
What is cutaneous membrane
Striated, involuntary muscle tissue found exclusively in the heart.
What is cardiac muscle tissue?
made up of cells (fibers) that produce tension and convert chemical energy to mechanical energy.
Tissue made of a loose network of reticular fibers and cells that forms the framework of the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow.
What is reticular tissue?
Flexible cartilage providing support to the external ear and epiglottis.
What is elastic cartilage?
Membrane made of simple squamous epithelium on areolar tissue that lines CLOSED body cavities and covers enclosed organs.
What is a serious membrane?
Non-striated, involuntary muscle tissue found in hollow organs like your stomach and blood vessels.
What is smooth muscle tissue?
The most widespread and varied tissue type, serving to connect, support, bind and protect organs.
What is connective tissue?
What are ligaments?
A specific type of hyaline cartilage found at the ends of bones in moveable joints.
What is articular cartilage?
membrane composed of simple squamous epithelium resting on a thin layer of areolar connective tissue; lines some of the closed body cavities and also covers many of the organs in those cavities
What is serous membrane?
Nerve cells made up a of a cell body, axon, and dendrites.
What are neurons?
What is nervous tissue?
connective tissue adapted for tension in ONE direction with fibers arraigned in an orderly, parallel fashion.
What are regular dense collagenous tissues?
the strongest cartilage; forms the discs between vertebrae.
what is fibrocartilage?
lines cavities of freely moveable joints; not made of epithelial tissue
What is synovial membrane
Special cells whose primary role is to protect and support neurons.
What are neuroglia?
