Types of epithelial cells - ANSWER: Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Squamous Cells - ANSWER: Thin, flat epithelial cells that allow molecules to easily

Stratified Epithelial Cells - ANSWER: Multiple layers of cells
Transitional Epithelium - ANSWER: Epithelial cells that can change shape of stretch
Glandular Epithelium - ANSWER: Epithelial cells secreting specific water-based fluid,
often containing proteins (breast milk, saliva, hormones)
Connective Tissue - ANSWER: Tissue supporting, binding, or connecting other tissues
in the body
Loose connective tissue - ANSWER: Made of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers,
and it holds organs in place
Dense connective tissue - ANSWER: Made of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers,
and makes up tendons and ligaments.
3 types of muscle tissue - ANSWER: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
Skeletal Muscle - ANSWER: muscle fibers responsible for voluntary contraction
Smooth muscle - ANSWER: muscle fibers responsible for involuntary muscle
contraction in the orgqn systems
Cardiac Muscle - ANSWER: Muscle found only in the heart and contains branched
and striated muscle fibers
Striated muscle fibers - ANSWER: muscle fibers having contractile units running
parallel, appearing striped on a microscope
,Nervous tissue - ANSWER: The cells of the nervous system controlling body
movement and body functions
Nerve cells - ANSWER: the neurons transmitting nerve signals
Neurological cells - ANSWER: nervous tissue found largely in the CNS that forms
myelin, protects and supports neurons, and maintains homeostasis
Efferent Nerves - ANSWER: Neve cells carrying a signal from the brain to the body
Afferent Nerves - ANSWER: Nerve cells that carry a signal from the body to the brain
Central Nervous system - ANSWER: The brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system - ANSWER: The nervous system outside the brain and
spinal cord
11 major organ systems - ANSWER: Digestive
muscular
integumentary
lymphatic
endocrine
nervous
skeletal
reproductive
respiratory
urinary
circulatory
Integumentary system - ANSWER: Organ system protecting the body; composed of
hair, skin, and nails
3 layers of the skin - ANSWER: epidermis, dermis, hypodermis or subcutaneous layer
Epidermis - ANSWER: the external layer of skin creating a waterproof barrier and
giving the skin its physical tone
Dermis - ANSWER: the skin layer below the epidermis containing hair follicles,
connective tissue, sweat glands, blood vessels, and lymph vessels
Hypodermis - ANSWER: the third skin layer made up of adipose and connective
tissue
Subcutaneous layer - ANSWER: the skin layer serving to insulate; technically part of
the hypodermal layer
, Muscular System - ANSWER: The collection of the muscle fibers throughout the body
with the main function of contractability
3 muscle tissue types - ANSWER: Cardiac, smooth, skeletal
Smooth muscle - ANSWER: Involuntary muscle found in all hollow organs
Skeletal muscle - ANSWER: Voluntary muscle that can be trained with physical
activity
Vertebrates - ANSWER: Animals with a vertebral column or spine
Skeletal system function - ANSWER: provides a framework to protect the soft organs
inside the body and protect nervous system components, including the brain and
spinal cord, from damage.
Axial skeleton - ANSWER: made up 80 bones in the human and includes the bones of
the vertical axis of the body, such as the sternum, cranium, and vertebral column
Appendicular skeleton - ANSWER: Made up of 126 bones and includes the bones of
the appendages attaching to the axial skeleton
Bone Marrow - ANSWER: Generates stem cells and produces red blood cells
Spongy Bone - ANSWER: Porous and highly vascular bone near the ends of the long
bones
Compact bone - ANSWER: dense, hard bone providing structure
Medullary cavity - ANSWER: The central cavity through the bone shaft storing bone
marrow and is known as the marrow cavity
Periosteum - ANSWER: The vascular connective tissue layer covering bones except
for the surfaces of the joints
Nervous System - ANSWER: allows the body to communicate with, control, and
regulate the other organ systems for proper body function
Interneurons - ANSWER: A neuron with its cells body, axon, and dendrites located
entirely within the CNS and helps transmit impulses between neurons
Somatic Nervous System - ANSWER: carries impulses to and from the skeletal
muscle, through the spinal cord, and to or from the brain, which allows the body to
react to the external environment
Autonomic Nervous System - ANSWER: Involuntary and controls the internal organs,
including the heart and lungs as well as glands
