152292243224 types of tissueepithelial, connective, muscle, nervous0
15229259285connective tissueA body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts -cells suspend in matrix -cartilage -elastic -hyaline1
15229299348tendonsattach muscles to bone2
15229314273aponeurosismuscles to muscle3
15229319666ligamentsattach bone to bone -found only in joints -hold bones together4
15229349794cartilageA connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and that protects the ends of bones and keeps them from rubbing together. -fibrocartilage (vertabra discs)5
15229517542fibrocartliage ringpulpy nucleus maade of chondrocytes, collagen fibrils, and proteoglycan aggrecans.6
15229533596elastic cartilageear, nose epiglottis -change shape and comeback to original shape7
15229557954hyaline cartilagejoints, ribcage, trachea, bronchi, larynx, growth plates, growth plates8
15229609455Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysisoccurs when the head of the femur becomes displaced due to a separation at the growth plate9
15229618963adipose (fat)used for heat (insulation)10
15229623234sclerawhite of the eye11
15229657168muscle tissueA body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move.12
15229663556smooth muscle tissueInvoluntary muscle is found in digestive tract, blood vessels, respiratory tract, reproductive system -95% of this in uterus13
15229681883digestive tractmoves food through14
15229704207striated muscle tissueskeletal and cardiac -voluntary15
15229715563cardiac muscleInvoluntary muscle tissue found only in the heart. contains intercalated discs and desmosomes16
15229729882intercalated discsnervous tissue for two-way conduction for the electrical impulse-connexons which are tubular proteins -skeletal muscle doesn't have this17
15229785409desmosomesepithelial tissue as tight junctions to anchor the muscle fibers together.18
15229814422nervous tissuedentrites and axons.19
15230140298exocytosisdumps content20
15230144653myelin sheath-insulates axon -allows nerve transition -without, will slow down reaction -damage to this will cause multiple scorosis21
15230169231epithelial tissuean avascular tissue with little or no nerve supply, composed of a sheet of cells in which the cells are in direct contact with one another (NO INTERVENING MATRIX) with some or all of the cells standing on a basement membrane. -either simple or stratified22
15230215132simple epiteliathe layer of cells is one cell thick. All the cells stand on the basement membrane23
15230225485stratified epitheliathe layer of cells is more than one cell thick. Only the inner of innermost layer stands on the basement membrane24
15230265004basal layerthe inner or innermost layer of the cells in stratified epithelia25
15230293264skinepidermis and dermis26
15230309596stratum corneumoutermost layer of epidermis27
15230313559stratum basalisdeepest layer of epidermis28
15230433694excretory systemtransitional epithelium (urinary bladder)29
15230445303transitional epithliumlines the urinary bladder and parts of the uterus and urethra -stretchy30
15273294448endotheliumlining of blood vessels31
15273301647simple tubular glandintestinal glands32
15273310798simple branched acinar glandsebaceous glands (oil producer in skin)33
15273406055types of glandular secretionmerocrine, apocrine, holocrine -how a gland secretes its contents34
15273408143merocrinea cell is classified as merocrine if the secretions of that cell are excreted via exocytosis from secretory vesciles35
15273416444apocrinecells which are classified as apocrine BUD their secretions off through the plasma membrane prodicing membrane bound vesicles in the lumen36
15273424868holocrineare produced within the cell followed by the rupture of the plasma membrane thus releasing the contents into the lumen37
15273437328integumentskin -protects against invasion of bacteria and other stuff -protects against dehydration -helps with waste removal38
15273440119keratinaseonly thing that can breach the skin39
15273447633epidermismost outer layer of the layers of skin40
15273475383cyanosisblue skin due to lack of oxygen -happens when very cold (most of the times in lips)41
15273482837capilariesinvolved in thermal regulatin42
15273484071red skindue to dilation and increased blood flow to the capalaries43
15273490035touch receptorsallows touch sense44
15273492118arrector pilli musclemakes hair stand up -controls position in hair45
15273511210dermistrue layer; contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles46
15273513379hypodermisthe layer of skin beneath the dermis, which serves as a storage repository for fat47
15273520136hair root plexuscan tell if each hair is moved -allows sense in hair48
15273527130lamellatedsense pressure and fast vibration49
