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