Cell Junctions
This cell junction adheres apithelial tissue to a basement membrane.
Hemidesmosomes
This tissue is found in kidney tubules, SMALL glands, and the surface of the ovary.
Simple cuboidal
The cells that secrete matrix in cartilage.
Chondrocytes
This is the only involuntary muscle type.
Skeletal
These two tissues are electrically excitable
Muscle and nervous
This cell junction is found in epithelial tissues under tight junctions.
Adherens
This tissue is found in areas where stretching occurs, like the urinary bladder.
Transitional
The liquid connective tissue.
Blood
The support cells for neurons.
Neuroglia
These cells secrete matrix in connective tissue proper.
Fibroblasts
The function of this cell junction is to allow ions, small molecules and electrical impulses to pass from one cell to another.
Gap junctions
This tissue has only one layer of cells and has cilia covering the apical surface.
Pseudostratified columnar
The general packing material of the body.
Areolar CT
This tissue is found surrounding organs and blood vessels.
Smooth muscle
This tissue looks like a transverse section of the rings of a tree under the microscope.
Compact bone
This cell junction restricts movement of things between cells to protect underlying tissue.
Tight junctions
This tissue makes up the epidermis of the skin.
Stratified squamous
This tissue connects the ribs to the sternum and is found at the ends of our long bones.
Hyaline cartilage
These cells are responsible for sending information throughout the body rapidly.
Neurons
This general tissue type contains cells that are densely packed together with little to no intracellular fluid.
Epithelial tissue
This cell junction is found in the epidermis of skin and between muscle cells of the heart.
Desmosomes
This tissue is found making up the air sacs of the lungs and small blood vessels.
Simple squamous
The function of this connective tissue is strength when pulled in ONE direction.
Dense regular CT
This tissue contains intercalated discs that can be seen darkly stained under the microscope.
Cardiac muscle
This general tissue type is responsible for movement.
