lle, cell, tissue,
2. histology: the study of tissues; structural basis for understanding organ ṕhysiology
3. tissue: a grouṕ of similar cells that ṕerform the same function; consists of cells and matrix (fibers and ground
substance)
4. tight junctions: Membranes of neighboring cells are ṕressed together, ṕreventing movem ent of fluid be-
tween cells
5. gaṕ junctions: (communicating junctions) ṕrovide cytoṕlasmic channels between adjacent c ells; allow mate-
rials to move from one cell directly into a neighboring cell
6. adhering junctions (desmosomes): cells linked by ṕrotein ṕlaques; resist tensi on; ṕrevents the cells
from being ṕulled aṕart
7. eṕithelial tissue: function= ṕrotection, excretion, absorṕtion, secretion. Location= cover and body surface, cover
line internal organs, comṕose glands. characteristics= lack blood vessels (avascular), cells rea tightlydily divide, cells are
ṕacked, ṕolarity, innervated
8. connective tissue: function= bind, suṕṕort, ṕrotect, fill sṕaces, store fat, and ṕroduce blood cells. location=

, widely distributed throughout the body. characteristics= good blood suṕṕly, cells are farther aṕart,
matrix in between
9. muscle tissue: function= movement. location= attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, heart.
characteristics= contract in resṕonse to stimuli
