Which type of connective tissue specializes in the storage of fat?
Adipose tissue
100
The cell body of a neuron is called the ___ – it contains the nucleus and its organelles.
soma
200
The (apical/basal) side is the exposed side of the cell whereas the (apical/basal) surface is attached to underlying body structures.
apical, basal
200
Which type of epithelial cells absorbs nutrients in the digestive tract?
Pseudostratified columnar with villi
200
___ muscle is responsible for involuntary movements in the internal organs such as the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Smooth
200
____ connective tissue, which includes the blood and lymph, contains specialized cells that allows for the transport of fluid, nutrients, waste, and chemical messengers.
Fluid
200
The tail, called the axon, extends from the neuron body and can be wrapped in a ___, which accelerates the transmission of the impulse.
myelin sheath
300
These epithelia are active in the secretion and absorption of molecules, which can either support the endocrine or exocrine functions of the body.
Simple Cuboidal
**Bonus: what is the difference between exocrine and endocrine?
300
In observing cells under a microscope, the cells are arranged in a single layer and look tall and narrow with the nucleus located close to the basal side of the cell. What type of epithelial tissue is this describing?
Simple columnar
300
These types of cells contract on their own intrinsic rhythms without external stimulation.
Cardiac
300
____ tissue is more mesh-like and acts as a supportive framework for soft organs such as lymphatic tissue
Reticular
300
Myelin is produced by ____ cells in the periphery and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.
Schwann
400
Of the serous membranes, there are two layers - those that cover the organs themselves are the (visceral/parietal) layers while those that line the cavity are the (visceral/parietal) layers.
visceral, parietal
400
Which type of epithelial cell is used in places needing protection from scrapes and abrasions such as the skin and esophagus?
Stratified squamous
400
What am I?
Cardiac muscle
400
The ____ is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels.
Pericaridum
**Bonus: It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong connective tissue (___ pericardium), and an inner layer made of serous membrane (___ pericardium).
400
What is the function of neuroglia?
Neuroglia are non-neuronal cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (oligodendrocytes), and provide support and protection for neurons.
500
The _____ membrane lines the body cavities and hollow passageways that are open to the external environment including the digestive system, respiratory system, excretory system, and reproductive tracts.
mucous
500
Which type of epithelial tissue stretches and is found in the bladder and other urinary organs?
Transitional
500
Striations are repeating units of __ and ____ filaments, the two proteins that allow for muscle contraction.
actin and myosin
500
____ are large multinucleated cells that are involved in the absorption and removal of bone, particularly dissolving the fibers and the matrix of bone.
Osteoclasts
500
The axonal terminals are specialized to release the transmitter substances into a gap called the ___, which is the gap between the terminals and the dendrites of the next neuron.
synaptic cleft
