Histology E1

Epithelial

100

This type of tissue is polarized, avascular, capable of regeneration, and very cohesive

What is Epithelial tissue?

200

This type of epithelial tissue appears as a single layer of flattened cells and functions as generalized lining, diffusion, and filtration.

What is simple squamous epithelia?

300

Simple cuboidal/columnar epithelium is one layer of cells with a cube/column shape and these two functions.

What is absorption and/or secretion?

400

Stratified squamous epithelia has multiple layers of nuclei and functions to do this.

What is resist friction?

500

Don't get this type of tissue confused with stratified cuboidal, all these cells are in contact with the basement membrane.

What is pseudostratified epithelia?

Connective Tissue

100

These two primitive tissues are directly derived from embryonic mesoblasts.

What are mesenchyme and mucous tissue?

200

This type of connective tissue is spindle shaped and responsible for the formation of non-specialized connective tissue.

What are fibrolasts?

300

Areolar/loose irregular connective tissue contains a lot of fibers in random direction and functions to do this.

What is packing, anchoring, and/or embedding material in organs of the body?

400

This type of connective tissue can be used to make leather due to its extreme tensile strength and tough sheets surrounding organs.

What is dense irregular connective tissue?

500

Unilocular adipose tissue is the major form found in adults with large, empty circles shown on a slide whereas this type of adipose tissue is mostly found in babies and gives off a more frothy appearance.

What is multilocular adipose?

Cartilage

100

This type of cartilage is the hardest and most abundant.

What is hyaline cartilage?

200

This type of cartilage can be found in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and the meniscus of the knee.

What is fibrocartilage?

300

Elastic cartilage, the most pliable is found where in the body?

What is the external ear, eustachian tube, epiglottis, and larynx?

400

After chondroblasts are secret matrix, they become these types of cells, which are embedded in lacunae.

What are chondrocytes?

500

This type of growth is formation of new cartilage at the surface just beneath the perichondrium.

What is appositional growth?

Bone

100

The cells that are involved in bone growth/remodeling/formation include osteoblasts, osteocytes, and these cells that actively removing bone.

What are osteoclasts?

200

This type of bone has a random pattern but able to withstand physical stress and is found in the epiphyses.

What is spongy bone?

300

Don't get these confused with Haversian canals, these types of canals transversely connects two haversian canals.

What are Volkmann's canals?

400

The outer lining of bone is called this, which is attached to the bone by Sharpey fibers.

What is periosteum?

500

This type of ossification results in the formation of flat bones.

What is intramembranous ossification?

Muscle

100

Skeletal and cardiac muscle both have this defining feature, whereas smooth muscle does not.

What are striations?

200

This part of the muscle functions to initiate stretch reflex, proprioception, and plays a role in maintenance of muscle tone.

What is a muscle spindle?

300

Cardiac muscle contains this defining characteristic which function to connect the ends of adjacent cardiac muscle cells.

What are intercalated discs?

400

This muscle contains a cigar shaped nucleus, nucleus on the periphery, and has red and white fibers.

What is skeletal muscle?

500

These three layers make up the hierarchy of organization of a muscle.

What is the endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium?
