insterstitial fluid fluid located between cells and among tissues
cuboidal epithelium cube shaped epithelial cells that function in secretion, and are located in various
endocrine glands
simple columnar epithelium lines intestines, secretes digestive juices and absorbs nutrients, one cell thick
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium forms a mucous membrane in portions of the respiratory tract; contains cilia that
move the film of mucous
stratified squamous epithelium regenerates cells rapidly at the basal lamina, located in areas of abrasion (anus,
vagina, skin, linings of esophagus)
simple squamous epithelium thin and leaky, located at sites of diffusion (alveoli and blood vessels)

basal lamina a mat of extracellular matrix that separates an organ from epithelial tissue
lumen cavity, external area around organ
loose connective tissue connects organs/tissues to epithelium
cartilage connective tissue that is sturdy, but softer and more flexible than bone
chondroitin sulfate a rubbery matrix made of a protein-carbohydrate complex located in cartilage
chondrocytes cells in cartilage that secrete collagen chondroitin sulfate
fibrous connective tissue includes tendons and ligaments, made of fibers in parallel bundles, which
maximize non-elastic strength
adipose tissue tissue that protects, insulates, and cushions the body, holds fat in adipose cells
which contain fat droplets that can grow and shrink
bone mineralized connective tissue; contain a matrix of bone with which calcium,
magnesium, and phosphate ions combine to form a mineral
osteoblasts secretes matrix of collagen in bone
osteons repeating units inside bone, contain concentric layers of mineralized collagen
wrapped around blood vessels and nerves
fibroblasts cells of connective tissue that secrete the protein ingredients
macrophages engulf foreign particles and debris through phagocytosis
collagenous fibers made of collagen, nonelastic and do not tear easily
reticular fibers made of collagen, joins connective tissue to adjacent tissues, continuous with
collagenous fibers
elastic fibers made of elastin, easily stretched but bounce back to original shape
sarcomeres repeating units in muscles
glial cells or glia located in nervous tissue; nourish, insulate, and replenish neurons
regulator manages internal conditions to combat changes caused by external conditions
conformer allows internal conditions to conform to external conditions
normal range (of a variable - homeostasis) range for which action is taken to maintain homeostasis
