Epithelial Tissue
Three main cell shapes.
What are squamous, cuboidal, and columnar?
Does every type of connective tissue have the same amount of blood flow?
No
Three types of muscle tissue.
What are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle?
Primary function of nervous tissue.
The 4 major types of tissue.
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Two characteristics are used to classify epithelial tissue.
What are cell shape and number of cell layers?
Two components make up the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.
What are fibers and ground substance?
Type of muscle tissue that is voluntary, striated, and multinucleated.
What is skeletal muscle?
Two properties allow nervous tissue to perform its function.
What are high excitability and conductivity?
Why does pseudostratified epithelium appear to have multiple layers?
What is its cells are arranged so that it appears multilayered, although all cells contact the basement membrane?
How does simple epithelium differ from stratified epithelium?
Simple epithelium has one layer of cells. Stratified epithelium has more than one layer.
Identify 4 types of connective tissue.
What are adipose, blood, bone, areolar, reticular, dense regular, dense irregular, elastic connective, cartilage?
Type of muscle tissue that is non-striated and found in hollow digestive organs.
What is smooth muscle?
Three locations nervous tissue is found.
What are brain, spinal cord, and nerves?
Where is epithelial tissue typically located?
What is at body boundaries, including coverings and linings?
This structure anchors epithelial cells.
What is the basement membrane?
Embryonic tissue from which connective tissue develops.
What is mesenchyme?
Type of muscle tissue that is striated, involuntary, branched, and found in the heart.
What is cardiac muscle?
The two types of cells in nervous tissue.
What are neurons and neuroglia cells?
Name the three epithelial cell shapes and describe their shapes.
What are squamous cells are flat and scalelike; cuboidal cells are cube-shaped; columnar cells are column-shaped?
Three main functions of epithelial tissue.
What are absorption, secretion, and protection?
The main functions of connective tissue.
Connecting, supporting, and binding other tissues.
Two structural features that help distinguish cardiac muscle from skeletal muscle.
Five parts of the neuron as labels in your diagram.
What are dendrites, cell body, axon, myelin sheath, and axon terminals?
Which tissue type is affected by Marfan syndrome, and what joint characteristic may people with this disorder have?
What is connective tissue? People with the disorder may have loose, flexible joints.
