25
Where triglycerides lipids accumulate
Adipose
26
Burns its fuel to produce heat when the body is cold
Brown fat
27
The fat we have in our body (bad)
White fat
28
Building blocks that make up the compact bone
Osteons
29
Dense solids form of bone tissue that make up the outer walls of bones in the skeleton
Compact bone
30
Bone cells
Osteocytes
31
Chaotic lattice of branching beams; interconnected hollow spaces that look like a sponge
Cancellous bone or spongy bone
32
The three major types of cartilage
Hyaline, fibrocartikage, and elastic cartilage
33
Three three major types of cartilage
Hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage
34
Hyaline cartilage;
Most common type, translucent glasslike appearance, and forms models of bone in the skeleton before birth
35
Fibrocartilage
Strongest and most durable type of cartilage, the matrix is filled with dense packing of strong collagen fibers
36
Elastic cartilage
Few collagen fibers but elastic fibers that make the matrix flexible while still providing support
37
38
Located in red bone marrow, it does blood cell formation; liquid matrix with a ton of blood cells
Hematopoietic
39
In blood vessels, liquid matrix , does transportation
Blood
40
Dense cord like bands that connect muscle to bones
Tendons
41
Movement specialist of the body, higher degree of contractility, provide body heat and stability
Muscle cells
42
Three types of muscle cells
Skeletal, cardiac and smooth
43
Slow to heal and often replaced by fibrous scar tissues
Muscle tissues
44
Striated voluntary muscle
Skeletal muscle tissue
45
Cardiac muscle tissue
Produce heartbeat, involuntary and lines wall of the heart, branches
46
Smooth muscle tissues
Involuntary, no striations, one nucleus, forms the wall of blood vessels and hollow organs (intestines)
47
Nervous tissue
Controls body function and coordinate communication between body structures to mantain homeostasis
48
What type of cells do the nervous tissues contain
Neurons and glia/neiroglia
49
Impulse conducting units of the nervous tissue
Neurons
50
All neurons r characterized by cell body and two processes which are?
Axon and dendrites
51
Transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body
Axon
52
Carry impulses towards the body
Dendrites
53
Cardiac muscle tissues have faint crosses and thicker dark bands called
intercalated discs
54
Which epithelial tissue forms tubules or other groupings
Cuboidal
55
Which muscle types are involuntary
Cardiac and smooth
56
Where is south muscle tissues located
Found in walls of blood vessels liquid matrix
57
Transitional epithelium is found in body areas
Subjected to stress
58
Protein that forms microspic twisted ropes within the matrix of many tissues and gives a flexible strength
Collagen
59
Cillia from this type of epithelium move mucus along the lining surface of the trachea
Pseudostratified
60
Also called visceral muscle
Smooth
61
What is the glue of the connective tissue that keeps all the organs of the body together
Loose fibrous connective tissue
62
Cartilage cells are called
chondrocytes
63
64
What tissue is fascia primarily made up of
Connective tissue
65
What tissues doesn’t contain no blood supply
Epithelial
66
What makes transitional diffrent from the rest of the epithelial tissues
Is has no simple layer, just stratified
67
Where is simple epithelial located
Lines the lungs, blood, and lympathic vessels
68
Function of simple squamous
Diffusion; osmosis, and filtration
69
Lines internal mucus membranes, surface lining of the mouth. Esophagus and the epidermis
Stratified squamous
70
Forms tubules and secretory activity and does not form protection; found in kidney, liver
Simple cuboidal
71
Found in inner living of the stomach intestines, respiratory tract, nuclei at bottom
Simple columnar Epithelium
72
Function is absorption (microvilli and cilia, and goblet cells)
Simple columnar
73
Lines the trachea (windpipe), nuclei is scattered, has goblet cells and function is protection
Pseudostratified
