Tissues
What are the 4 main types of tissues?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
The top surface of an epithelial tissue
Free surface
What are the three main components of connective tissue?
Ground substance, extracellular matrix, fibers
The three muscle tissues are:
smooth, cardiac, skeletal
Convert stimuli into nerve impulses
Cube-shaped
cuboidal
A single layer of tall, closely packed cells
Simple columnar
A chondroblast makes this type of tissue
Type of tissue connected to bones of the skeleton
Skeletal muscle tissue
Has a non-living extracellular matrix
CT
Column-shaped
Columnar
Multiple layers of cube shaped cells
Stratified cuboidal
White, glossy cartilage covering ends of bones and composes the entire fetal skeleton
Hyaline Cartilage
The two striated muscle tissues are:
Cardiac and skeletal
Unable to regenerate
Neurons
Forms endocrine and exocrine glands
Epithelial tissue
This type of epithelial tissue lines the urinary bladder
Transitional epithelium
Provides strength and flexibility, as in external part of the ear
Elastic cartilage
Type of tissue found in the heart muscle
Cardiac muscle tissue
Glandular tissue
Epithelial
This type of tissue forms the brain and spinal cord
Nervous tissue
In this tissue, the nuclei are located at various points in the cell, giving it a falsely stratified appearance
Pseudostratified epithelium
Can soak up excess fluid
Areolar
Location of smooth muscle tissue
Walls of stomach, uterus, intestines, bladder, arteries, veins & eyes
Usually forms membranes and lines body cavities
Simple Squamous
