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