Matching Pairs Flashcards - TissuesOnline version Flashcards - Tissues by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Structure: Cells with jelly like material and with spindly fibers 2 Examples: brain, sensory receptors, nerves, and spinal cord 3 Function: Type of tissue that transmits nerve impulses (information) throughout the body 4 Function: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts 5 Examples: Ligament, Cartilage, bone, tendon, blood 6 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Dependent variable 7 Specialized group of similar cells that work together to perform a function 8 Function: A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move. 9 Examples: Skin, outer layer of organs, lining of tubes, body cavities 10 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Independent variable 11 Function: Covers the body surface and organs like a wall to keep the inside and outside separate. 12 Structure: Long and slender like a wire so that electrical impulses can travel along it quickly 13 Examples: Skeletal (biceps, triceps), cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth (organ muscles) 14 Structure: Cells that are tightly packed and have a definite top and bottom that is very strong. 15 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Not a variable. 16 How is the type of tissue effected by the number of cells it contains? Controlled variable 17 Structure: Contains long & narrow cells that allow them to pull like a rubber band.
