______ tissue covers body and lines body cavities |
epithelial |
|
epithelial tissue cells are packed closely together with little ________ |
matrix |
|
epitheal tissue are classified by the ____ and _____ of cells |
shape; arrangement |
|
______ is single layer of scalelike cells adapted for transport |
simple squamous epithelium |
|
____ are several layers of closely packed cells specializing in protection |
stratified squamous epithelium |
|
_____ are tall, column-like cells arranged in a single layer; contain mucus-producing gobley cells; specialized for absorption |
simple columnar epithelium |
|
_____ have up to 10 layers of roughly cuboidal cells that distort to squamous shape when stretched; found in body areas that stretch, such as urinary bladder |
stratified transitional epithelium |
|
____ is a single layer of distorted columnar cells; each cell touches basement membrane |
pseudostratified epithelium |
|
____ is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body, with many different types, appearances, and functions; relatively few cells in the intercellular matrix |
connective tissue |
|
_____ is a loose connective tissue that is fibrrous glue (fascia) that holds organs together; collagenous and elastic fibers, plus a variety of cell types |
areolar tissue |
|
____ is a type of connective tissue that aids in lipid storage, metabolism regulation; brown fat produces heat |
adipose (fat) tissue |
|
______ tissue is delicate net of collagen fibers, as in bone marrow |
reticular |
|
______tissue is bundles of strong collagen fibers; for example: tendons |
dense fibrous |
|
____ tissue matrix is calcified; functions as support and protection |
bone |
|
_____ tissue matrix is consistency of gristlelike gel; chondrocyte is the cell type |
cartilage |
|
_____ tissue matrix is fluid; functions are transportation and protection |
blood |
|
_______ muscle tissue attaches to bones; also called striated or voluntary; control is voluntary; striations apparent when viewed under microscope |
skeletal |
|
_____ muscle tissue also called striated involuntary; composes heart wall; ordinarily cannot control contractions |
cardiac |
|
____ muscle tissue also called non striated (visceral) or involntary; no cross striations; found in blood vessels and other tube-shaped organs |
smooth |
|
the function of _____ tissue is rapid communication between body structures and control of the body functions |
nervious |
|
_____ are conduction cells |
neurons |
|
___ carries nerve impulses away from the cell body |
axon (1) |
|
_____ carry nerve impulses toward the cell body |
dendrites (1 or more) |
|
____ are supportive and connecting cells |
glia (neuroglia) |
|
____ single layer of cubelike cells often specialized for secretory activity; may secrete into ducts, directly into blood, and on body surface |
simple cuboidal epithelium |
