24
Endocrine
Glands that have no duct and secrete hormones directly into blood
25
Exocrine
Glands that secrete by way if duct to body surface or body cavity
26
2 types of unicellular glands that secrete mucus
Mucus cells and goblet cells
27
Connective tissue is made up of
Extra cellular matrix
28
Three types of connective tissue
Collagen fibers Elastic fibers Reticular fibers
29
Collagen fibers
Give tensile strength (stretch)
30
Elastic fibers
allow stretch and recoil
31
Reticular fibers
Form supportive networks around blood vessels and other structures
32
Four main classes of connective tissue
Connective tissue proper Cartilage Bone Blood
33

Involuntary
63
Two types of nervous tissue
Neurons | Nuerolgicx
64
Neurons
Generate and conduct nerve impulses
65
Nuerolgic
Support, insulate, and protect neurons
66
3 membranes
Cutaneous membrane Mucous membrane Serous membrane
67
Cutaneous membrane
Largest membrane of the body, covers body surface, dry membrane
68
Mucous membrane
Line body cavities that are open to exterior; moist membranes
69
Serous membrane
Line body cavities that are closed to exterior and outer surface of some organs
70
Cutaneous membrane example
Skin
71
Mucous membrane example
Respiratory, digestive tracts
72
Serous membrane examples
Pericardium, pleura, peritoneumfunction
73
Cutaneous membrane function
Protects body
74
Mucous membrane function
Secrete lubricating mucus
75
Serous membrane function
Serous fluid to reduce friction
76
Parietal serosae
Lines internal body cavity walls
77
Visceral serosae
Covers internal organs
78
Tissue repair: regeneration
Replaced by original kind of tissue | Original function restored
79
Tissue repair: fibrosis
Replaced by connective tissue (scars) | Original function lost
