| 4785293503 | 4 main types of tissues | Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous | 0 | |
| 4785293504 | Covers the body and lines the body cavities | Epithelial tissue | 1 | |
| 4785293505 | Epithelial classified by shape | Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional | 2 | |
| 4785293506 | Epithelial classified by arrangement of cells | Simple, stratified | 3 | |
| 4785293507 | Single layer of scale like cells; function is transport | Simple squamous epithelium | 4 | |
| 4785293508 | Several layers of closely packed cells; function is protection | Stratified squamous epithelium | 5 | |
| 4785293509 | Columnar cells arranged in single layer; line stomach and intestines; specialized for absorption | Simple columnar epithelium | 6 | |
| 4785293510 | Found in body areas that stretch; up to 10 layers of cuboidal cells that distort to squamous when stretched | Stratified transitional epithelium | 7 | |
| 4785293511 | Each cell touches basement membrane; lines trachea | Pseudostratofied epithelium | 8 | |
| 4785293512 | Specialized for secretory activity; may be grouped into glands; may secrete into ducts, blood, and body surface | Simple cuboidal epithelium | 9 | |
| 4785293513 | Saliva, digestive juice, hormones | Examples of secretion | 10 | |
| 4785529899 | Most abundant in body; multiple types, appearances, functions; few cells in intercellular matrix | Connective tissue | 11 | |
| 4785529900 | Areolar, adipose, fibrous, bone, cartilage, blood | Types of connective tissue | 12 | |
| 4785529901 | Glue that holds organs together; most widely distributed | Areolar | 13 | |
| 4785529902 | Lipid storage is primary dunction | Adipose (fat) | 14 | |
| 4785529903 | Bundles of strong collagen fibers (no stretch) | Fibrous | 15 | |
| 4785529904 | Matrix is calcified; function is support and protection | Bone | 16 | |
| 4785529905 | Matrix is consistency of gristle like gel; chondrocyte is the cell type | Cartilage | 17 | |
| 4785529906 | Matrix is fluid; functions are transportation and protection | Blood | 18 | |
| 4785529907 | Forms blood cells and lymphatic system cells | Hematopoietic/hemopoietic | 19 | |
| 4785529908 | Fight off infection | White blood cells | 20 | |
| 4785529909 | Transport oxygen | Red blood cells | 21 | |
| 4785529910 | Attaches to bone; called striated or voluntary; control is voluntary; striations apparent when viewed under a microscope | Skeletal muscle tissue | 22 | |
| 4785529911 | Also called striated or involuntary; composes heart wall; ordinarily can not control contractions | Cardiac muscle tissue | 23 | |
| 4785529912 | Called nonstriated (visceral) or involuntary; no cross striations; found in blood vessels and other tube-shaped organs | Smooth muscle tissue | 24 | |
| 4785529913 | Function is rapid communication between body structures and control of body functions | Nervous tissue | 25 | |
| 4785529914 | Conduction cells | Neurons | 26 | |
| 4785529915 | 2 types of processes that all neurons have | Axon and dendrite | 27 | |
| 4785529916 | Carries nerve impulse away from cell body | Axon (one) | 28 | |
| 4785529917 | Carries nerve impulse toward the cell body | Dendrite (one or more) | 29 | |
| 4785529918 | Supportive and connecting cells | Glia (neuroglia) | 30 | |
| 4785538071 | Usually accomplished by means of regeneration of tissue | Tissue repair | 31 | |
| 4785538072 | Tissues that regenerate easily | Epithelial and connective tissues | 32 | |
| 4785538073 | Limited abilities to repair themselves | Muscle and nervous tissues | 33 | |
| 4785544641 | Unusually thick scar that develops in the lower layer of the skin | Keloid | 34 | |
| 4785544642 | Dense fibrous mass of cells that replaces normal tissue during healing | Scar | 35 |
