connective
the extracellular matrix of this type of tissue can vary in consistency between liquid and solid
connective
protects, binds together, and supports organs

covers body surfaces and many organs
epithelial tissue
covers surfaces and lines body cavities and organs
epithelial tissue
lines body cavities
epithelial tissue
lines many organs
epithelial tissue
what tissue do the following phrases describe? it has a high regeneration capacity it is lacks blood vessels
epithelial tissue
what type of tissue do the following phrases describe? it has a high regeneration capacity it lacks blood vessels it is richly innervated
epithelial tissue
what are the four primary types of tissues found in the human body?
epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle
this type of gland has a duct and carries its secretions to the surface of the body or the lumen of an organ
exocrine
true or false: epithelial tissue protects, binds together, and supports organs
false; it describes connect tissue
adipocyte connective tissue location:
fat
these cells produce fibers and ground substance
fibroblasts
the study of tissues and their relationships within organs is called:
histology
what characteristics describe epithelial tissue?
it is composed of almost entirely cells the cells are bound closely together the basal surface is bound to a basement membrane
ground substance
it is part of the extracellular matrix; consists of proteins, carbohydrates, and water; it can be fluid, semisolid, or solid
describe skeletal muscle tissue
it is voluntary it is striated it is multinucleated
Describe simple squamous epithelium tissue
it lines blood vessels; it allows for diffusion and osmosis across its surface
found in the epidermis of the skin
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
_______ stratified squamous epithelial tissue forms the epidermis of skin
keratinzied
where might you typically find simple squamous epithelium?
lumen of blood vessels and the air sacs of the lungs
what is the criteria used to classify multicellular exocrine glands?
method of secretion
Tiny, cytoplasmic projections on the apical surface of a cell that increases the surface area for secretion and absorption are called ______.
microvilli
controls activities, processes information
nervous tissue
found in body openings like the oral cavity, vagina and anus
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
hyaline cartilage is located:
on the ends of bones, in the soft part of the nose, in the supporting rings of the respiratory passages, and in the embryo's skeleton
what are the functions of epithelial tissue?
physical protection, selective permeability, secretions, sensations
lines upper respiratory tract
pseduostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
what is the criteria used to classify epithelia?
shape of cells at apical surface and the number of cell layers
the linings of small blood vessels need to be thin, allowing for exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues. Therefore, one would predict this epithelium to be ________.
simple
striated and voluntary
skeletal muscle tissue
the three types of muscle tissue are:
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
spindle-shaped and involuntary
smooth muscle tissue
this muscle tissue lines the walls of blood vessels
smooth muscle tissue
this muscle tissue lines the walls of the stomach
smooth muscle tissue
this muscle tissue lines the walls of the urinary bladder
smooth muscle tissue
what epithelial cells are flat, wide and somewhat irregular in shape?
squamous
functions of bone include:
storage of calcium, protection of organs, and support of soft tissues
a ______ epithelium contains two or more layers of epithelial cells
stratified
where is areolar connective tissue located?
surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and in the subcutaneous layer of skin
which type of epithelium is composed of cells that readily change their shapes?
transitional
lining of urinary bladder, ureters and part of the urethra
transitional epithelium
True or False: areolar connective tissue is found nearly everywhere in the body
true
True or false: tissues are groups of similar cells that carry out a common function
true
true or false: ground substance is produced by connective tissue cells
true
true or false: stratified columnar epithelium is relatively rare in the body and is found in the membranous segment of the male urethra
true
