Stem cells - Answers -✔✔ Cell that has potential to divide and produce different types
of cells
epithelial tissue - Answers -✔✔ Covers surface of the body, lines cavities and forms
glands
connective tissue - Answers -✔✔ Supports and forms framework of all parts of the
body
Membranes - Answers -✔✔ thin sheets of tissue
Epithelium - Answers -✔✔ Forms protective covering for the body
Squamous cell - Answers -✔✔ Epithelial cell that is flat and irregular
stratified epithelium - Answers -✔✔ several layers of cells
transitional epithelium - Answers -✔✔ Cells capable of great expansion but return to
original form once tension is relaxed
Exocrine glands - Answers -✔✔ Produce secretions that are carried out of the body
Goblet cells - Answers -✔✔ Single- celled exocrine glands that secrete mucus.
Scattered among epithelial cells lining respiratory and digestive passageways.
Hormones - Answers -✔✔ Chemicals produced by your glands that regulate the
activities of different body cells
Circulating connective tissue - Answers -✔✔ It's cells are suspended in a liquid matrix,
either blood or lymph
loose connective tissue - Answers -✔✔ Has a soft consistency, similar to jelly
dense connective tissue - Answers -✔✔ Contains many fibers and is strong, similar to
rope or canvas fabric
Fibroblast - Answers -✔✔ Main type of cell in areolar tissue that produces protein
fibers, collagen, and elastic fibers.
, Collagen - Answers -✔✔ Flexible white protein
adipose tissue - Answers -✔✔ Primarily composed of fat cells with minimal intercellular
matrix; underlying the skin acts as heat insulator and protective padding around organs
and joints
Adipocytes - Answers -✔✔ Able to store large amounts of fat that serve as a reserve
energy supply
Cartilage - Answers -✔✔ Structural material that provides reinforcement due to its
strength and flexibility. Acts as shock absorber and a bearing surface that reduces
friction between moving parts (joints)
Chondrocytes - Answers -✔✔ Cells that secrete cartilage.
Muscle tissue - Answers -✔✔ Repairs itself only with difficulty or not at all. When
severely injured is replaced with connective tissue.
Epithelial membranes - Answers -✔✔ Made of closely packed active cells that
manufacture lubricants and protect deeper tissue from invasion
serous membrane - Answers -✔✔ That line walls of body cavities and are folded back
onto the surface of internal organs, forming their outermost layer. Secrete fluid that
allow organs to move with minimal friction
Cutaneous membrane - Answers -✔✔ Epithelial mem. Commonly known as the skin,
has outer layer of stratified squamous epithelium and inner layer of dense irregular
connective tissue
Pleurae - Answers -✔✔ Serous membrane that line the thoracic vanity and cover each
lung
serous pericardium - Answers -✔✔ inner lining of the tough sac surrounding the heart
Peritoneum - Answers -✔✔ Largest serous membrane, lines the walls of abdominal
cavity, covers abdominal organs, and forms supporting, protective structures within the
abdomen
Parietal layer - Answers -✔✔ Portion of serous membrane attached to wall of a cavity
or sac
Visceral layer - Answers -✔✔ Portion of serous membrane attached to an organ
Mucosa - Answers -✔✔ Mucous membrane of an organ
