Types of Tissue
This term is used to describe a group of cells found together in the body.
What is tissue?
This tissue is highly cellular, with little or no extracellular material present between cells.
What is epithelia?
This is the most important function of connective tissue.
What is support and connect other tissues?
Three types of muscle tissue classified by structure and function.
What are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth?
The two main classes of cells that make up nervous tissue.
What are the neuron and the neuroglia?
The microscopic study of tissue appearance, organization, and functions.
What is histology?
Glandular epithelium contains this.
What is secretory cells?
All connective tissue derives from this layer of the embryo.
What is the mesodermal?
Function of the cardiac muscle.
What is contracts to pump blood?
Electrochemical impulses which are biochemically linked to the release of chemical signals.
What are action potentials?
These are the four types of tissue.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous?
These are microscopic extensions of the apical cell membrane.
What are cilia?
Fluid connective tissue includes these.
What are blood and lymph?
Location of smooth muscle.
What is walls of major organs and passageways?
Myelin is produced in these cells in the peripheral nervous system.
What are Schwann Cells?
This germ layer gives rise to skin cells, neurons, and pigment cells.
What is the ectoderm?
The three basic types of connections that allow varying degrees of interaction between cells.
What are tight junctions, anchoring junctions, and gap junctions?
Cells that store lipids as droplets that fill most of the cytoplasm.
What are adipocytes?
The function of this tissue is voluntary movement, produces heat, and protects organs.
What is skeletal muscle tissue?
The gap between nerve cells, or between a nerve cell and its target.
Wha is the synapse?
The two broad categories of tissue membranes.
What are connective tissue membranes and epithelial membranes?
This is how we classify epithelial tissues.
What is according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed.
The three main types of fibers secreted by the fibroblasts.
What are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers?
These cells are excitable; respond to stimuli.
What are muscle cells?
These are the three main parts of a neuron.
What are the cell body, the organelles, and the nucleus?
