| Desmosomes | (Ligament body) Cell membranes are locked together by intercellular cement in a network of protein filaments. |
| Elastic Cartilage | Extremely resistance and flexible ears and the epiglottis. |
| Elastic Fibers | Long branched connective tissue fibers that will stretch and then return to their original shape. |
| Epithelium | Layers that cover expose internal or external surfaces. |
| Epithelial Tissue | Layers of cells that cover internal and external surfaces. |
| Fibroblasts | Responsible for the production and maintenance of connective tissues and groundmass. |
| Fibrocartilage | Contains little ground mass tightly woven to make it both durable and strong. This is the padding that is found in joint-joint connections. |
| Fluid Connective Tissues | Have a number of cells suspended in a watery groundmass that contains dissolved proteins. |
| Gap Junctions | Two cells that are connected by interlocking protein membranes. These are channel proteins that allow materials though. |
| Gland Cells | These are secreting cells of the epithelial tissue layer. |
| Ground Substance | A fluid that varies in consistency. |
| Holocrine Secretion | The entire cell becomes full of secretions materials and dies and bursts. |
| Hyaline Cartilage | Tough and somewhat flexible tissue found in ribs. |
| Infection | An inflammation as a result to a pathogen within a tissue level. |
| Inflammation | Is the body’s method of cutting off damaged cells so that they can be repaired. |
| Ligaments | Dense connective tissues that connect bone to bone. |
| Loose Connective Tissue | Least specialized connective tissue but carries a large among of cells and blood. Found between the epithelial layer and muscle. |
| Lymph | Connective tissues that contain distinctive collects of cells with in a fluid matrix. |
| Macrophage | Engulf damaged cells or pathogens and release chemicals that mobilize the immune system. |
| Mast Cells | Mobil cells that are found near blood vesicle and release defensive materials into the body. |
| Merocrine Secretion | The product is released through Exocytosis from vesicles. |
| Mucous Membrane | A line cavity that communicates with interior systems. |
| Muscle Tissue | Specialize materials used in contractions. |
| Neural Tissue | Specialized cells that conduct electrical impulses from one end of the body to the other. |
| Neuroglia | Neural supporting material. |
| Neuron | A cell that is used for the communication of impulses. |
| Osteocyte | Bone cells |
| Periosteum | The covering of the bones that is created by fibrous and intercellular materials. |
| Pericardium | The serous membrane that lines the heart cavity. |
| Peritoneum | Serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. |
| Platelets | Cell fragments that are used in the clotting of blood. |
| Plasma | The fluid matrix that makes up blood. |
| Pleura | Serous membrane that lines the lung cavity. |
| Pseudostratifed Columnar Epithelium | Because the nuclei are place in different parts of the cells they look stratified, however they are still connecting to the base layer. These tissues will have cilia. |
| Red Blood Cells | Accounts for half the volume of blood and transports oxygen to the body. |
| Regeneration | The process which cells replace dead or damaged cells. |
| Reticular Fibers | Long branchy connective tissue fibers that interweave among organs. |
| Serous Membrane | Line to sealed internal cavities of the ventral body cavities. |
| Simple Epithelium | A single layer of epithelial cells that cover the basement membrane. |
| Skeletal Muscle Tissue | Muscle tissue used to move bones though voluntary movement. |
| Smooth Muscle Tissue | Found in digestive and blood vessels and is controlled involuntary. |
| Squamous Epithelium | Cells that are flat scale like cells that look like fried eggs. These cells are found in the protection aspect of the epithelia. |
| Stem Cells | Unspecialized cells that continually divide to replace lost cells. For the epithelial cells they are found in the basement membrane. |
| Stratified Epithelial | Several layers of cells that cover the basement level providing more protection. |
| Stratified Squamous Epithelia | Found where the mechanical stresses are severe. |
| Supporting Connective Tissues | A closely packed fiber material with a dense matrix of closely packed fibers. |
| Synovial Membrane | Joints that are allowed free movement because of this fibrous capsule. |
| Tendons | Cords of dense connective tissues that connect bones to muscles. |
| Tight Junction | Outer layer of epithelial cells that are connected in an interlocking fashion and tightly bound. |
| Tissue | Collection of specialized cells that perform a specific function. |
| Transitional Epithelia | Can with stand incredible stretching. Not really layered however when no stretched they look stratified because of the grouping. |
| White Blood Cells | Important parts of the immune system. |
