| Tissue | a group of cells performing a specialized structural or functional role. |
| epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous | Name the four major types of tissue found in the human body. |
| Simple squamous epithelium | Found in the walls of capillaries; it functions to allow the exchange of oxygen and waste products between the blood and the cells. |
| Simple cuboidal epithelium | Found in kidney tubules; it functions |
| Simple columnar epithelium | Found in the intestinal tract; it functions in secretion of digestive fluids and absorption of nutrient molecules. |
| Psuedostratified columnar epithelium | Found in the passages of the respiratory system; the ciliated free surface moves the mucous produced by goblet cells up the respiratory |
| Stratified squamous epithelium | Forming the outer layer of the skin (epidermis); it becomes hardened with keratin and makes a tough, dry, protective covering. |
| Stratified cuboidal epithelium | Found in the larger ducts of salivary glands; it provides extra protection. |
| Stratified columnar epithelium | Found in the male urethra; the goblet cells provide mucous for lubrication. |
| Transitional epithelium | Forming the inner lining of the urinary bladder; because of its stretchable nature, it forms a barrier that prevents the contents of the urinary tract from diffusing back into the body fluids. |
| Glandular epithelium | composed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids |
| simple cuboidal, simple columnar, simple squamous | three types of epithelial cell that functions in absorption |
| simple squamous | type of epithelial cells that line capillaries. Function in exchange of oxygen and wastes |
| simple cuboidal | type of epithelial cells found in kidney tubules. Function in secretion and absorption |
| simple columnar | type of epithelial cells found in intestinal tract. Functions in secretion of digestive fluids |
| ciliated pseudostratified columnar | type of epithelial cell found in passages of respiratory system. functions to move mucous up respiratory tract |
| stratified squamous epithelium | type of epithelial cell found on outer layer of skin - function protection |
| transitional | type of epithelial cell found in inner lining of the urinary bladder - function protection keeps contents from diffusing back into the body fluids |
| fibroblast | type of connective cell, fixed cell in connective tissue that produces fibers by secreting protein into the matrix of connective tissue |
| collagen connective tissue | fibers that are thick, threadlike, and made of protein - long parallel bundles, flexible but not elastic - like tendons |
| Elastin | connective tissue that is made of elastic fibers - branched and form complex networks - return to original shape |
| Vocal cords in one place | where in the body are elastin fibers found? |
| areolar | another name for loose connective tissue |
| Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage | name the three types of cartilage |
| hyaline | type of cartilage found on end of long bones and in many joints |
| hyaline | cartilage that makes up the soft part of the nose |
| hyaline | cartilage that is important in the development of bones in infants and youth |
| elastic | type of cartilage found in external ears and parts of larynx |
| fibrocartilage | type of cartilage that forms intervertebral disks |
| Red Blood Cells | connective tissue cells of the blood that carry oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away |
| White Blood Cells | type of connective tissue with cells that function in immunity and control infection |
| contractile | characteristic of muscle tissue that makes it different from epithelial, connective, and nerve tissue |
| skeletal muscle cell | types of muscle cells with long cells with striations and many nuclei |
| cardiac muscle cell | types of muscle cells shortened cells with one nucleus and striations |
| cardiac muscle cell | types of muscle cells with intercalated discs connecting to the next cell |
| skeletal and cardiac muscle cell | types of muscle cells with alternating bands of light and dark striations |
| smooth muscle tissue | type of muscle cell that lacks striations |
| smooth muscle tissue | types of muscle cell that lines most hollow organs in body |
| smooth and cardiac muscle tissue | involuntary muscle cell types |
| smooth muscle cells | type of muscle cells found in intestinal tract, urinary bladder, and blood vessels |
| cardiac muscle cells | type of muscle cells found only in heart |
| cardiac muscle cells | type of muscle cells that are branched and have one nucleus |
| nervous tissue cells | type of cells found in the brain and spinal cord |
| neuroglial cells | nerve cells that act in a supporting fashion |
| epithelial tissue | covers organs, forms inner lining of body cavities, lines hollow organs |
| simple squamous epithelium | single layer of flattened cells |
| simple cuboidal epithelium | single layer of cube-shaped cells |
| simple columnar epithelium | single layer of elongated cells |
| pseudostratified columnar epithelium | appears to be many layers, but only one layer of elongated cells |
| stratified squamous epithelium | many layers, top cells flattened |
| stratified cuboidal epithelium | 2-3 layers of cube-shaped cells |
| stratified columnar epithelium | top layer of elongated cells, lower layers cube-shaped |
| transitional epithelium | many layers of cube-shaped and elongated cells; change shape |
| ligament | type of dense connective tissue; binds bone to bone |
| tendon | type of dense connective tissue; binds muscle to bone |
| dense connective tissue | tendons, ligaments, dermis |
| hyaline cartilage | ends of bones, nose, and rings in walls of respiratory passages |
| elastic cartilage | external ear, part of larynx |
| fibrocartilage | between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle, knee |
| blood | within blood vessels |
| fibroblast | large star-shaped cell; secretes proteins that become fibers |
| skeletal muscle | voluntary, striated, multinucleate muscle tissue |
| cardiac muscle | involuntary, striated, branched muscle tissue |
| smooth muscle | involuntary, spindle-shaped, branched muscle tissue |
| neuron | transmits nerve impulses, communicates w/ other neurons, coordinate, integrate, regulate body functions |
| neuroglial cells | supply nutrients to neurons by connecting them to blood vessels, bind nervous tissue together, phagocytosis |
| connective tissues | tissues which bind structures, provide support and protection, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells protect against infections, help repair tissue damage |
| adipose connective tissue | tissue which stores fat |
| connective tissue | tissue which helps repair tissue damage |
| simple squamous epithelium | type of epithelial tissue whose function is to carry out diffusion |
| simple squamous epithelium | epithelial tissue whose location is lining the walls of capillaries and air sacs of the lungs |
| simple cuboidal epithelium | epithelial tissue whose location is lining kidney tubules |
