Animal Tissues
Stratified Cell
Multiple layers, used for protection (epithelial)
Cardiac Tissue
Striated, and involuntary movement, such as the heart (muscle)
Nerve Tissue
A body tissue that conducts and transmits messages/impulses back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body
Muscle Tissue
A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move
Epithelial Tissue
A body tissue that covers the interior and exterior surfaces of the body
Connective Tissue
A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts, most diverse tissue in terms of function
Types of Connective Tissue
Bones Cartilage Fibrous Tissue Loose Tissue Blood Adipose Tissue
Dendrite
Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information, towards the body (nerve)
Describe Connective Tissue Cells
Cells are relatively far apart and widely scattered and have an intercellular matrix made up of water
Neurotransmitters
Chemicals that transmit information from one neuron to another (nerve)
Cartilage
Chondrocytes-protein, flexible but can be torn (connective)
Squamous Cell
Flat, scale like shape of a cell (epithelial)
Simple Cell
1 layer thick, used for passing (epithelial)
Axon
A threadlike extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body (nerve)
Cuboidal Cell
Cube, box like shape of a cell (epithelial)
Name 4 Animal Tissue Types
Epithelial Connective Nerve Muscle
Adipose Tissue
Fat droplets, stores fat, protective and shock absorbing
Nodes of Ranvier
Gaps in the myelin sheath (nerve)
Loose Tissue
Has a water matrix beneath the skin that anchors the skin, also gives skin elasticity (connective
Fibrous Tissue
Ligaments-muscle to bone Tendons-bone to bone (connective)
Smooth Tissue
Non-striated, and involuntary movement, such as intestines (muscle)
Bones
Osteocytes-hard, skeletal (connective)
Columnar Cell
Rectangular, column like shape of a cell (epithelial)
3 Types of Muscle Tissue
Skeletal Smooth Cardiac
Skeletal Tissue
This is striated, voluntary movement, such as arm (muscle)
The heart, upper abdominal cavity
Where would the cardiac be found?
Blood
White blood cells-immunity/defense Red blood cells-Transport oxygen Plasma Platelets-Thrombocytes, helps maintain blood pressure, creates temporary clots (connective)
Myelin Sheath
Wraps around and insulates the axon (nerve)
