| Tissues | a combination of many specialized cells to carry out specific functions within the body |
| Histology | is the study of tissues |
| Epithelial Tissue | a tissue made up of cells held closely together and which cover or line the body & organs & cavities & mostly serve a protective function |
| Squamous | describes a cell that is shaped thin and flat |
| Cuboidal | describes a cell that is shaped square |
| Columnar | describes a cell that is shaped taller than wide |
| Simple | when an epithelial tissue contains one layer of cells |
| Stratified | when an epithelial tissue contains many layers of cells |
| Pseudostratified | when an epithelial tissue seems to contain more than one layer of cells |
| Cilia | extracellular modification of hair-like structure used to move substances around the cell |
| Microvilli | a cellular modification of small thin projections that increases surface area for absorption |
| Simple epithelium | a type of epithelial tissue that usually is used by tissues that have a function of absorption |
| Stratified epithelium | a type of epithelial tissue that usually is used by tissues that function as a passage way |
| Simple squamous | a type of epithelial tissue that can be found lining the inside of the alveoli sacs in the lung |
| Simple cuboidal | a type of epithelial tissue that can be found lining the ducts of glands |
| Simple columnar | a type of epithelial tissue that can be found lining the stomach |
| Stratified squamous | a type of epithelial tissue that can be found lining the esophagus |
| Pseudostratified columnar | a type of epithelial tissue that can be found lining the respiratory tract |
| Exocrine gland | secretes substances via a duct |
| Endocrine gland | are ductless and are considered part of the Endocrine system |
| Connective tissue | a tissue in which cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix containing fluid and or fibers |
| Blood | a type of connective tissue that is contains plasma and cells |
| Lymph | a type of connective tissue that is contains interstitial fluid |
| Cartilage | a type of connective tissue that can absorb shock and contains collagen proteins |
| Bone | a type of connective tissue that is used for structure and contains calcium and phosphate salts in addition to collagen proteins |
| Loose connective tissue | a type of connective tissue in which the extracellular matrix contains more cells than fibers to give it a more cushioning function |
| Dense connective tissue | a type of connective tissue in which the extracellular matrix contains more fibers than cells and is found in tendons and ligaments |
| Muscle tissue | a tissue that has ability to contract |
| Skeletal Muscle | is striated & connects bones to bones and is voluntarily controlled |
| Cardiac Muscle | is found only in the heart & is striated & the cells are connected by Intercalated discs |
| Smooth Muscle | is found surrounding hollow organs |
| Nervous Tissue | contains cells that have the ability to conduct electrical impulses |
| Cell body | the part of the neuron where nucleus and organelles are found |
| Dendrites | the cytoplasmic extensions which receive signals |
| Axons | the long cytoplasmic extension which transmits signals away from dendrites & can be covered in myelin |
