Tissue Cells for A&P Lab Practical By: Michael Villari

Rules! Each slide will have a picture of a type of cell and each time you click, a hint will be revealed. Try to guess it right before revealing it! Thanks to Dr. Anderson for the information!

Contain very few cells in a non-living matrix Contains fibers: Elastin Collagen Areolar Connective Tissue

Cardiac Muscle Striated type of muscle. Involuntary Relatively few nuclei Contain intercalated disks (Hard to spot!)

Possess little hairs Hairs are called cilia Ciliated Columnar Cells Cells are tall and thin

The cells of this tissue are trapped in a hard matrix Tissue contains small holes for blood vessels Compact Bone Tissue

Contains chondrocytes in lacunae This tissue provides support Hyaline Cartilage (Only cartilage on the practical according to Dr. A)

Cell membranes and nuclei are on the border Almost entirely… Fat! Adipose Tissue

These cells are branching and used for communication Contains a dark, central nuclei called a… Dendrite! Nerve Tissue

Contains few cells Collagen forms long strands of tissue Arranged in a wavy pattern Regular Dense Connective Tissue

Flat and wide cells (Fried Egg) Occur in a single layer Simple Squamous

Start as cuboidal or columnar cells End as stratified squamous Stratified Epithelia

Striations are prominent in this muscle type Has more nuclei Does NOT contain any intercalated disks! Skeletal Muscle

NO striations! This is a type of muscle that is involuntary Contains narrow fibers Smooth Muscle

Cells are contained in a liquid matrix! This matrix is called plasma These cells come in two colors… Blood Cells
