Epithelial
What are the main functions of epithelial tissue?
Protection, secretion, absorption, & excretion
What are the main functions of connective tissue?
Support, protection, framework for the body, stores fat, & fills space
What are the main functions of muscle tissue?
Movement
What is the main function of nervous tissue?
Coordinating and controlling body activities
What are the four types of tissue found in the human body?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
List three types of epithelial tissue.
Simple squamous, transitional, simple columnar, stratified squamous, pseutostratified columnar, simple cuboidal, & glandular
List three types of connective tissue.
Areolar, adipose, fibrous connective, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage, bone, blood
List the three types of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, & smooth
Where is nervous tissue found?
Brain, spinal cord, & nerves
Ligaments attach?
Bones to bones
Where is epithelial tissue found?
Found all over the body
Where is connective tissue found?
Also found all over body; most abundant tissue in body
Where is muscle tissue found?
What is the main cell of nervous tissue and what is its function?
Neurons transmit signals
Tendons attach?
What are the naming conventions of epithelial tissue?
Squamous: flat shaped cells, Stratified: multiple layers, cuboidal: cube shaped cells, simple: single layer, columnar: column/rectangular
What are the three types of cartilage? Where are they located?
Hyaline: covers the end of joints, Elastic: external ear & larynx, Fibrocartilage: found between vertebrae
Which muscle tissues are involuntary? Voluntary?
Skeletal: voluntary
Smooth & Cardiac: involuntary
What is a support cell found within nervous tissue and its function?
Neuroglia aid in protection and support.
Where would you find pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue?
Lining of air passages, trachea, & tubes of reproductive system
List three types of connective tissue, their function, and location.
Simple Squamous
Function → secretion, diffusion and filtration
Found → air sacs of lungs, capillaries
Simple Cuboidal
Function → secretion and absorption
Found → lining of kidney tubules & covering surface of ovaries
Simple Columnar
Function → secretion and absorption
Found → digestive tract & uterus
Stratified Squamous
Function → protection
Found → lines body cavities, skin & mouth
Pseudostratified Columnar
Function → secretion & cilia-aided movement
Found → lining of air passages - trachea & tubes of reproductive systems
Transitional Epithelium
Function → “stretchable” tissue, forms barrier to block diffusion
Found → bladder
Glandular Epithelium
Function → secretes substances, make the body’s glands
Found → Exocrine Glands & Endocrine Glands
List three types of connective tissue (besides types of cartilage), their location, and function.
Areolar Tissue
Function → forms thin membranes throughout the body
Found → throughout the body
Adipose Tissue
Function → Protective cushion, insulate to preserve heat, stores energy
Found → Fat, beneath the skin
Fibrous
Tendons → muscles to bone
Ligaments → bones to bones
Bone Tissue
Rigid due to mineral salts
Blood Tissue
Circulates throughout the body
Which muscle tissue shows striations?
Skeletal
Draw and label a neuron. Be sure to include the neuron itself, axon, dendrites, cell body, & nucleus
Answers will vary
The prefix pseudo in pseudostratified means what?
