sheetlike structure found throughout the body that perform special functions.

Front 13

matrix

Back 13

noncellular material in which cells can be embedded

Front 14

epithelial membrane

Back 14

posses a layer of epithelial tissue and a thin bottom layer of a specialized connective tissue

Front 15

epithelial membrane divided into 3 sections

Back 15

-cutaneous
-serous
-mucous

Front 16

cutaneous

Back 16

aka skin
main organ of the integumentary system
makes up 16% of total body weight

Front 17

serous

Back 17

two layered membrane with potential space in between
-parietal
-visceral

Front 18

parietal

Back 18

lines the wall of the ventral body cavities
also produces serous fluid, reduces friction between tissues and organs

Front 19

visceral

Back 19

wraps around the organs
also produces the serous fluid, reduces friction between tissues and organs

Front 20

mucous

Back 20

lines openings to the outside of the body,
named this because they contain special cells that produce mucus

Front 21

connective tissue

Back 21

holding things together provides structure and support, storing fluid and nutrients.

Front 22

connective tissue 4 subcategories

Back 22

-connective tissue proper
-cartilage
-bone
-blood

Front 23

connective tissue proper

Back 23

delicate webs of loose connective tissue that holds tissues and organs together

Front 24

cartilage

Back 24

had its cells embedded in tiny holes in a gelatinous matrix

Front 25

bone

Back 25

hardest if your tissues, cells live in holes called lacunae, the matrix is made of calcium and phosphate thus is very hard

Front 26

synovial

Back 26

is the membrane type associated with connective tissue

Front 27

synovial fluid

Back 27

found in the spaces between joints and produces slippery substance, reduces friction

Front 28

muscle tissue

Back 28

provides the means for movement by and within the body

Front 29

3 types of muscle tissue

Back 29

-skeletal
-cardiac
-smooth

Front 30

skeletal muscle

Back 30

striated, is attached to bones and causes movement by contracting and relaxing

Front 31

voluntary muscle

Back 31

conscious effort

Front 32

cardiac muscle

Back 32

found in the walls of the heart

Front 33

involuntary muscles

Back 33

subconscious movement

Front 34

smooth muscle

Back 34

forms the walls of hollow organs

Front 35

nervous tissue

Back 35

acts as arapid messenger service for the body

Front 36

nervous tissue 2 subcategories

Back 36

-neurons
-neuroglia

Front 37

neurons

Back 37

conductors of information

Front 38

neuroglia

Back 38

cells function as support cels

Front 39

dendrites

Back 39

branchlike formations that make up party of the neuron,
they receive sensory information

Front 40

axon

Back 40

trunklike shaped structure,
transports information away from the cell body

Front 41

meninges

Back 41

membranes associated with nervous tissue covering the brain and spinal cord

Front 42

fibroblasts

Back 42

cells that can develop into connective tissue

Front 43

vital organs

Back 43

organs you can not live without

Front 44

muscular system.

Back 44

responsible for getting you up and moving.

Front 45

integumentary system

Back 45

regulates the body temperature, and changes the diameter of blood vessel

Front 46

nervous system

Back 46

rapid messenger of the body that both receives and sends message for activities to occur

Front 47

sensations

Back 47

measurements of conditions that occur inside and out the body

Front 48

3 main function for nervous system

Back 48

sensory, processing and interpreting messages, and motor

Front 49

4 main part of the nervous system

Back 49

nerve cells, spinal cord and fluid, peripheral nerves, and the brain

Front 50

endocrine system

Back 50

release chemical substance called hormones, reguate the bodys metabolic process, regulate the fluid and the eletrolyte balances of the body

Front 51

cardiovascular system
