Connective Tissue or Muscle Tissue
List all muscle tissues
Cardiac, Skeleton, Smooth
Function of the skin
Protection, Immunity, Elimination of waste, Temperature regulation, Production of Vitamin D.
Structures of a Neuron
Soma (cell body)
Dentrites
Axons
Glial cells
This type of epithelium consists of a single layer of flat cells and is specialized for diffusion and filtration.
simple squamous epithelium
this muscle type is found in the walls of organs and is involuntary.
Extra credit: This type of muscle tissue is voluntary and striated.
Smooth Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
True or False: Stratum Lucidum is found in thin skin
False, only in thick skin
This type of cartilage is found in the nose, trachea, and at the ends of long bones and cartilage lacks this vital system, making healing slower.
Hyaline Cartilage. Blood supply
Unlike simple epithelium, stratified epithelium has multiple layers and is primarily designed for this function.

What does blood connective tissue do?
This specialized connective tissue transports nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body.
What are the two structures of the dermis and what Connective tissue you can find.
Papillary Layer - Areolar CT
Reticular Region - Dense Irregular CT
What separates epithelial tissues from connective tissue
Basement membrane
This type of epithelial tissue is found in kidney tubules and is specialized for secretion and absorption.
simple cuboidal epithelium
What is the function of Adipose tissue?
fat storage (lipid storage)
What are the specialized cells of the epidermis and their function.
1.Keratinocytes: These produce keratin, a structural protein that provides strength and waterproofing to the skin.
2. Melanocytes: Produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color and protection against UV radiation.
3. Langerhans Cells: Help fight infection
4. Merkel Cells: Provide sensory information related to touch
What is a goblet cell?
Mucus-secreting unicellular gland found between columnar epithelial cells of mucous membrane
Found in the respiratory tract, this epithelium contains hair-like structures called cilia to help move mucus
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
List all types of Proper, Supportive and Fluid Connective Tissue.
11 total!
Proper Loose: Adipose, Areolar, Reticular. Proper Dense: Irregular, Regular, Elastic.
Supportive: Bone. Cartilage: Elastic, Hyaline, Fibrous.
Fluid: Blood
What are the layers of the epidermis from deepest to most superficial.
Extra credit: what layer is only found in thick skin?
Stratum Basale, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum.
Stratum Lucidum
List all ET and location
Simple Squamous - Alveoli of the lungs.
Stratified Squamous - Mouth, Skin
Simple Cuboidal - Kidneys
Stratified Cuboidal- Sweat glands, salivary glands
Simple Columnar - Digestive Tract
Stratified Columnar - Salivary glands, Reproductive Tract
Simple Columnar Ciliated - Bronchi, uterine tubes and uterus
Pseudostratified Columnar - Trachea and much of the respiratory system.
Transitional - Bladder
This specialized epithelium lines the bladder and is capable of stretching to accommodate urine storage.
