The study of body structures
A: What is anatomy?
This epithelial tissue lines the air sacs of the lungs.
A: What is simple squamous epithelium?
The outermost layer of skin is made of this protective tissue.
What is stratified epithelium?
pleura, pericardium, peritoneum are examples of this type of body membrane
what is Serous Membrane
These biological macromolecules are primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
What are carbohydrates?
In the right lower quadrant (RLQ), inflammation of this structure can cause intense abdominal pain and often requires surgical removal.
Question: What is the appendix?
You’ll find this stretchy epithelium in the urinary bladder.
A: What is transitional epithelium?
Epithelial layers attach to underlying connective tissue via this thin, supportive layer made of proteins and glycoproteins.
What is the basement membrane?
The intervertebral discs and knee menisci use this collagen-rich tissue to absorb shock.
What is fibrocartilage?
This process describes how glucose enters cells with the help of specific proteins without using energy
What is facilitated diffusion?
This membrane lines the lungs.
What is the pleura?
The trachea is lined with this ciliated, mucus-secreting tissue.
What is pseudostratified epithelium?
Lacking striations and operating involuntarily, this muscle tissue is found in the walls of the intestines and blood vessels.
What is smooth muscle?
This connective tissue is found in the aorta walls due to its ability to recoil.
What is elastic connective tissue?
This muscle tissue type is involuntary and striated with intercalated discs
What is cardiac muscle?
In diagnosing RUQ pain, clinicians often assess this hollow organ that stores and concentrates bile, looking for gallstones.
What is the gallbladder?
This tissue forms tendons and ligaments.
What is dense regular connective tissue?
This type of loose connective tissue, comprised largely of fat cells, provides insulation, cushioning, and long-term energy storage.
What is adipose tissue?
With a free (apical) surface exposed to a lumen and a basement membrane anchoring them, these tissues can form exocrine glands specialized in secretion.
What are epithelial tissues?
Containing enzymes that break down foreign particles or worn-out cellular components, these vesicles are vital for intracellular digestion.
What are lysosomes?
These membranes line sealed-off cavities like the pericardial sac and secrete a watery fluid to minimize friction.
What are serous membranes?
The spleen and lymph nodes contain this loose connective tissue.
A: What is reticular connective tissue?
This flexible connective tissue, found in the external ear and the epiglottis, provides shape retention and elasticity.
What is elastic cartilage?
Bone, blood, and adipose tissue fall under this broader category of tissue types that provide support and transport functions.
What is connective tissue?
Found lining the interior of blood vessels, this simple tissue type allows efficient exchange of gases and nutrients at capillary surfaces.
What is simple squamous epithelium
Characterized by the presence of specialized goblet cells, these membranes play a vital role in producing mucus along the respiratory and digestive tracts
What are mucous membranes?
A patient with cystic fibrosis has thick mucus clogging this ciliated tissue, leading to chronic lung infections.
What is pseudostratified epithelium?
The spleen and lymph nodes rely on this delicate connective tissue to support immune cells.
What is reticular connective tissue?
This type of epithelial tissue has multiple layers for protection, such as skin
What is stratified epithelium?
Endocytosis is example of this type of transport
what is vesicular transport (requires ATP)
