These are the three shapes that epithelium tissue can make.
What are squamous, cuboidal and columnar
100
Tendons and ligaments are made up of this type of connective tissue.
What is dense connective tissue (regular)?
100
The epidermis is primarily made of this tissue type.
What is stratified squamous epithelium
100
These are the two layers of the dermis.
What are the reticular layer and the papillary layer.
100
This type of connective tissue is made of very rigid calcium and phosphate. Its primary cell is called the osteocyte.
What is bone
200
This is the name for organs specifically designed for secretion and made up primarily of epithelim.
What are glands?
200
These are the two types of adipose tissue and their functions.
What are brown adipose (found in specific areas of the body and used for heat generation) and yellow adipose (abundant, used as an energy source)?
200
This type of cell is the primary cell type of epithelium.
What is the keratinocyte
200
This is what causes your fingerprints.
What is the dermal papillae
200
This connective tissue is unlike any other because it is in a liquid matrix.
What is blood?
300
Epithelial cells are capable of regeneration. What process are they undergoing?
What is mitosis
300
These are the three subdivisions of loose connective tissue.
What are areolar, adipose and reticular?
300
These types of cells contain our skin's pigment.
What are melanocytes
300
This layer contains around half of the body's lipids
What is the subcutaneous layer.
300
This type of membrane is found cushioning joints.
What is synnovial
400
This word refers to cells that do not have a direct blood source. Epithelium are considered to be this.
What is nonvascular?
400
Three types of cartilage are called this.
What are hyaline, fibrocartilage and elastic.
400
The process of pushing old cells out as new cells form is called what?
What is keratinization
400
This is the layer of the dermis responsible for most of the structural strength of the skin.
What is the reticular layer
400
These are the three types of membranes
What are serrous, mucous and synovial
500
Explain how endocrine glands are different from exocrine glands.
Endocrine glands are ductless and release hormones directly into the blood stream. Exocrine glands have ducts and release hormones onto tissue.
500
How do the three types of cartilage function? How are they different and where would you find them?
Hyaline is for strong support found in infants.
Elastic is for less support and found in ears.
Fibro is found in areas of great pressure like knees and veterbrae.
500
Thesetypes of cells are related to the immune system.
What are Langerhans cells
500
Sweat glands that open directly onto the skin are called this.
What are eccrine glands
500
The linings of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive passages are made of this type of membrane.
