What is epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular tissue
The four primary tissues classes
|
What is simple epithelium
Cell type contains one layer of cells and is named by the shape of the cells
|
What are phagocytes
These function to enzymatically destroy pathogenetic material
|
What is dense regular and dense irregular
Types of various fiber orientation
|
What is skeletal muscle
Type of muscle that is long, striated, voluntary, multinucleated, and cellular
|
What are collagen fibers
These fibers are very abundant throughout the body are stretch resistant and found in tendons and ligaments
|
What are simple cuboidal epithelium
Cells that are a single row of cube-shaped cells that function in absorption, secretion, and mucous production, found in sweat glands and kidney tubules
|
What are adipocytes
These cells are found in fat
|
What is adipose tissue
This tissue is loose fibrous connective tissue with lots of cells with big intracellular space, they contain large vacuoles and function for insulation and as a cushion layer to protect internal structures
|
What is smooth muscle
Type of muscle that are shorter, nonstriated, involuntary, and spindle shaped
|
What are reticular fibers
These fibers are small and thin, coated with glycoprotein and found in lymphatic and immune tissues
|
What are simple squamous epithelium
Cells that are one row of thin flat cells, is effective for transport and is found in the lungs and alveolar linging
|
What are neutrophils
These are a blood cell that phagocytizes bacteria
|
What is reticular tissue
This tissue is loose fibrous connective tissue, acellular, fibrous, and found in lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow
|
What is cardiac muscle
Type of muscle that are involuntary, have one central nuclei per cell, and contain intercalated discs
|
What are elastic fibers
These fibers promote stretching and are found in places like the nose and ears
|
What is Pseudostratified
Means cells are closely packed together, gives the appearance of cells being arranged in layers but all are attached to the basement membrane
|
What are plasma cells
These function to make antibodies
|
What is areolar tissue
This tissue consist of loose fibrous connective tissue, are acellular and fibrous
|
What are desmosomes
Protein-to-protein anchoring structure in which the membrane of one cell is intertwined to the membrane of another cell so that the cells cannot be easily pulled apart
|
What are avascular tissues
Tissues that do not have blood vessels and are provided metabolic support by deeper blood vessels
|
What are simple columnar epithelium
Cells that are a single row of tall narrow cells with oval nucleus, have microvilli and function in absorption and mucus secretion
|
What are lymphocytes
These function to destroy antibody-antigen complexes
|
What are Epithelial tissue
Tissues that are always located on the surface, made up of mostly cells with very little ground surface, and contains an apical and basement membrane
|
What are tight junctions
Structure that prevents passage between cells, anchors membranes to each other, found in places where we would not want fluid to escape
