Tissues
Term
What are the different kinds of tissues?
Definition
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
Term
Epithelial tissue
Definition
Covers body, lines organs and cavities
Term
Covers body, lines organs and cavity
Definition
Epithelial tissue
Term
Which type of tissue is named by cell layers and cell shape?
Definition
Epithelial tissue
Term
Epithelial tissue is named for...
Definition
cell layers and cell shape
Term
1 layer =
Definition
"Simple"
Term
"Simple" =
Definition
1 layer
Term
"Stratifed" =
Definition
multiple layers
Term
Multiple layers =
Definition
"Stratified"
Term
"Cubodial" =
Definition
Cube shaped
Term
Cube shaped =
Definition
"Cubodial"
Term
Column shaped =
Definition
"Columnar"
Term
"Columnar" =
Definition
column shaped
Term
"Genus Species" is to taxonomy as "______________________________" is to Epithelial tissue
Definition
"Genus species" is to taxonomy as "Number Shape" is to Epithelial tissue
Term
Why would simple columnar make sense in the intestine?
Definition
Because a thin 1 cell-layered tissue would make an efficient absorption rate.
Term
Why would you want stratified squamous for the skin?
Definition
Because a tissue that has many layers and is flattened is good for areas where you need it to be easy for many layers to be easily disposed of.
Term
Connective tissue
Definition
Mix of cells and extracellular matrix
Term
Mix of cells and extracellular matrix
Definition
Connective tissue
Term
What can the matrix be in the extracellular matrix in the connective tissue?
Definition
Liquid, protein, minerals or a combination.
Term
What are the things that are included in the connective tissue?
Definition
- Loose Connective Tisse
- Cartilage
- Blood
- Fibrous Connective Tissue
- Bone
Term
What is the mnemonic for the tissues that are included in the connective tissue?
Definition
Lisa cannot bear further Biology
Term
What is the function of loose connective tissue?
Definition
Joins tissues, holds organs in place.
Term
What is included in Fibrous connective tissue?
Definition

Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
Term
What is the quality and function of skeletal muscle?
Definition
Striated, voluntary body movement (and diaphragm).
Term
What is the quality and function of the smooth muscle?
Definition
Lacks striations, used for involuntary organ movement.
Term
What are examples of smooth muscle at work?
Definition
Digestive tract, urinary bladder, arteries.
Term
What is the quality and function of cardiac muscle?
Definition
Striated heart muscle, pumps blood.
Term
What is the function of Nervous tissue?
Definition
Send, receive and process signals.
