Epithelial
The three shapes of epithelial cells
What is squamous, cuboidal, columnar
2 functions of adipose tissue
What are temperature regulation and energy storage
The type of muscle controlled voluntarily
What is skeletal muscle
Two types of cells found in nervous tissue
The definition of tissue
What is a group of cells with the same function
Type of epithelium found in the lining of blood vesels
What is simple squamous epithelium
The fiber-filled area around connective tissue cells (full name).
Extracellular matrix
Two locations of smooth muscle
What are walls of organs and blood vessels
The function of neuroglia
What is to support nerve cells and connect them to blood vessels
The name of the longest nerve
Two locations of columnar epithelium
What is the respiratory tract, stomach, intestines, and/or lining of uterus
The type of cartilage between the vertebrae of the spine.
What is fibrocartilage
The structure that gives some muscle types a striated appearance
What are sarcomeres
The long cell body in neurons
What is the axon
Type of cells intermingled with columnar epithelium that secrete mucus
What are goblet cells
The structural difference between tissue lining lungs and on skin
What is simple vs. stratefied
The function and location of areolar tissue
What is connecting skin to muscles and under the skin
The location of the stimulus that causes cardiac contractions
The chemicals that are released between neurons to transmit a message
What is a neurotransmitter
Three specific types of tissue found in blood vessels
What are blood (connective), smooth muscle, and simple squamous epithelium
Shapes formed in the gut by projections of columnar epithelium to increase surface area
What are microvilli
The type of bone tissue that forms concentric patterns around blood vessels
What is compact bone
The molecules responsible for muscle contraction
What are actin and myosin
What is neuroglia (do divide) and neurons (don't divide)
One distinguishing characteristic of each of the 4 tissue types
What is:
Epithelial: lacks blood cells, cells tightly packed, cells readily divide, on the border of inside/outside the body
Connective: Cells are far apart, have ECM
Muscle: Can contract
Nervous: Cells communicate with each other
