What are the 4 types of tissues are there?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What is the job of nervous tissues?
They conduct electrical signals
OR
They control the body.
Name the one type of tissue that does its job by shortening its cells.
Muscular tissues, this is known as muscle contraction.
This tissue type lines the outside of the body and body cavities internally. It also lines organs, ducts and glands.
Epithelial Tissue
List three functions of connective tissue.
Provides support and protection, serves as frameworks within the body, fills spaces, stores fat, makes blood cells, protects against infections and helps repair tissue damage.
A group of cells that share a common function.
Tissue
What is a neuron?
A nerve cell.
Which muscles are under voluntary control?
Skeletal
By the shape and number of layers of the tissue.
A rigid connective tissue that provides support, attachments and cushion.
It's formed around chondrocytes.
Cartilage
Why does cartilage heal slower than other tissues?
Avascular - blood transfers nutrients for healing
Name one structure in the body where nervous tissues are found:
Where is each type of muscle found?
Cardiac - In the heart!
Smooth - blood vessels and around hollow organs
Skeletal - attached to bones
Name this type of epithelial tissue .
Transitional
What are the three types of connective tissue and at least one example of each?
Connective tissue proper - adipose, etc.
Fluid CT - Lymph and blood
Supporting - cartilage and bone
Name a function of each type of tissue.
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous Tissue (will vary)
Cells that support neurons.
Neuroglia
What are characteristics of striations and nuclei with each type of muscle?
Skeletal - striated, multinuclei
Cardiac - striated, single nuclei
Smooth - nonstriated, single nuclei
This type of epithelium lines kidney tubules.
Simple Cuboidal
What does the matrix consist of and what are the four types?
Protein fibers and ground substance, gelatinous, fibrous, fluid, and calcified
Name the four membranes found in body tissue and at least one of their locations.
Mucous - lines urinary, digestive, and respiratory tracts (things that communicate with outside)
Serous - lines ventral cavity (pleura - lungs, peritoneum - abdominal, pericardium - heart)
Cutaneous - skin
Synovial - bone articulations - knee, elbow
Which part of the neuron communicates with other cells? other neurons?
axon terminal, dendrites
Cardiac muscle cells are joined by desmosomes and gap junctions. What is the difference of these?
Desmosomes - durable, web like, can stretch and twist
Gap junctions - tubular channels, rapid communication
This type of epithelium lines the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, uterine tubes, and collecting ducts of kidneys.
Simple Columnar Epithelium.
These are the least common type of connective tissue fibers.
reticular fibers
