Tissue Types
what is nervous tissue
first step of the healing process, a general body response that entails swelling, redness, pain, heat, and loss of function
what is inflammation
fat or adipose tissue works to store extra nutrition and insulates and protects the body from extremes of hot and cold. what kind of tissue is fat?
what is connective tissue
this prefix means "cell"
this tissue type makes up nerves, the brain, and the spinal cord
what is nervous tissue
outward facing side of a tissue; free side
this is described as delicate, pink tissue composed of new capillaries that grow into the damaged area from undamaged blood vessels nearby
what is granulation tissue
this tissue type makes up bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments
what is connective tissue
the prefix "-osteo" means what?
what is "bone"
muscular tissue makes up the 3 different muscle types found in the body. what are the 3 muscle types?
what are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Epithelial tissue is classified by these two characteristics:
what are cell shape and number of cell layers
What are the stages of tissue repair in order?
What are inflammation, granulation, and regeneration/fibrosis
of the 3 muscle types, which are voluntary? which are involuntary?
voluntary - skeletal
involuntary - smooth, cardiac
what is skin
this tissue type is responsible for functions of protection, absorption, filtration, and secretion
what is epithelial tissue
nonliving material in connective tissue consisting of ground substance and fibers that separate the living cells
what is extracellular matrix
What are the two determining factors that influence whether regeneration or fibrosis will occur?
what are tissue type injured and severity of injury
this is a highly modified stratified squamous epitheliums that changes shape to allow organs to have a larger capacity
what is transitional epithelium
this prefix has the meaning of "growth and development"
what is "-plasia"
dense connective tissue makes up strong, ropelike structures called tendons and ligaments. what is the difference between tendons and ligaments?
tendons - connect skeleton muscle to bone
ligaments - connect bones to bones at joints
the healing process begins almost immediately after injury occurs. It begins with inflammation which is a general body response. it also triggers what other response? which is extremely specific and attacks against invaders
what is the immune response
Describe why scar tissue is detrimental to function.
Scar tissue is fibrous tissue, fibrous tissue is made up of collagen fibers which are not able to replicate the function of the tissue it replaces
what are the bladder, ureter, and urethra
the words epithelium and epithelial tissue contain the prefix "-epith" which means what?
what is laid on, on top of, covering
blood is made up of connective tissue. a hallmark of connective tissue is the presence of fibers. when are the fibers of blood present?
only during clotting
