Classification of Tissues Lab

transitional

a rather peculiar stratified squamous epithelium formed of plump cells

epithelial tissue

a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity

mesenchyme

all connective tissue is derived from an embryonic tissue known as

pseudostratified

cells vary in height and their nuclei lie at different levels above the basement membrane

squamous (scalelike), cuboidal (cubelike), columner (column-shaped)

classification of epithelia based on cell shape

squamous

epithelial cells that are scalelike and flattened

adipose tissue

fat

connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, blood

four main types of connective tissue

tissues

groups of cells that are anatomically and share a function

four

how many primary tissue types are found in the human body

they protect, support, and bind together other tissues of the body

main function of connective tissues

true

t/f: blood is a type of connective tissue

true

t/f: endocrine and exocrine glands are classified as epithelium because they usually develop from epithelial membranes

mesenchyme

the embryonic tissue that all connective tissue is derived from

epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle

the four primary tissue types

covering and lining

what type of epithelium forms the outer layer of the skin and lines body cavities that open to the outside

neurons

which is not an example of connective tissue: bones, neurons, ligaments, tendons

endocrine (exocrine retain their ducts)

which is the ductless gland
