Anatomy ch 4 homework

Indicate functions of connective tissue in the body.

Lends support Transport of nutrients, gases, enzymes and hormones. Attachment of one tissue to another Storage of high-energy molecules and minerals.

function of serous membrane

Line body cavities that are NOT open to the exterior environment. Always come in pairs (visceral and parietal)

function of mucous membrane

Lines all body cavities that are open to exterior (such as digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive tracts)

The basal surface of an epithelial cell faces the ______.

basement membrane

The disk-shaped intercellular junction with adhesive glycoproteins that bind cells to each other and filaments that extend into the cytoplasm of the cells is called a(n) _

desmosome

glands, while glands that release their secretions into the blood are

endocrine

Because it forms covering and lining layers for body structures, tissue has very little extracellular matrix.

epithelial

Consider the four classes of tissues (epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous). Glands (such as sweat glands and mammary glands) are primarily composed of

epithelial

The primary tissue type that is composed of layers of closely packed cells that cover organ surfaces, line structures, and form glands is called ______.

epithelial

The tissue type composed of a layer, or layers, of closely packed cells that cover organ surfaces, line structures, and form glands is Input Field 1 of 1 epithelial unavailable correct

True or false: Epithelial tissue is highly vascular.

false

A specialized contact region between cells containing protein channels that aid intercellular communication is a

gap

the study of tissues is called

histology

function of synovial membrane

An aggregation of cells and extracellular materials which performs a discrete function is known as

tissue

Collections of specialized cells and extra-cellular substances around them are known as a(n)

tissue

Histology is the study of?

tissues

Mucous membrane matches

Consists of a layer of epithelial cells, a basement membrane and a lamina propria

Serous membrane

Consists of a mesothelium, a basement membrane and loose connective tissue

Synovial membrane

Consists of only connective tissue

What is the function of the basement membrane?

adhere epithelial tissue to underlying connective tissue

The surface of an epithelial cell that faces the basement membrane is its

basal

A specialized layer that serves to anchor an epithelium to the connective tissue below it is called the______membrane

basement

The class of tissue that consists of cells separated from each other by large amounts of extracellular matrix is called

connective

What class of tissue is comprised of widely-spaced cells and abundant extracellular material?

connective
