SUCCESS
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
forms epidermis, found in lining of the throat and mouth; protects, prevents water
loss and entry of chemicals or microorganisms
transitional epithelial tissue
found in inner lining of the bladder; protects, prevents contents of urinary tract
from diffusing back into internal environment
areolar connective tissue
loose connective tissue; fills space between muscles, binds skin to organs, blood
vessels nourish nearby epithelial tissue
adipose connective tissue
fat; beneath skin, between muscles, around kidneys, surface of heart, around
joints, cushions joints/organs, insulates, stores energy
dense connective tissue
connective tissue that makes up tendons and ligaments
frontal/ coronal plane
body plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior regions
sagittal plane
body plane that divides the body between the left and the right
transverse plane
body plane that divides inferior and superior regions
, 2
epithelial tissue
tissue type that protects, secretes, absorbs
connective tissue
tissue type that protects, supports, binds together
muscle tissue
tissue type that provides the movement of body parts
nerve tissue
tissue type that allows for communication and coordination of body functions
simple squamous epithelial tissue
found in the alveoli of the lungs, lining of blood vessels; allows for rapid diffusion
of substances, filtration, osmosis
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue
found in lining of kidney tubules ad ovaries; secretes and absorbs
simple columnar epithelial tissue
found in lining of most organs of the digestive tract; secretes digestive fluids and
absorbs nutrients from food
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial tissue
found in lining of respiratory system; protects, secretes, and moves mucous
cartilage
connective tissue found in the ends of bones, nose, fetal skeleton, rings in airway
(hyaline), external ear, parts of larynx, flexible, elastic support (elastic), meniscus
of the knee, intervertebral discs, absorbs shock (fibrocartilage)
bone
connective tissue found in bones, support, attachment for muscles, mineral
storage, protection, forms blood cells
, 3
blood
connective tissue that transports materials throughout the body, maintains
homeostasis
skeletal muscle tissue
muscle tissue attached to bones, pulls on bones for movement, consciously
controlled; multi-nucleated, striated
smooth muscle tissue
muscle tissue found in the walls of hollow internal organs, moves food through
digestive tract and blood through blood vessels, unconsciously controlled; one
nucleus, unstriated
cardiac muscle tissue
muscle tissue found in the heart, pumps blood through heart chambers and into
blood vessels, unconsciously controlled; one nucleus, striated, branched
intercalated discs
anatomic position
describing the body facing forward, palms up, thumbs out
gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
hormone released from hypothalamus; causes anterior pituitary to release FSH
and LH
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
hormone released from the anterior pituitary; stimulates the production of steroid
hormones in the adrenal glands
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
hormone released from the anterior pituitary; regulates the development and
production of male and female gametes in the ovaries/testes
luteinizing hormone (LH)
