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