Tissue - ANSWER:A collection of similar cells that perform a function
The four main types of tissues are: - ANSWER:Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Epithelial Tissue - ANSWER:Covers and lines most of the body and many parts found
in the body
Epithelial tissue cells are: - ANSWER:packed tightly together
contain no blood vessels
form a sheet
Squamous Epithelium - ANSWER:Flat or scale like cells
Cuboidal Epithelium - ANSWER:cube shaped cells
Columnar Epithelium - ANSWER:column like cells
Transitional Epithelium - ANSWER:Stretchy and variably shaped
Cells that are arranged in a single layer are classified as - ANSWER:Simple
Cells arranged in several layers are classified as - ANSWER:stratified
Stratified cells are named by the type of cell that is on the: - ANSWER:outer layer
Pseudostratified - ANSWER:Epithelial tissue that looks stratified but is not
The function required of the tissue dictates what type of: - ANSWER:cell formation is
used
Membranes - ANSWER:sheetlike structures found throughout the body that perform
special functions
Connective Tissue - ANSWER:Holds things together, provides structure and support,
stores fluids and nutrients
Where is connective tissue found? - ANSWER:Organs, bones, muscles, membranes
and skin
, Connective tissue has relatively fewer cells than epithelial tissue, which are
embedded in: - ANSWER:an extracellular matrix
What is a matrix? - ANSWER:A noncellular material in which cells can be embedded
What four categories can connective tissue be divided into? - ANSWER:Connective
tissue proper, cartilage, bone and blood/lymph fluid
Connective Tissue Proper - ANSWER:Fine, delicate webs of connective tissue -
areolar
Loose, connective tissue - Adipose
Tendons and ligaments are composed of - ANSWER:dense connective tissue
Muscle Tissue - ANSWER:Responsible for movement
Muscle tissue has the ability to - ANSWER:contract
What are the three types of muscle tissue? - ANSWER:Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
Skeletal muscle is: - ANSWER:striated, due to its striped appearance
Skeletal muscle is attached to: - ANSWER:bones, causing movement by contracting
and relaxing
Skeletal muscle surrounds openings of the body, such as - ANSWER:the mouth,
causing it to close and open
Skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning - ANSWER:that they take conscious effort to
move
Cardiac Muscle - ANSWER:Found in the walls of the heart
Cardiac muscle is involuntary, meaning - ANSWER:you don't have to think about it
for it to contract
Smooth Muscle - ANSWER:Forms walls of hollow organs, such as our digestive
organs
Smooth muscle is what type of muscle? - ANSWER:Involuntary
Nervous Tissue - ANSWER:A rapid messenger service for the body that is made up of
neurons and neuroglia
Tissue Repair - ANSWER:Blood vessels are damaged, blood forms a clot, a scab is
produced if the injury is exposed to air
