Human Tissues Ch. 4 Of Tortora

Front 1

Covers body surfaces; lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts (tubes); and forms glands.

Back 1

Epithelial tissue

Front 2

Protects and supports body and its organs, binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat, provides immunity.

Back 2

Connective tissue

Front 3

Generates physical force needed to make body structures move.

Back 3

Muscular tissue

Front 4

Detects changes inside, outside body, initiates and transmits nerve impulses (action potentials) that coordinate body activities to help maintain homeostasis

Back 4

Nervous tissue

Front 5

Points of contact between plasma membranes of cells. Tightly join epithelial and some muscle and nerve cells into functioning units.

Back 5

Cell junctions

Front 6

Name the epithelial tissue:
Lines the mouth and protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.

Back 6

Stratified squamous tissue
(keratinized or non-keratinized)

Front 7

Name the epithelial tissue:
Located in the alveoli (lung air sacs) and allow for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Back 7

Simple squamous

Front 8

Name the epithelial tissue:
Forms kidney tubules and is involved in absorption and secretion.

Back 8

Simple cuboidal

Front 9

Name the epithelial tissue:
Lines nasal cavities and upper airways, and moves substances over the epithelial surface.

Back 9

Ciliated simple columnar

Front 10

Name the epithelial tissue:
Forms the mesothelium of the peritoneum and endothelial cells of the blood vessels.

Back 10

Simple squamous

Front 11

Name the epithelial tissue:
Lines the stomach and small intestines, functions in secretion and absorption.

Back 11

Nonciliated simple columnar

Front 12

Name the epithelial tissue:
Lines the bladder and ureters.

Back 12

Simple transitional

Front 13

Microvilli increase the surface area of this epithelial tissue

Back 13

Nonciliated simple columnar

Front 14

Simple squamous epithelium that lines heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels

Back 14

Endothelium

Front 15

Simple squamous epithelium that forms epithelial layer of serous membranes such as peritoneum, pleura, or pericardium

Back 15

Mesothelium

Front 16

Contains elastic fibers and found in the lungs.

Back 16

Elastic connective tissue

Front 17

Packed with parallel bundles of collagen fibers and found in tendons.

Back 17

Dense regular connective tissue

Front 18

Has firm gelatinous ground substance containing collagen fibers, and is found in the tracheal wall to prevent trachea from collapsing.

Back 18

Hyaline cartilage

Front 19

Found under covering and lining epithelial tissue, and contains some fibers and ground substance that helps the flow of nutrients to epithelial tissues.

Back 19

Areolar connective tissue

Front 20

Contains many elastic fibers, found in the ear, epiglottis, and auditory tube (Eustachian tube).

Back 20

Elastic cartilage

Front 21

Hard extracellular matrix, contains osteons, and is involved in protection and support.

Back 21

Bone (Compact bone tissue)

Front 22

Forms a framework in the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, and contains fine branching fibers.

Back 22

Reticular connective tissue

Front 23

Many bundles of collagen fibers running in different directions, and gives strength to skin and layers of muscle tissue.

Back 23

Dense irregular connective tissue

Front 24

Fluid extracellular matrix contains cells that transport oxygen to cells.

Back 24

Blood

Front 25

Contains a large number of fat-storing cells.

Back 25

Adipose tissue

Front 26

Firm gelatinous ground substance, a lot of collagen fibers, found in intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis.

Back 26

Fibrocartilage

Front 27

Osteoblasts produce extracellular matrix (2 types).

Back 27

Spongy bone tissue, compact bone tissue

Front 28

Chondrocytes produce extracellular matrix (3 types).

Back 28

Hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage

Front 29

Hard extracellular matrix forms trabeculae.

Back 29
