define tissue

a group of cells of similar type that work together to serve a

common function

TERM 2

what are the four primary tissues?

DEFINITION 2

epithelial, connective, muscle , nervous

TERM 3

define epithelial

DEFINITION 3

covers the body surfaces ; lines cavities and organs; forms

glands

TERM 4

define connective tissue

DEFINITION 4

provides support and protection for organs; serves as a

storage for fat; participants in our immunity

TERM 5

define muscle tissue

DEFINITION 5

responsible for body movement; & fluids through the body

define nervous tissue

conducts nerve impulses through the body

TERM 7

what are the three basic shapes of epithelial

cells?

DEFINITION 7

squamous , cuboidal, columnar

TERM 8

define simple squamous epithelial

DEFINITION 8

flattened cells, allows for diffusion of materials and can

provide a slick surface to reduce friction ; lining of heart and

blood vessels, air sacs of lungs

TERM 9

define stratified squamous epithelial

DEFINITION 9

multiple layers of flattened cells, protection against abrasion,

infection, and drying out; lining of mouth esophagus and

vagina and outer layer of the skin

TERM 10

define simple cuboidal epithelial

DEFINITION 10

cube shaped cells; secretion, and absorption, kidney cells

define adipose tissue

under skin, around kidneys and heart ; stores energy ,

insulates , cushions organs (loose connective tissue)

TERM 17

define connective tissue

DEFINITION 17

tightly woven tissues, found in ligaments , tendons , and the

dermis (bone and muscle are attached)

TERM 18

define cartilage

DEFINITION 18

tough but flexible , serves as a cushion between bones ;

lacks blood vessels and nerves

TERM 19

what are the three types of flexibility?

DEFINITION 19

hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage

TERM 20

what is hyaline cartilage?

DEFINITION 20

ends of long bones and parts of the ribs, nose, trachea,

bronchi, and larynx; support and flexibility; smooth surface

for joint movement

what is elastic cartilage?

flexible, elastic fibers, external ear and the epiglottis

TERM 22

what is fibrocartilage?

DEFINITION 22

withstand pressure, discs in the intervertebral spaces and the

knee joints

TERM 23

what is bone?

DEFINITION 23

supports and protects internal movements; facilitates

movement; stores lipids(in yellow marrow) , calcium , and

phosphorus , produces blood cells (in red marrow)

TERM 24

define skeletal muscle tissue

DEFINITION 24

obvious striations , multiple nuclei per cell

TERM 25

define voluntary

DEFINITION 25

attaches muscle to bones for voluntary movement of body

what are tight junctions?

leak proof seal; found between cell lining the urinary and

digestive tracts

TERM 32

what are adhesion junctions?

DEFINITION 32

allows for stretching of cells without coming apart; allows for

cells to slide slightly relative to each other , found between

skin cells

TERM 33

what are gap junctions?

DEFINITION 33

have small holes connecting the cytoplasma of adjacent cells

; allow for exchange of ions between cells ; rapid

communication of electrical impulses in cardiac cells

synchronizing electrical activity thus contraction; found

between cardiac muscle cells

TERM 34

define membrane

DEFINITION 34

sheets of empithelium supported by connective tissues

TERM 35

the four types of tissues

DEFINITION 35

mucous, serous, synovial, cutaneous(skin)

define ventral cavity

thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, the diaphragm separates

them; anterior; front of body

TERM 37

define dorsal cavity

DEFINITION 37

cranial cavity(encloses the brain), spinal cavity (houses the

spinal cord) posterior back of body

TERM 38

what are the A B C D signs of malignant and

melanoma?

DEFINITION 38

A- asymentry ; B= border irregularity ; C= color variation ;

D= diameter larger than a pencil
