Ch 5 Review Tissues

Major Tissues What tissue’s job is to coordinate, regulate, integrate, transmit information, and sensory reception? It can be found in the brain and spinal cord… NERVOUS TISSUE

Major Tissue What tissue’s job is to protect, secrete, absorb, and excrete? It does not have many blood vessels. Its cells are tightly packed, and can reproduce very quickly. It covers the body surface, lines internal organs, and makes-up glands… EPITHELIAL TISSUE

Major Tissue What tissue’s job is to cause movement? It can be found in the walls of hollow organs and attached to bones… MUSCLE TISSUE

Major Tissue What tissue’s job is to bind, support, protect, fill in empty space, store energy as fat, and make blood cells? It can be found all over the body. An example is a tendon… CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Minor Tissues What type of tissue is made up of many layers of flat, pancake-like cells? It can be found on you palms and inside your mouth. Its job is to protect you… STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What type of tissue is made up of many layers of cube-like and elongated cells...maybe- shape changes depending upon how distended the organ is? Its job is to allow distention and protection. It can be found in the bladder, ureters, and urethra… TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to bind the skin to the body? It can be found beneath skin and between muscles. It has many blood vessels and is loosely packed… LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to move things through organs? It has no striations… SMOOTH MUSCLE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to use its cilia to sweep away mucus or egg cells? Its nuclei are at different levels, although all cells reach the basement membrane, so it looks like there is more than one layer… PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to allow flexibility? It has many yellow elastic fibers. It can be found between vertebrae, in large arteries and large airways… ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to sustain tension from many directions, be very strong? It binds body parts together. It can be found in tendons or ligaments… DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is secretion and absorption? It can be found in the kidneys, ovaries, and some glands. Its square cells are arranged in a single layer… SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to provide support and protection? Its cells produce a solid, very strong matrix that contains mineral salts. Its cells are arranged around a central canal… BONE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to provide protection, secretion, and absorption? It can be found in the stomach, intestines, and uterus. Its single layer of cells are elongated; longer than they are wide… SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What type of tissue’s job is to allow diffusion and osmosis? Because it is a single layer of flattened cells it can be easily damaged. It can be found in air sacs, blood vessels, and lymph vessels… SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to contract on command from the conscious brain? It can be found attached to bones… SKELETAL MUSCLE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job it to continuously contract without tiring? It can be found in only one location- the heart… CARDIAC MUSCLE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to store energy in the form of lipids and insulate the body?... ADIPOSE TISSUE

Minor Tissue What tissue’s job is to provide support, act as a framework, and is the structural model for many developing bones. It comes in 3 different types. It can be found on the ends of bones, in your nose, and in your outer ear… CARTILAGE
