cells in simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelia produce protective mucous coatings over the mucous membranes
tendons, ligaments, and the deeper portion of the skin
collagenous fibers are very abundant in
simple columnar
a brush border of microvilli belongs to
complex of macromolecules
a connective tissue fiber
entire cell
a muscle fiber
part of a cell
a nerve fiber
tight junctions
ensures that most digested nutrients pass through the epithelial cells and not between them
simple squamous
epithelium allows for rapid diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs
small intestine
epithelium found in the
true
fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs
true
in an epithelium, there is almost no extracellular matrix
blood
is found in the heart
epithelial tissue
lines body cavities, covers the body surface, forms the lining of many organs
hyperextensible joints
marfan syndrome is a hereditary defect in elastin fibers. People with this syndrome have
neuroglia
nervous tissue consists of neurons and
adipose tissue
new triglycerides are constantly synthesized and stored and others are hydrolyzed and released into circulation mostly from cells in
transport nutrients to the tissue
one of its functions is to
fibroblasts
produce the fibers and ground substance that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue
true
scar tissue helps to hold an organ together but does not restore normal function of the damaged tissue
chondroblasts
secrete the rubbery matrix of cartilage
true
smooth and cardiac muscles are under involuntary control
epithelium and connective tissue
the basement membrane is found between
cytosol
the clear gel inside a cell is called
true
the clear gel that usually surrounds cells is called interstitial fluid
