Epithelial Tissue, Connective Tissue, Muscular Tissue, and Cardiac Muscular Tissue
Term
Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
Lining tissue of the body, classified according to shape arrangemnts and function of their cells
Term
Types of Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
1. Columnar epithelial tissue 2. Squamos Epithelial Tissue 3. Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
Term
Example of Squamos Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
Tympanic membrane
Term
2 Examples of Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
Ovary and kidney's
Term
Connective Tissue:
Definition
Supporting tissue of the various structures of the body
Term
Types of Connective Tissue:
Definition
1. Higher Vascular. 2. Aerolar Connective Tissue. 3. Adipose Connective Tissue 4. Osseous Connective Tissue
Term
Columnar epithelial tissue:
Definition
Enlongated, longer than they are wide. Act as a barrier, preventing foreign matter from entering these cavities such as digestive tracts.
Term
Squamos Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
Thin plate like or scale like cells.
Term
Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue:
Definition
Cubed shape.Function: Secretion and absorption of fluid.
Term
Aerolar Connective Tissue:
Definition
Meshwork of thin fibers tht interlace in all directions giving tissue both elasticity and strength. Chief functions Binds parts of the body together. Found between muscles and an outside covering for blood vessels and nerves. Connects blood vessels and nerves to surronding structures.
Term
Adipose connective Tissue:
Definition
"Fatty Tissue" Reservior for evergy producing foods. Helps prevent heat loss. Supports various organs
Term
Osseous Connective tissue:
Definition
Bone Tissue. Dense fibrous connective tissue that forms tendons, cartilage, and bones
Term
Types of Muscular Tissue:
Definition
1. Skeletal Muscle Tissue 2. Smooth Muscle Tissue
Term
Skeletal Muscle Tissue:
Definition
Voluntary muscle fiber under our own control. Usually attached to bone
Term
Smooth Muscle Tissue:
Definition
Smooth/nonstriated. Not under or own control/ involuntary
Term
Example of smooth muscle tissue:
Definition
Walls of hollow organs- stomach, intestines blood vessels and bladder
Term
Cardiac muscle Tissue:
Definition
Involuntary. Located only in the heart. Responsible for pumping blood into the heart chambers and certain blood vessels
