Tissues- General
These are the four main types of tissues in the body.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue?
This category of epithelial tissues has only one layer of cells.
What is simple epithelium?
This connective tissue has a calcified ground substance.
What is bone?
The three types of muscle tissue found in the body
What are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle?
This is the function of nervous tissue
What is transmitting electrical impulses?
One of the following is NOT a major category of tissue: nervous, epithelial, vascular, or muscular.
What is vascular?
The top surface of epithelial tissue is called this, while the bottom surface is called this.
What are apical (free surface) and basal surface or basement?
This type of connective tissue stores large droplets of fat inside cells
What is adipose tissue?
This muscle tissue is non-striated and involuntary
What is smooth muscle?
The two types of nervous tissue cells
What are neurons and neuroglia
This type of tissue covers body surfaces and lines organs.
What is epithelial?
Goblet cells for secreting mucus are found in this type of epithelial tissue
What is columnar epithelium?
The connective tissue found in tendons, giving strength in one direction.
What is dense regular connective tissue?
This muscle tissue is striated and voluntary
What is skeletal muscle?
Nerve tissue that cannot regenerate
What is a neuron?
This tissue category allows communication by sending electrical impulses.
What is nervous tissue?
The mammary glands are this type of gland because they secrete part of the cell with milk.
What are apocrine glands?
This connective tissue is found in your earlobe and nose tip.
What is elastic cartilage?
This muscle tissue is striated but involuntar
What is cardiac muscle?
Prefix “osteo–” refers to this
What are bones?
The two structures that are found in the extracellular matrix of all connective tissues.
What are fibers and ground substance?
The type of epithelial tissue lining the urinary bladder.
What is transitional epithelium?
These cells live inside lacunae in cartilage
What are chondrocytes?
The main function of muscle tissue
What is movement?
All connective tissue develops from this type of stem cell
What is mesenchyme?
