(36 cards)

simple columnar epithelium

Front

Made up of a single layer of tall cells that fit closely together

Back

Oblique section

Front

cuts made diagonally between the horizontal and the vertical planes

Back

Cross section

Front

tissue cut perpendicular to the length of an organ

Back

Mesoderm

Front

middle germ layer; develops into muscles, and much of the circulatory, reproductive, and excretory systems

Back

Columnar

Front

column shaped

Back

Epithelial tissue

Front

Sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities

Back

Simple epithelium

Front

single layer of cells

Back

Simple squamous function

Front

diffusion and filtration

Back

Adipocytes

Front

large round cells filled mainly with a droplet of triglyceride, which forces the nucleus and cytoplasm to occupy only a thin layer beneath the plasma membrane. Clusters of these cells compose fat tissue.

Back

3 types of muscle tissue

Front

skeletal, cardiac, smooth

Back

3 types of connective tissue fibers

Front

collagen, elastic, reticular

Back

Embryonic tissue

Front

ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm

Back

4 tissue classes

Front

epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular

Back

simple cuboidal epithelium

Front

single layer of cube shaped cells

Back

location of simple squamous epithelium

Front

Kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, lining of ventral body cavity

Back

Squamous

Front

flat, like an egg

Back

Characteristics of the Matrix

Front

Rubbery, stony, gelatinous

Back

Histology

Front

study of tissues

Back

stratified epithelium

Front

Multiples tiers of cells.

Back

Fibroblasts

Front

large, flat cells that often appear tapered at the ends. They produce the fibers and ground substance that form the matrix of the tissue.

Back

Ectoderm

Front

outermost germ layer; produces sense organs, nerves, and outer layer of skin

Back

Plasma cells

Front

these cells synthesize disease fighting proteins called antibodies. Can be seen in the intestines and areas of inflamation

Back

function of simple columnar epithelium

Front

absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action

Back

simple squamous epithelium

Front

single layer of flattened cells

Back

Organ

Front

A body structure that is composed of different kinds of tissues that work together.

Back

location of simple cuboidal epithelium

Front

Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface

Back

location of simple columnar epithelium

Front

Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.

Back

Basement membrane

Front

Cells at the base of an epithelial layer are attached to this.

Back

endoderm

Front

the inner germ layer that develops into the lining of the digestive and respiratory systems

Back

Longitudinal Section

Front

a plane along the long axis of an organ

Back

function of simple cuboidal epithelium

Front

secretion and absorption

Back

Cuboidal

Front

cube shaped

Back

Mast cells

Front

these cells can be found alongside blood vessels, secretes a chemical heparin that inhibits blood clotting

Back

Leukocytes

Front

WBC which travel in the bloodstream, crawl through capillary walls in search of bacteria, toxins and other foreign material.

Back

Tissue sectioning

Front

Different ways to observe a tissue sample

Back

Macrophages

Front

phagocytic cells that wander through the connective tissue search, engulf and destroying foreign material, bacteria and dead/dying cells. They also activate the immune system when antigens are detected.
