Histology - ANSWERS>>>>>The study of tissues
The four primary tissue types - ANSWERS>>>>>Epithelial tissue,
connective tissue, muscle tissue, and neural tissue
Epithelial tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue covers and protects
exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers,
and produces glandular secretions
Connective tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue fills internal
spaces, provides structural support, and stores energy
Muscle tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue contracts to produce
active movement
Skeletal muscle tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue is usually
attached to the skeleton, directly or indirectly, and its
contractions move or stabilize the position of bones or internal
organs
,Cardiac muscle tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue is found only
in the heart, where its coordinated contractions propel blood
through the blood vessels
Smooth muscle tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue can be found
in the walls of blood vessels, within glands, and along the
respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and reproductive tracts
Neural tissue - ANSWERS>>>>>This tissue conducts electrical
impulses and carries information
Neuron - ANSWERS>>>>>A cell in neural tissue that is specialized
for intercellular communication through (1) changes in
membrane potential and (2) synaptic connections
Neuroglia - ANSWERS>>>>>Cells of the central nervous system
and peripheral nervous system that support and protect neurons
Central nervous system - ANSWERS>>>>>The brain and the
spinal cord (CNS)
Peripheral nervous system - ANSWERS>>>>>All neural tissue
outside the nervous system (PNS)
Integumentary system - ANSWERS>>>>>Protection from
environmental hazards; temperature control
, Skeletal system - ANSWERS>>>>>Support, protection of soft
tissues; mineral storage, blood formation
Muscular system - ANSWERS>>>>>Locomotion, support, heat
production
Nervous system - ANSWERS>>>>>Directing immediate responses
to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ
systems
Biology - ANSWERS>>>>>The study of life
Responsiveness - ANSWERS>>>>>Indicates that the organism
recognizes changes in its internal or external environment
Adaptability - ANSWERS>>>>>Changes the organism's behavior,
capabilities, or structure
Growth and reproduction - ANSWERS>>>>>Indicate that the
organism is successful; growth must occur before reproduction
Movement - ANSWERS>>>>>Distributes materials throughout
large organisms; changes orientation or position of a plant or
immobile animal; moves mobil animals arounds the environment
(locomotion)
Respiration - ANSWERS>>>>>Usually refers to the absorption and
utilization of oxygen, and the generation and release of carbon
dioxide
