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