BLUEPRINT FOR GUARANTEED SUCCESS
pleurisy - CORRECT ANSWER -an inflammation of the pleura that produces
sharp chest pain with each breath
Tissues - CORRECT ANSWER -Groups of cells with a common structure and
function.
4 main types of tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -epithelial, connective, muscle,
nervous
epithelial tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -covers the surfaces of your body,
inside and out
simple - CORRECT ANSWER -one layer of epithelial cells
stratified - CORRECT ANSWER -more than one layer of epithelial cells
simple squamous epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER -Lines blood vessels
and air sacs of lungs; permits exchange of nutrients, wastes, and gases
,simple cuboidal epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER --single layer of
cubeshaped cells -line kidney tubules
-secretion & absorption
simple columnar epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER --Made up of a single
layer of tall cells that fit closely together
-secretion & absorption
-digestive tract
stratified squamous epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER --protects underlying
tissues in areas subject to abrasion
-many layers, top cells flattened
-found in skin
goblet cell - CORRECT ANSWER -unicellular gland found in columnar
epithelium that secretes mucous
Four types of connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -connective tissue
proper, cartilage, bone, blood
connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -Supports, protects and holds the
body together
-cyte - CORRECT ANSWER -mature cell, doing its job Example:
osteocyte (bone), chondrocyte (cartilage), etc.
, -blast - CORRECT ANSWER -cells that build
Examples: osteoblast (builds bone), chondroblasts (build cartilage)
-clast - CORRECT ANSWER -cells that break down
Examples: osteoclast (breaks down bone), chondroclast (breaks down
cartilage)
nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER -control and regulation of body
muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -movement
endocrine glands - CORRECT ANSWER -Ductless glands that empty their
hormonal products directly into the blood
exocrine glands - CORRECT ANSWER -gland that releases its secretions
through tubelike structures called ducts; unicellular & multicellular
merocrine glands - CORRECT ANSWER -Exocrine glands that secrete
through exocytosis; Ex:sweat & salivary glands.
holicrine glands - CORRECT ANSWER -shed entire cells; Ex: sebaceous (oil)
glands
areolar connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -Function: wraps and
cushions organs
Location: widely distributed under epithelia of body
