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