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