Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
Four major tissue types.
Binds and supports body parts.
Conducts nerve impulses.
Skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
To cover and protect surfaces, both inside and outside the body.
To transmit impulses and process information.
A collection of cells of the same type that perform a common function.
It supports, binds together, and protects tissues and organs.
Moves the body and its parts.
From solid (bone) to fluid (blood).
Single nucleus.
Intercalated disks.
Blood and lymph.
In the walls of viscera.
Fibrous, supportive, and fluid.
By a basement membrane on one side and is free on the other side.
Formed elements.
Cells filled with liquid fat.
Energy storage, insulation, and cushioning.
Under the skin and around some organs.
Cartilage and bone.
Inside the ends of long bones.
By tendons.
One nucleus.
Bone.
Fibroblasts separated by matrix (ground substance and fibers).
A single layer of cube-shaped cells.
A type of connective tissue that stores fat and provides insulation and cushioning.
A rigid connective tissue that provides structure and support to the body.
Only in the heart.
Densely packed collagen fibers.
Because it lacks a direct blood supply.
Only in the walls of the heart.
The fluid that flows through the lymphatic system.
Striated.
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Neurons and neuroglia.
Dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.
They absorb excess interstitial fluid and return lymph to the cardiovascular system.
Fine collagen fibers.
A type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility, found beneath the skin and around organs.
Involuntarily controlled.
Strong collagen fibers.
They carry oxygen.
Sensory input, integration, and motor output.
Muscle fibers.
Hyaline cartilage, Elastic cartilage, and Fibrocartilage.
They provide strength, elasticity, and support.
Voluntary control.
It consists of multiple layers of cells.
Made of tightly packed cells.
Fibroblasts, adipocytes, macrophages, and mast cells.
Stores fat.
In tendons (connecting muscles to bones) and ligaments (connecting bones to bones).
Structure, shape, and protection.
Involuntary.
Simple and stratified.
It consists of a single layer of cells.
Loose and dense.
Lines body cavities, covers body surfaces, and is found in glands.
In the outer ear.
It has very little extracellular matrix.
A fatty substance that covers some axons.
A single layer of column-shaped cells.
It appears stratified due to the location of the nuclei, but every cell touches the basement membrane.
It fills the space between cells and fibers, providing a medium for nutrient and waste exchange.
Cilia, which move mucus across its surface.
They contain elastin, a protein that stretches and recoils.
White blood cells.
They carry information toward the cell body.
The nucleus and other organelles.
To facilitate voluntary movements of the body.
More than half.
Lots of elastic fibers.
Collagen and calcium salts.
Areolar connective tissue, reticular connective tissue, and adipose tissue.
Compact and spongy.
They consist of several layers of cells.
To contract and move the body.
To move the skeleton.
Spindle-shaped.
Epithelium (plural: epithelia).
In the tip of the nose, ends of long bones, and the fetal skeleton.
A type of connective tissue that provides strength and resistance to stretching, found in tendons and ligaments.
It is involuntary and not striated.
In the disks between vertebrae.
They fight infection.
Covers body surfaces and lines body cavities.
Specialized cells, ground substance, and protein fibers.
No striations, spindle-shaped cells with one nucleus, involuntarily controlled.
Bundles of axons traveling to and from the brain and spinal cord.
A single layer of flattened cells.
In the lungs, where it functions in gas exchange.
They are very long and can run the entire length of the muscle.
Plasma.
Striated or striped.
In the shafts of long bones.
Osteons.
Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary; smooth muscle is non-striated and involuntary; cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary with intercalated discs.
It is solid but flexible.
Noncellular material between the cells.
Cells, fibers, and ground substance.
Loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
They are thin and highly branched collagen fibers.
It conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.
In the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels.
It is striated and involuntary, with intercalated discs.
In lacunae.
Connective tissue.
They provide support, stability, and structure to the knee joint.
Collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastic fibers.
They are flexible and strong.
Support and nourish neurons.
Epithelium and many internal organs.
Attached to bones throughout the body.
Multiple nuclei.
A flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning in joints.
Named for the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells.
A fluid connective tissue that transports nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body.
Clotting blood.
Lining the urinary bladder.
Blood vessels and nerves.
Cells that lie in small spaces called lacunae in cartilage.
Spongy bone is lighter than compact bone but still strong.
Stratified squamous epithelia.
To connect muscles to bones, facilitating movement.
It lines the mouth and esophagus.
Cells change shape in response to tension.
Cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
To cushion and reduce friction between the bones.
They connect bones to other bones and provide stability.
