Front 9

Four basic tissue types in humans

Back 9

Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous

Front 10

Epithelial Tissue functions:

Back 10

Provide covering (skin tissue) or produce secretions (glandular tissue)

Front 11

Epithelial Tissue does these things:

Back 11

Exist in sheets and doesn't have its own blood supply.
Dependent on diffusion from nearby capillaries for food and oxygen.
Can regenerate

Front 12

Simple epithelium

Back 12

One layer of cells.
Found in body structures where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur.

Front 13

Stratified epithelium

Back 13

More than one layer of cells and protects.

Front 14

Three shapes of epithelial cells

Back 14

Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar

Front 15

Types of connective tissue

Back 15

Bone
Cartilage
Adipose (fat)
Blood vessel

Front 16

Three types of muscle tissue

Back 16

Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth

Front 17

Skeletal muscle

Back 17

Supports voluntary movement and is consciously controlled by the brain.

Front 18

Smooth muscle

Back 18

Involuntary control and found in intestines, blood vessels, bladder, and uterus.

Front 19

Cardiac muscle

Back 19

Involuntary and is only found in the heart.

Front 20

Nervous tissue

Back 20

Provides structure for the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Front 21

Nerves are made up of

Back 21

Neurons, myelin, and help protect nervous tissue.

Front 22

Digestive System

Back 22

This system breaks down food so that the nutrients can be easily passed into the blood and circulated throughout the body.

Front 23

Lymphatic System

Back 23

This system helps cleanse the blood and houses the white blood cells that are involved in protecting the body from environmental pathogens.

Front 24

Urinary System

Back 24

This system helps maintain the water and electrolyte balance within the body, regulates the acid-base balance in the blood, and removes all nitrogen-containing waste from the body.

Front 25

Respiratory System

Back 25

This system keeps all the cells in the body supplied with oxygen and removes the carbon dioxide.

Front 26

Muscular System

Back 26

This system produces movement through contractions.

Front 27

Reproductive System

Back 27

This system produces offspring.

Front 28

Integumentary System

Back 28

This system protects internal tissues from injury, waterproofs the body, and helps regulate body temperature. This system also serves as a barrier to foreign substances.

Front 29

Skeletal System

Back 29

This system provides support and protection for the body, supplies a framework used to create movement, and serves as storage for minerals, such as calcium.

Front 30

Nervous System

Back 30

This system acts as the body's control system and is necessary to protect the body from changes in the internal and external environment.

Front 31

Endocrine System

Back 31

This system controls body functions.

Front 32

Circulatory System

Back 32

This system works as the transportation system for substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients.
