Connective
Matrix of connective tissue
What is intercellular material
Epithelial, connective, nervous, & muscle
What are the four major types of tissues in the body.
The underside of epithelial tissue is anchored by a
What is a basement membrane.
tissue that is used for movement and produce heat
muscle tissue
tiny cylindrical processes extending from the free surfaces; function to increase the surface area of an epithelium.
microvilli
consists of fibers and a ground substance.
What is matrix
These are organized into layers or tissues.
What are cells
Epithelial tissue always has a
What is free surface.
cells that support impulse conduction
neuroglial
fibers have great tensile strength
What are collagenous fibers
is located beneath most layer of epithelium, in thin membranes throughout the body, beneath skin, and between muscles.
What is loose connective tissue
These are needed to make up organs.
What are tissues.
alveoli of lungs and walls capillaries
What is simple squamous epithilial
involuntary, spindle shaped
smooth muscle
specialized to carry out phagocytosis
What are macrophages
consists of many closely packed, thick, collagenous fibers, a fine network of elastic fibers, and a few cells, most of which are fibroblasts
What is dense connective tissue
covers the body surface and organs, forms glandular tissues and lines internal organs
What is epithelium.
accumulates keratin, is located as the outermost layer of skin.
What is stratified squamous epithilium
distinguishing feature of cardiac cells
intercalated discs
cell that produces mucus
goblet cells
provides support, frameworks, attachments, protects underlying tissues, and forms structural models for many developing bones.
What is cartilage
function to bind structures, provide support and protect, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infections, and help repair tissue damage.
What is connective tissue.
forms the lining of the urinary bladder, the ureters, and part of the urethra
What is transitional epithilium.
long extension found on neuron
axon
Because epithelial tissue cells __________________, its injuries heal rapidly
