Functions And Locations Of Tissues

Front 1

main functions of connective tissue

Back 1

1.) storing energy (fat cells)
2.) transporting materials (blood)
3.) providing structure (bone)

Hint 1

there are three of them (S.T.P)

between layers of skin

Front 3

location of adipose

Back 3

body fat

Front 4

How is epithelial tissue classified?

Back 4

by shape

purpose of connective tissue

Back 5

binds and supports body parts

Front 6

How is connective tissue classified?

by cell types and matrix

Front 7

purpose of muscle tissue

Back 7

moves the body and parts

Front 8

How is muscle tissue classified?

Back 8

by function

Front 9

purpose of nervous tissue

Back 9

receives stimuli and conducts impulses

Front 10

location of hyaline

Back 10

nose, ends of long bones

Front 11

location of elastic

Back 11

outer ear

Front 12

fibrocartilage

Back 12

between vertebrae

Front 13

locations of skeletal muscle tissue

Back 13

skeletal muscles (abs, biceps, etc.)

Front 14

satellite cells

Back 14

special stem cells that are produced by skeletal muscle tissue; they mature into muscle fibers, allowing some degree of repair after muscle injury

Front 15

location of skeletal muscle tissue cell nucleus

Back 15

typically just inside the cell membrane (skeletal muscle tissue cells are multinucleate; can have as many as several hundred)

Front 16

intercalated discs

Back 16

regions where cardiocytes connect with one another; desmosomes or gap junctions that allow for the passage of ions between cells (helps coordinate contractions)

Front 17

pacemaker cells

Back 17

establishes a regular rate of contractions/ heart beat

Front 18

cardiocyte nucleus

Back 18

typically have a singular central nucleus (may have more

Front 19

smooth muscle nucleus

Back 19

cells always have a single, oval shaped nucleus

Front 20

locations of smooth muscle tissue

Back 20

walls of blood vessels; surrounding respiratory, circulatory, digestive and reproductive tracts

Front 21

peristalsis

Back 21

the involuntary movement of smooth muscle tissue

Front 22

transmembrane potential

Back 22

differences in ion concentration between the cell and its surrounding environment

Front 23

Where is 98% of the body's nervous tissue?

Back 23

the brain and spinal cord (other 2% in peripheral nervous system)

Front 24

the two basic types of nervous tissue cells

Back 24

neurons and neuoglis

Front 25

dendrites

Back 25

numerous projections from the cell body (neurons); receives electrical impulses from other neurons

Front 26

axon

Back 26

a single long (sometimes over a meter), slender extension that conducts the signals that are received by dendrites on neighboring neurons; also called nerve fibers

Front 27

functions of neuroglia

Back 27

1.) support and repair neural tissue
2.) supply nutrients

Front 28

location of epithelial tissue (general)

Back 28

covers body surfaces and lines body cavities

Front 29

epithelia

Back 29

one of the two main types of epithelial tissue; layers of cells that cover internal or external surfaces

Front 30

location of epithelial tissue (general)

Back 30

covers body surfaces and lines body cavities

Front 31

glands (epithelial)

Back 31

one of the two main types of epithelial tissue; specialized cells that produce fluid secretions

Front 32

How are the cells in epithelial tissue bound together

Back 32

by cell junctions (communications); unlike connective tissue which is separated by the matrix

Front 33

main function of epithelial tissue

Back 33

offers protection against environmental hazards and physical stresses

Front 34

location of simple squamous

Back 34

lining of heart and lungs

Front 35

locations of stratified squamous

Back 35

skin, beginning and end of digestive tract

Front 36

locations of simple cuboidal

Back 36

glands and kidneys

Front 37

location of stratified cuboidal

Back 37

(rare)
sweat glands

Front 38

locations of simple columnar

Back 38

lining of stomach and intestines; kidneys

Front 39

locations of stratified columnar

Back 39

(rare)
parts of respiratory tract and some glands

Front 40

locations of pseudostratified columnar

Back 40

usually ciliated; respiratory tract and lungs

Front 41

endocrine glands

Back 41

produce and release hormones into the body
(thyroid and pituitary glands)

Front 42

exocrine glands

Back 42

release secretions from the body
(sweat glands, tear ducts, and mammary glands)

Front 43

tight junctions (not location)

Back 43

proteins on adjacent cells join to form an impermeable barrier between the cells' plasma membrane

Front 44

location of tight junction

Back 44

digestive tract

Front 45

gap junctions (not location)

Back 45

channels between cells allow molecules to pass between them

Front 46

location of gap junctions

Back 46

muscles

Front 47

desmosomes (w/ location)

Back 47

durable interconnections between cells that allow for stretching
(the skin)
