Ch.4 Tissue And Membranes

Front 1

Tissue

Back 1

A group of fully specialized cells that perform similar functions.

Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

Front 2

Epithelial tissue

Back 2

Covers the surfaces of the body, lines body cavities, and covers organs. And forms the secretory portions of the glands.

Front 3

Connective tissue

Back 3

Binds organs together and provides protection and support for organs

Front 4

Muscle tissue

Back 4

Cells are specialized for contraction

Front 5

Nervous tissue

Back 5

Tissue that forms the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

Front 6

Serous membrane

Back 6

Epithelial membrane that lines the external surfaces of organs and the body wall in the central cavity.

Front 7

Mucous membrane

Back 7

Epithelial membrane that lines tubes and cavities that have openings to the external environment

Front 8

Matrix

Back 8

Extracellular substance in connective tissue

Front 9

Fibroblast

Back 9

A cell that produces fiber and ground substance in connective tissue

Front 10

Cartilage

Back 10

A connective tissue with a relatively rigid semisolid matrix

Front 11

Bone

Back 11

A hard connective tissue with a rigid matrix of calcium salts and fibers.

Front 12

Adipose tissue

Back 12

A connective tissue that stores fat

Front 13

Exocrine gland

Back 13

Have ducts that carry their secretions to specific areas

Front 14

Endocrine glands

Back 14

Lack ducts, their secretions calls hormones, are Carrie's by the blood supply to organs within the body to regulate their funtion

Front 15

Simple epithelium

Back 15

Single layer of cells

Front 16

Stratified epithelium

Back 16

Multiple layers of cells

Front 17

Fibroblasts

Back 17

Most common cell. Responsible for producing the ground substance and protein fibers

Front 18

Matrix

Back 18

A large amount of extracellular substance produced by cells. Composed of ground substance and protein fibers. Used to classify connective tissue

Front 19

Adipose tissue

Back 19

Large accumulation of fat cells
