1. ______________________ The study of tissues
2. ______________________ Broad category of tissues which are capable of contraction and relaxation
3. ______________________ Broad category of tissues which are capable of binding, connecting, and integrating other
tissues – these tissues are comprised of cells which occur in an extracellular matrix
4. ______________________ Broad category of tissues made up of neurons and neuroglia
5. ______________________ Broad category of tissues which cover/line body parts – can absorb, secrete, and protect
6. ______________________ Fibrous substance which anchors epithelial cells to the tissues below
7. (A)______________________ (B)______________________ (C)______________________ Tissues made of epithelial
cells which have multiple layers of cells and are (A) tall, (B) boxy, and (C) flat in shape
8. ______________________ Tissues made of epithelial cells which have cilia but do not have uniform shape
9. (A)______________________ (B)______________________ Tissues made of epithelium which secrete substances (A)
onto the surface of epithelium through ducts, or (B) into the bloodstream
10. (A)______________________ (B)______________________ (C)______________________ Tissues made of
epithelial cells which have just one layer of cells and are (A) boxy, (B) flat, and (C) tall in shape
11. ______________________ Tissues made of epithelial cells which can stretch, like those in the bladder
12. ______________________ Nerve cell which has an axon, dendrites, and cell body
13. ______________________ Category of specialized connective tissue which includes blood and lymph
14. ______________________ Category of connective tissue which includes fat, tendons, and ligaments. Two types:
15. ____________________ Cells loosely dispersed within matrix, this tissue is found between organs. Example:
16. ______________________ Also known as fat tissue, an example of the loosely dispersed tissue
17. ______________________ Cells more closely/densely organized, this tissue is elastic and resilient
18. ______________________ Category of specialized connective tissue which includes bone and cartilage
19. ______________________ The extracellular materials in which connective tissue can be found
20. ______________________ Banding on some muscle cells, appears because of the proteins within. Two examples:
21. ______________________ Contracts involuntarily, made of branched cells – found in the heart
22. ______________________ Contracts voluntarily, made of cylindrical cells – attached to bones by tendons
23. ______________________ Contracts involuntarily, is not striated, has spindle-shaped cells – found along digestive tract
24. ______________________ Connection of cells at which communication between the cells may occur. Two types:
25. ______________________ Allows communication between the cytoplasm of related/nearby cells
26. ______________________ Forms and impermeable barrier between cells
27. ______________________ Intentional/programmed death of a cell
28. ______________________ Accidental death of a cell
29. ______________________ General response of a tissue to injury
30. ______________________ Quality of stem cells which have not differentiated – nearly limitless potential functions
31. ______________________ Innermost germ layer – epidermis and nerves derive from this layer
32. ______________________ Middle germ layer – connective tissue, muscles, and some epithelium derive from this layer
33. ______________________ Outermost germ layer – the epidermal epithelium and nerves derive from this layer
34. ______________________ Term used to describe any group of cells which have similar form and function
