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