Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments are all types of this basic category of tissue
Connective
Term used for an epithelial tissue composed of more than one layer of cells
Stratified
Support, protection, and storage are all major general functions of this basic category of tissue
Connective
If you receive a cut that involved only cells of this basic category of tissue, you shouldn't bleed, because there are normally no blood vessels actually within these tissues
Epithelial
Type of tissue composed of elongated, multinucleated fibers
Skeletal
Most abundant and widely distributed of the four basic categories of tissue
Connective
Basic category of tissue that frequently forms the outer (or inner) linings of organs
Epithelial
Basic category of tissue composed of several different cell types, one of which is capable of conducting impulses
Nervous
Basic category of tissue characterized by cells which are not compactly arranged, but rather are separated by quantities of intercellular matrix which the cells help create and maintain
Connective
Basic category of tissue to which numerous neuron suppost cells of the nervous system belong
Nervous
Term used for an epithelial tissue composed of a single layer of cells
Simple
Type of cell which is frequently ciliated
Columnar
Type of muscle tissue composed of a single nucleus, rectangular shaped cells, which brand and organize into patterns resembling multinucleated fibers

Blood is an example of this category of tissue
Connective
Heat production to maintain body temperature is a major function of this basic category of tissue
Muscle
A group of cells with common structure and embryonic origin that contribute towards a common function/s
Tissue
A body structure composed of two or more types of tissue that work together to perform certain functions
Organ
Type of cell characterized by elongated processes that can measure up to a meter or more in length
Neuron
Three basic types of epithelial tissue, based on shape
Simple
Cuboidal

Epithelial
Muscle
Three basic types of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Bone and adipose cells are both examples of this basic category of tissue
Connective
type of muscle tissue composed of a single nucleus and spindle shaped cells

name of the small cavity around the intermediate mass of the thalamus which contains CSF
third ventricle
name of the point where two optic nerves meet and partially cross over, before passing to the cerebrum
optic chiasma
name of the outer layer of each cerebral hemisphere
cerebral cortex
the part of the brain made of two major hemispheres
cerebrum
name of the deep fissure that separates the cerebellum from the cerebral hemispheres
transverse fissure
name of the folds of nervous tissue characteristic of each cerebral hemisphere

name of the small cavity between the cerebellum and the medulla which contains CSF
fourth ventricle
name of the ventricles on either side of the septum pellucidum which contain CSF
lateral ventricles
name of the grooves characteristic of each cerebral hemisphere
sulci (sulcus=singular)
involuntary brain center that plays a critical role in coordination of skeletal muscle activity
cerebellum
primary auditory area of cerebrum
temporal lobe
brain center that is the primary location of such characteristics as reason, willpower, memory, emotions, and motivation
frontal lobe
brain region that includes "non-vital" centers for actions such as vomiting, sneezing, coughing, and swallowing
medulla oblongata
involuntary brain center that includes control centers for sleep, hunger, satiation, and variety of intense emotional responses
hypothalamus
primary motor area of cerebrum
frontal lobe
brain region that includes "vital centers" for involuntary control of heart function, respiratory function, and vasomotor activity
