Histology
Organize the following from smallest to largest.
Tissue, Organ, Organism, Cell, Organ system.
Cell - Tissue - Organ - Organ system - Organism
This type of epithelial tissue is one layer of flat cells. It is thin which allows for diffusion. It's found in the lungs and blood vessels.
What is simple squamous?
This type of connective tissue is the only liquid body tissue. It's matrix is called plasma and it is found in blood vessels.
What is blood?
This type of muscle tissue lacks striations and has a centrally located nucleus in each cell.
What is smooth muscle tissue?
True or False: Neurons have a short life span.
False
A group of cells with similar anatomy and physiology is the definition of this type of structure.
What is tissue?
This type of epithelial tissue appears to have several layers of cells but is only one layer. It propels particles forward using cilia. It's found in the fallopian tubes and trachea.
What is pseudostratified columnar?
This type of connective tissue has a rigid matrix with many collagen fibers and calcium salts. It provides support and protection, stores calcium, and produces blood cells.
What is bone?
This type of muscle tissue has striations and is branched. It's cells have a centrally located nucleus.
What is cardiac muscle tissue?
Diverse cells that fill spaces between and support neurons are called this.
What are neuroglial cells?
Histology is the study of this/these.
What are tissues?
This type of epithelial tissue is many layers of box-shaped cells. It is found in the ducts of sweat glands and mammary glands.
What is stratified cuboidal?
This type of epithelial tissue resists compression and tension. It is cartilage found in intervertebral disks and the knee.
What is fibrocartilage?
This type of muscle tissue has striations. Its cells are multinucleated and the nuclei are peripherally located.
What is skeletal muscle tissue?
Sensory neurons send messages from ________ to ________.
Sensory receptors; Brain
What is structure?
This type of epithelial tissue is several layers with a top layer that is sometimes flat and sometimes dome shaped. It stretches easily and is found in the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra.
What is transitional?
This type of connective tissue only has reticular fibers. It forms a soft skeleton that supports other cells.
What is reticular CT?
A muscle is contracted when it is __________ because of the presence of __________.
Shortened; Electricity
What are considered the two key components of the central nervous system?
Brain
Spinal cord
Physiology means this.
What is job or function?
Epithelial tissue is avascular and innervated this means that it lacks _________ and has ___________.
Blood vessels; Nerves
Organize the 9 types of CT (excluding blood and bone) into the following groups.
Loose CT, Dense CT, Cartilage
Loose CT: Areolar, Reticular, Adipose
Dense CT: Regular, Irregular, Elastic
Cartilage: Hyaline Cartilage, Elastic Cartilage, Fibrocartilage
Smooth muscle contraction is also known as this.
What is peristalsis?
What makes up the peripheral nervous system?
Nerves
