Tissue 101
Groups of these that are similar in structure and function are collective known as tissue.
What are cells?
Epithelial tissue is known to protect the body from _______ and __________.
What is sunlight and disease(disease causing bacteria)?
These attach muscle to bones?
What are tendons?
This tissue makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
What is nervous tissue?
These thin sheets of tissue cover surfaces, line body cavities, and surround organs.
What are membranes?
This is the study of tissues.
What is histology?
These three terms describe epithelial cells according to their shape.
What are squamous, cuboidal, and columnar?
This substance surrounds connective tissue cells and can be solid, rubbery, gel-like, or liquid.
What is the intercellular matrix?
These are the two major types of cells found in nervous tissue.
What are neurons and neuroglia?
The part of the membrane that covers the outside of an organ is known as the _______ layer
What is the visceral?
These are the four major types of tissue found in the body.
What are epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle tissues?
Epithelium consisting of a single layer of cells is described by this term.
What is simple epithelium?
These three types of immature connective tissue cells produce the matrix characteristic of their tissues.
What are fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts?
These cells receive information from other neurons, while this part of the neuron transmits information away from the cell body.
What are the dendrites and axon?
These membranes line body cavities that open to the exterior, including the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts.
What are mucous membranes?
This tissue type is primarily concerned with protection and transport and also forms glands that secrete substances.
What is epithelial tissue?
This type of epithelium has multiple layers and provides greater protection in areas exposed to everyday wear and tear.
What is stratified epithelium?
This is word beginning with "F" covers supports and anchors organs to nearby structures.
What is fascia?
These are the three types of muscle tissue.
What are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle?
This process replaces injured tissue with cells identical to the original cells and occurs in tissues whose cells undergo mitosis.
What is regeneration?
One type of tissue connects and binds body structures, one protects and transports substances across surfaces, one transmits information, and one produces movement by contracting. These four functions represent the four major tissue types.
What are connective, epithelial, nervous, and muscle tissues?
This epithelial tissue is found primarily in organs that need to stretch, such as the urinary bladder, changing its appearance as the organ stretches.
What is transitional epithelium?
This connective tissue has a liquid intercellular matrix called plasma, while another has a liquid matrix found in lymphatic vessels.
What are blood and lymph?
This type of tissue repair replaces injured tissue with fibrous connective tissue, or scar tissue, rather than identical replacement cells.
What is fibrosis?
A patient confined to a bed develops an ulcer over the heel because body weight has compressed blood vessels and cut off the tissue's blood supply. This type of ulcer is described in the chapter as this.
What is a decubitus ulcer (pressure ulcer/bedsore)?
