A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a common function.
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Polarity, specialized contacts, supported by connective tissue, avascular but innervated, and regeneration.
The free surface exposed to the body exterior or cavity of an internal organ.
The surface attached to underlying connective tissue via the basement membrane.
The basement membrane separates epithelial tissue from underlying connective tissue.
Because epithelial tissue is avascular, it relies on connective tissue for nutrients and waste removal.
Number of cell layers and shape of cells.
A single layer of cells.
Multiple layers of cells stacked on top of each other.
Flat and scale-like cells.
Cube-shaped cells, approximately as tall as they are wide.
Tall, column-shaped cells.
Allows diffusion and filtration; found in air sacs of lungs and lining of blood vessels.
Because all cells contact the basement membrane despite appearing layered.
It can stretch and change shape; it is stratified.
Protection against abrasion; multiple layers provide durability.
A structure that produces and secretes substances.
Endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood; exocrine glands secrete onto body surfaces or cavities.
Goblet cell; secretes mucus.
Secretory cells form tubes; example: intestinal glands.
Secretory cells form sacs; example: sebaceous glands.
Merocrine glands secrete via exocytosis; holocrine glands release by cell rupture.
Merocrine secretion is more common.
Sebaceous (oil) gland.
Connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood.
Mesenchyme.
Ground substance, fibers, and cells.
Ground substance and fibers.
Collagen (strength), elastic (stretch), reticular (support).
Collagen fibers.
To produce matrix and fibers.
Maintain the matrix.
Loose has more ground substance; dense has more fibers.
Areolar, adipose, and reticular tissues.
Dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic connective tissues.
Areolar connective tissue.
Dense irregular connective tissue.
Cartilage.
Epithelial tissue.
Blood.
Bone.
Cartilage and bone.
Hyaline cartilage.
Fibrocartilage.
Elastic cartilage.
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Long, multinucleate, striated, voluntary, attached to bones for movement.
Branched, uninucleate, striated, involuntary, found in heart walls.
Spindle-shaped, uninucleate, non-striated, involuntary, found in walls of hollow organs.
Having visible banding or stripes due to organized sarcomeres.
Skeletal and cardiac muscle.
Neurons and neuroglia (supporting cells).
Neurons.
Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Epithelium and underlying connective tissue.
Skin; dry membrane.
Lines cavities open to exterior; wet membrane.
Lines closed body cavities; wet membrane.
Mucous membrane.
Serous membrane.
Cutaneous membrane.
Serous membranes.
Replacement of damaged tissue with the same tissue type restoring normal function.
Replacement of damaged tissue with scar tissue, which does not restore normal function.
Regeneration.
Epithelial tissues, bone, areolar connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and blood-forming tissue.
Inflammation, organization, regeneration and fibrosis.
