What is a tissue correct answers a collection of cells of the same type (performs a common
function)
What are the 4 major types of tissue correct answers Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and
Nervous
What is the basement membrane correct answers holds down cells
What is transitional epithelium and where is it found correct answers moves from several
layers to a single layer, found in the bladder
What are the 2 types of glands and what makes them different correct answers exocrine:
secrets into ducts
endocrine: have no ducts and secrete directly into the surrounding extracellular fluid
What is the function of connective tissue correct answers connects, supports, and anchors the
body's part
What is matrix (extracellular matrix: ECM) correct answers fiber-like structural proteins
What is ground substance correct answers polysaccharide, noncellular: ranges from hard to
liquid
What are the 3 types of protein fibers in the matrix correct answers collagen, reticular, and
elastin
What are the 3 main types of connective tissue correct answers Fibrous, Cartilage, and Bone
What are the 3 main types of fibrous connective tissue correct answers Loose, Dense, and
Elastic
What are the fibrous connective tissue made of and the cells in it correct answers made of
fibroblast cells
What are tendons and ligaments correct answers tendon: muscle to bone
ligament: bone to bone
What are a special loose fibrous connective tissue and its function correct answers adipose-
specialized for lipid storage
What are the 2 supportive connective tissues correct answers bone and cartilage
What are the 3 types of cartilage, examples, cells, and type of fibers and where are they
found? correct answers Hyaline: fine collagen fibers ex: nose, ends of long bones, and fetal
skeleton
Elastic: more elastic fibers than cartilage ex: outer ear and epiglottis
, Fibrocartilage: strong collagen fibers ex: disks between vertebrae and knee joints
What is a lacunae correct answers contains chondrocytes
What is the make-up of bone and the cells in it correct answers collagen and calcium and
phosphorus salts
What are the 2 types of bone and their differences and locations correct answers compact:
shafts of long bone
spongy: ends of long bones
What are the 2 fluid connective tissues correct answers Blood and Lymph
What is plasma correct answers serves as a medium to transport essential substances in blood
What are the formed elements correct answers Red blood cells=Erythrocyte
White blood cells=Leukocyte
Platelet=Thrombocyte
What are the 3 types of muscle and what are they made of correct answers Skeletal, Smooth,
and Cardiac; made of muscle fibers (myocytes) and protein filaments: actin and myosin
Which muscles have volunteering movement and which do not correct answers skeletal
voluntary, smooth and cardiac involuntery
Which muscles have fast movement and which are slow correct answers skeletal and cardiac
fast, smooth slow
What are some characteristics of the 3 types of muscle correct answers Skeletal: striated,
usually attached to bone, multiple nuclei
Smooth: tapered, walls of internal organs, one nucleus
Cardiac: striated, cardiac wall&cellular junctions, branched, one nucleus, intercalated disks
What is the function of the nervous tissue correct answers support cells, communication lines
(detecting, processing, and coordinating information)
What are the 2 types of cells in the nervous tissue correct answers Neurons and Neuroglia
What are the parts of the neuron and the types of nerves correct answers dendrites: carry info
toward cell body
axon: carry info away from cell body
myelin: fatty substance helps propagate signal faster
types of nerves:
sensory: sensory messages from body's sensory organs to the spinal cord
motor: conduct impulses from the spinal cord to the muscles and glands
What are the 3 types of neuroglia and what is their function correct answers
Oligodendrocytes: produce myelin sheath around axons in brain and spinal cord
