Epithelial
What does this cover?
Body surface and organs, inner lining of body cavities and hollow organs
3 main functions
Generate forces, contract, provide movement
Spread apart, with A LOT of what?
Extracellular Matrix and ground substance
Where is Nervous Tissue found?
brain, spinal cord, nerves
Type of tissue that is multiple layers and cube shaped, lines ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas.
Stratified Cuboidal Epilthelial
Striated, branched, intercalated disc, only in the heart
Cardiac Muscle tissue
Name 3 fibers in CT, describe for an extra 50 pts
Collagen, Elastic and Reticular. (Collagen: thick threads of collagen protein, flexible, resist pulling, hold structures together) (Elastic:Composed of elastin, allows stretching, easily stretched and deformed) (Reticular: thin, delicate, collagen fibers)
2 major cells important for NT function
neurons, and neuroglia
Transitional Epithelial
Attach to bones, voluntary, striations, move head, neck and trunk
Skeletal Muscle Tissues
Name and describe the 2 CT proper
Loose CT and Dense CT. (Loose CT: areolar, adipose, reticular; RELATIVELY FAST REPAIR) (Dense CT: Collagen fibers, SLOWER DAMAGE REPAIR)
what is a neuron
Simple Columnar Epithelium
no striations, shorter, spindle shaped, involuntary
Smoothie muscle tissue
Most common cartilage? Describe it.
Hyaline cartilage; fine collagen fibers, ends of bones and joints, soft part of nose
function of neuroglia?
to support and bind nervous tissue, carry on phagocytosis, help growth
Appear to be stratified or layered but aren’t. Nuclei lay at different levels
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
How does your arm revert to its original position after contracting
Your muscles on the other side pull it back. (Pulls from other direction)
What is fibrocartilage?
tough, shock absorber, cushions knee bones
what would happen if the neurons were suddenly all gone?
girl idk discuss amongst group im tired
