Overview of tissues and fiber types Classification of cells Cells of connective tissues Tissues Muscles
100
What is epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular tissue
The four primary tissues classes
100
What is simple epithelium
Cell type contains one layer of cells and is named by the shape of the cells
100
What are phagocytes
These function to enzymatically destroy pathogenetic material
100
What is dense regular and dense irregular
Types of various fiber orientation
100
What is skeletal muscle
Type of muscle that is long, striated, voluntary, multinucleated, and cellular
200
What are collagen fibers
These fibers are very abundant throughout the body are stretch resistant and found in tendons and ligaments
200
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
200
What are adipocytes
These cells are found in fat
200
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
200
What is smooth muscle
Type of muscle that are shorter, nonstriated, involuntary, and spindle shaped
300
What are reticular fibers
These fibers are small and thin, coated with glycoprotein and found in lymphatic and immune tissues
300
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
300
What are neutrophils
These are a blood cell that phagocytizes bacteria
300
What is reticular tissue
This tissue is loose fibrous connective tissue, acellular, fibrous, and found in lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow
300
What is cardiac muscle
Type of muscle that are involuntary, have one central nuclei per cell, and contain intercalated discs
400
What are elastic fibers
These fibers promote stretching and are found in places like the nose and ears
400
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
400
What are plasma cells
These function to make antibodies
400
What is areolar tissue
This tissue consist of loose fibrous connective tissue, are acellular and fibrous
400
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
500
What are avascular tissues
Tissues that do not have blood vessels and are provided metabolic support by deeper blood vessels
500
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
500
What are lymphocytes
These function to destroy antibody-antigen complexes
500
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
500
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
