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