Samantha Victoria Teas Exam Flashcards

Front 1

Epithelial Tissue

Back 1

-Two Functions: provide covering, or produce secretions.
-exists in sheets and does not have its own blood supply.
-can regenerate easily
- classified according to the number of cell lays and the cell shape.
-cell shape- (squamous, cubodial, and columnar)

Front 2

Simple Epithelium

Back 2

One layer of cells (found in the bodys structures wehre absorption secretion ad filtration occur
cell shape- (squamous, cubodial, and columnar)

Front 3

Stratified epithelium

Back 3

has more than one alyer of cells and serves as protections
cell shape- (squamous, cubodial, and columnar)

Front 4

Connective tissue

Back 4

-found through the body, it serves to connect different structures of the body.
- commonly has its own blood supply, however, there are some types of conective tissue, such as ligaments, that do not.
- the various types of connective tissues include... bone/cartilage/adipose (fat)/ and blood vessel.

Front 5

Muscle Tissue

Back 5

-Dedicated to producing movement.
-Three types: skeletal/cardiac/ and smooth

Front 6

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Back 6

supports voluntary movement since it is connected to bones in the skeletal system. Voluntary movements are consciously controlled by the brain.

Front 7

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Back 7

Under involuntary control, which means it cannot be consciously controlled. It is found in the walls of hollow organs, such as intestines, blood vessels, bladder, and uterus.

Front 8

Cardiac muscle Tissue

Back 8

found only in the heart and is involuntary

Front 9

Nervous Tissue

Back 9

provied the structure for the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. (nerves are made up of specialized cells called neurons that send electrical impulses thoughout the body). Support cells, such as myelin, help protect nervous tissue.
