Tissue Types
Epithelial tissue best suited for diffusion and filtration.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
The two contractile filaments found in all muscle cells.
What are actin and myosin?
The name given to tissue fluid once it enters a lymphatic capillary.
What is lymph?
These nueral support cells are capable of cell division.
What are neruoglia?
Gas exchange occurs between these capillaries and body cells.
What are systemic capillaries?
Single layer of cells reaching different heights and nuclei at different levels; often bear cilia and contain goblet cells.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
The less movable attachment towards which the insertion is pulled.
What is the origin?
Drains digestive organs picking up digested nutrients and delivering them to the liver for processing and storage.
What is the hepatic portal vein?
This division of the autonomic nervous system uses acetylcholine as its postsynaptic neruotransmitter.
What is the parasympathetic division?
These finger-like projections increase surface area within the small intestine.
What are villi?
This widespread connective tissue proper underlies most epithelia.
What is areolar connective tissue?
T-tubules are an extension of this organelle in muscle cells.
What is the sarcolemma?
Lymph nodes are scattered along these.
What are lymphatic collecting vessels?
The third ventricle is located within this structure.
What is the diencephalon?
A surge in this hormone prompts ovulation.
What is luteinizing hormone?
This type of cartilage contains a lot of collagen and resembles dense regular connective tissue.
What is fibrocartilage?
One of the two types of bone tissue formation alongside endochondral ossification.
What is intramembranous ossification?
The third type of capillary alongside continuous and fenestrated.
What is sinusoid?
Encapsulated nerve endings that monitor stretch in locomotory organs.
What are proprioceptors?
The release of insulin in response to rising levels of blood glucose is an example of this type of hormone secretion control.
What is humoral?
Provides structural support to lymphoid organs.
What is reticular connective tissue?
A sheet-like tendon of connective tissue connecting a skeletal muscle organ to bone.
What is an aponeurosis?
The three branches off of the aortic arch.
What are the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery?
The choroid of the eye corresponds to these two meninges.
What are the arachnoid and pia mater?
The ascending loop of Henle leads into this tubule.
What is the distal convoluted tubule?
