Term
simple squamous epithelium
Definition
function: allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae
Term
simple squamous epithelium
Definition
location: air sacs of lungs, lymphatic vessels, lining of ventral body cavity, lining of heart or blood vessels
Term
simple cuboidal epithelium
Definition
function: secretion and absorption
Term
simple cuboidal epithelium
Definition
location: kidney tubules, ovary surface
Term
stratified squamous epithelium
Definition
function: protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
Term
stratified squamous epithelium
Definition
location: moist linings of mouth, esophagus, vagina; forms EPIDERMIS of skin, a dry membrane
Term
simple columnar epithelium
Definition
function: absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus
Term
simple columnar epithelium
Definition
location: lines most of the DIGESTIVE tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, small intestine
Term
connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, areolar
Definition
function: wraps and cushions organs; macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays important role in inflammation; holds and conveys tissue fluid
Term
connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, areolar
Definition
location: widely distributed under epithelia of body , e.g., forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries
Term
connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, adipose
Definition
function: provides reserve fuel; insulates against heat loss; supports and protects organs
Term
connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, adipose
Definition
location: under skin; around kidneys and eyeballs: within abdomen; in breasts
Term
connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense regular
Definition
function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bone to bone; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction
Term
connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense regular
Definition
location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
Term
connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense irregular
Definition
function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength
Term
connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense irregular
Definition
location: dermis of the skin; fibrous capsules of organs and joints
Term
cartilage: hyaline
Definition
function: supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress
Term
cartilage: hyaline
Definition
location: forms most embryonic skeleton; covers ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx
Term
cartilage: elastic
Definition
function: maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
Term
cartilage: elastic
Definition
location: supports the external ear; epiglottis
Term
cartilage: fibrocartilage
Definition
function: tensile strength with the ability to absorb comprehensive shock
Term
cartilage: fibrocartilage
Definition
location: intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint
Term

Term
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Definition
[image]
Term
pseudostratified epithelium
Definition
location: trachea, upper respiratory tract
Term
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Definition
function: secrete substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
Term
transitional epithelium
Definition
function: stretches readily, permits stored urine to distend urinary organ
Term
transitional epithelium
Definition
location: lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra.
Term
connective tissue: blood
Definition

Definition
contained within blood vessels
Term

Definition
function: voluntary movement, locomotion; manipulation of environment; facial expression; voluntary control
Term
skeletal muscle tissue
Definition
location: attached to bone or occasionally to skin
Term
smooth muscle tissue
Definition
function: propels substances or objects along internal passageways; involuntary control
Term
smooth muscle tissue
Definition
location: mostly in the walls of hollow organs
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
function: as it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation, involuntary control
Term
