Term
What are the main characteristics of connective tissue?
Definition
It supports, protects, and binds other tissues together.
Term
Where is connective tissue found in the body?
Definition
Connective tissue is found in fat, soft padding tissue, bones and tendons.
Term
What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue?
Definition
Epithelial tissue protects, secretes, absorbs, filters, and forms boundaries between different environments.
Term
Where is epithelial tissue found in the body?
Definition
Epithelial tissue is found in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract organs, other hollow organs and the skin surface (aka epidermis).
Term
What are the characteristics of muscle tissue?
Definition
Muscle tissue contracts to cause movement.
Term
Where is muscle tissue found in the body?
Definition
Muscle tissue is found in the muscles that are attached to bones (skeletal muscle), in the muscles of the heart (cardiac muscle), and in the muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth muscle).
Term
What are the characteristics of nervous tissue?
Definition
Nervous tissue aids in internal communication.
Term
Where is nervous tissue found in the bdoy?
Definition
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, on the spinal cord, and within the nerves.
Term
Describe simple epithelial tissue.
Definition
Simple epithelial tissue consists ofa single cell layer. It is usually found where absorption, secretion, and filtration take place.
Term
Describe stratified epithelial tissue.
Definition
Stratified epithelial tissue consists of two or more cell layers that are stacked on top of one another. It is found in high abrasion areas where protection is important. These areas include the lining of the oral cavity, and the epidermis.
Term
What do squamous cells look like?
Definition
Squamous cells are flattened and scalelike.

Definition
Cuboidal cells are box like. They are as tall and they are wide.
Term
What do columnar cells look like?
Definition
Columnar cells are tall and column shaped.

For joint movement, what is the insertion?
Definition
The insertion is the moveable bone.

What are the different layers of the meninges?
Definition
The Dura matter, arachnoid matter, and pia matter.
Term
During bone movement what is the antagonist?
Definition
The antagonist is the bone that is not moving.
Term
During bone movement, what is the protagonist?
Definition
The protagonist is the bone that begins the movement.
Term
During bone movement, what is the synergist?
Definition
The synergist is the bone that goes along with the movement initiated by the protagonist.
Term
What are the 5 sulcus (lobes) of the brain, in order?
Definition
Frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and insula.
Term
What is the mitochondria of the cell and what system of the body is it most like?
Definition
It is the powerhouse. It is most like the digestive system.
Term
What are the ribosomes in a cell and what are they for?
Definition
They are small dark granules that are for protein synthesis.
Term
What is the golgi apparatus in the cell and what body system is it most like?
Definition
The golgi apparatus is the traffic director and it is most like the circulatory system.
Term
What are lysosomes in a cell and what organ system of the body are they most like?
Definition
Lysosomes are the spherical membranes of a cell that are most like the digestive system.
Term
What are centrisomes in a cell and which organ system of the body are they most like?
Definition
Centrisomes are microtubules that are an organization center of the cell. They most resemble the nervous system.
Term
What organ system do peroxisomes in a cell most resemble?
Definition
Peroxisomes most resemble the renal system because they filter.
