Animal Tissues

Stratified Cell

Multiple layers, used for protection (epithelial)

Cardiac Tissue

Striated, and involuntary movement, such as the heart (muscle)

Nerve Tissue

A body tissue that conducts and transmits messages/impulses back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body

Muscle Tissue

A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move

Epithelial Tissue

A body tissue that covers the interior and exterior surfaces of the body

Connective Tissue

A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts, most diverse tissue in terms of function

Types of Connective Tissue

Bones Cartilage Fibrous Tissue Loose Tissue Blood Adipose Tissue

Dendrite

Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information, towards the body (nerve)

Describe Connective Tissue Cells

Cells are relatively far apart and widely scattered and have an intercellular matrix made up of water

Neurotransmitters

Chemicals that transmit information from one neuron to another (nerve)

Cartilage

Chondrocytes-protein, flexible but can be torn (connective)

Squamous Cell

Flat, scale like shape of a cell (epithelial)

Simple Cell

1 layer thick, used for passing (epithelial)

Axon

A threadlike extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body (nerve)

Cuboidal Cell

Cube, box like shape of a cell (epithelial)

Name 4 Animal Tissue Types

Epithelial Connective Nerve Muscle

Adipose Tissue

Fat droplets, stores fat, protective and shock absorbing

Nodes of Ranvier

Gaps in the myelin sheath (nerve)

Loose Tissue

Has a water matrix beneath the skin that anchors the skin, also gives skin elasticity (connective

Fibrous Tissue

Ligaments-muscle to bone Tendons-bone to bone (connective)

Smooth Tissue

Non-striated, and involuntary movement, such as intestines (muscle)

Bones

Osteocytes-hard, skeletal (connective)

Columnar Cell

Rectangular, column like shape of a cell (epithelial)

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

Skeletal Smooth Cardiac

Skeletal Tissue

This is striated, voluntary movement, such as arm (muscle)

The heart, upper abdominal cavity

Where would the cardiac be found?

Blood

White blood cells-immunity/defense Red blood cells-Transport oxygen Plasma Platelets-Thrombocytes, helps maintain blood pressure, creates temporary clots (connective)

Myelin Sheath

Wraps around and insulates the axon (nerve)
