Term
Epithelial Tissue
Definition
Skin
Term
[image]These cells perform secretion and absorbtion.
Definition
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue.
Term
Endocrine Glands
Definition
Secretes hormones directly into blood stream without ducts.
Term
[image]this epithelial tissue is found on the epidermis, vagina, and mouth. It helps protect against infection and waterloss.
Definition
Stratified squamous epithelial tissue
Term
Serous Membrane
Definition
Lines cavities that don't open outside.
Term
This epithelial tissue line ducts and sweat glands and the male urethra.It looks like two rows of cube stacked on top of eachother.
Definition
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
Term
Hyaline Cartilage
Definition
Glassy, pourus cartilage.
Term
Monocyte
Definition
A form of a white blood cell.
Term

These cells can contract and expand.

Transitional Epithelial Tissue

Term
Macrophages
Definition
A type of white blood that ingests (takes in) foreign material. Macrophages are key players in the immune response to foreign invaders such as infectious microorganisms.
Term
Fibroblasts
Definition
Cells that produce fibers.
Term
Vitamin D Synthesis
Definition
Sunlight reacts with cholestrol molecules in the second layer.
Term
Collagen
Definition
Fibers that make up most structures. They are non-elastic.
Term
Fibro Cartilage
Definition
As in the meniscus. It can take a lot of pressure.
Term
Synovial Membrane
Definition
Lines joint capsule.
Term
Adipocyte
Definition
Fat Cell
Term
Exocrine Glands
Definition
Secrete enzymes into ducts
Term

[image]this

tissue is responsible for secreting mucous, and the nuclei are sporatic. It is usually cilliated. 

Definition
Psudostratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue
Term
Three types of muscle
Definition
Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac.
Term
Mucous Membrane
Definition
Lines cavities open to the outside
Term
Articular Cartilage
Definition
The cartilage at the end of bones. It is smooth.
Term
Eccrine Sweat Glands
Definition
They don't regulate temperature, and create oder.
Term
Reticular Region
Definition
Less matrix connective tissue.
Term
Meninges Membrane
Definition
A membrane that protects the nervous system.
Term
Papillary Region
Definition
Loose connective tissue in the dermis with lots of elastin.
Term
Elastin
Definition
Connective fibers that make tissues elastic.
Term
Elastic Cartilage
Definition
In the ear. If you pull and twist, it moves right back.
Term
Basement Membrane
Definition
[image]A membrane between the epidemis and dermis that anchors down the epidermis, blocks out malignant cells, and provides nutrients because the epithelial is avascular.
Term
[image]
Definition
Simple Squamous epithelial tissue
Term
Mast Cells
Definition
An Anti-coagulant. They produce histamine and heparin.
Term
Melanocytes
Definition
Cells in the epidermis that produce melanin.
Term
Merkals Cells
Definition
Cells that are associated with nerve endings.
Term
Merocrine
Definition
The type of sweat glands that only regulate temperature.
