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