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
