Term
Epithelial tissue (more in depth)
Definition

named for shape

  • squamous (flattened)
  • cuboidal(cubed)
  • columnar (column)

named for number of layers 

simple (one layer for diffusion/absorbson)

stratified (seveal layer for protection)

Term

Connective tissue (more in depth)

 

Definition

cells secrete matrix (protein fibres -collagen,elastic,recticular-) and a ground substance (water, protein, molecules)

connective tissue proper 

  • areolar connective (loose fiberous-between muscles and surronds organs)
  • adipose(fat, loose fiberous-protect and insulate)
  • dense connective tissue (ligiments, tendents-connect bones and muscles)
Term

Term
Nervous Tissue
Definition

functions in sensory input, data integration and motor output 

 

  • neurons (nerve cells -generate and conduct nerve impulses -composed of dendrites, cell body, axon)
  • Neuroglia (service and support neurons)
