25
It is a spindle shaped cell found in the walls of visceral organs and it has no striations.
Smooth Tissue
26
It is striated and involuntary. It has a lot of nuclei and has cross striation and unique dark bands.
Cardiac muscle
27
It binds together various parts of the body to give form and support. It is characterized by the presence of extracellular matrix. (It is the most diverse and abundant tissue)
Connective Tissue
28
It is a non living material composed of protein fibers and ground substance
Extracellular Matrix
29
This has a lot of starchy strands called glycosaminoglycans or GAGs and it gives strength and flexibility
Protein fibers
30
It supports the cells and fibers. It is also where cartilage, bone tendon, ligament and adipose tissue are found
Ground substance
31
What are the types of protein fibers?
Collagen, Elastic Fiber, Reticular
32
It is a protein fiber that is strong
Collagen
33
It is a protein fiber that is thinner and can be stretched.
Elastic Fiber
34
It is a protein fiber that is finer than collagen and its spongy
Reticular
35
What are the kinds of connective tissue?
Proper connective tissue Cartilage Bone/Osseous Tissue Blood/Vascular Tissue
36
It is a type of proper connective tissue that is loosely arranged fibro-elastic tissue. It has amorphous ground substance with hold coagulable tissue fluids. It binds muscle and fills space between organs.
Loose or Areolar connective tissue
37
It is tightly packed collagen. example is a tendon. What type of Proper connective tissue is this.
Dense connective tissue
38
This is a proper connective tissue that has clear oval cells for insulation and fuel storage. The nucleus are pushed to the side by a globule.
Adipose or Fat tissue
39
This is found at the ends of long bones and ribs. It is bluish white and it is rich in GAGs. It is more common than fibrous elastic cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage Hyal = glass (bluish white)
40
It has cartilage cells and has lacunae or small cavities. It is also scattered through the chondrin matrix
Chondrocytes
41
It is a dense organic matrix and it has mineral deposit of calcium carbonate and tricalcium phosphate.
Bone or Osseous Tissue
42
What are the 2 types of bone tissues?
Compact bone and spongy or calcareous bones
43
It is a bone tissue that is solid and found externally. It is dense and has no space in between.
Compact Bone
44
It is a bone tissue that is composed of lattice work of short bars and plate. It is found internally
Spongy Or Calcareous Bone Tissue
45
What are the parts of the bone?
``` Lamella Periosteum Haversian System Lacunae Canaliculi ```
46
It is a part of the bone tissue that has thin layer where other non living mineral substances are deposited
Lamella
47
It is the outermost covering of the bones and it is where muscles and tendons are attached.
Periosteum
48
It is a part of the bone that longitudinally providing channels for blood vessels
Haversian System
49
It is small spaces found in the bone cell
Lacunae
50
It composed of fine radiating canals that connects bone cell with adjacent cells
Canaliculi
51
It is composed of cells and extracellular matrix. It is also a tissue for transporting nutrients all over your body
Blood or vascular tissue
52
It is a fluid substance where specialized cells are embedded.
Plasma
53
What are the types of blood cells?
RBC WBC and Thrombocytes
54
It has numerous disk shaped cells with no nuclei. The red color is because of the hemoglobin and it is used for transporting oxygen and carry waste materials
RBC
55
It is lesser in number and bigger in size. It is used in the immune system
WBC
56
It is the smallest WBC with large rounded nuclei
Lymphocytes
57
It is the largest WBC and it is centrally places nucleus shaped like a kidney
Monocytes
58
It is the granules found in the cytoplasm and it is also called as neutrophil (most numerous WBC) that has 3 or more lobes
Granulocytes
59
I has 2 oval lobes connected by thin chromatin thread and basophil
Eosinophile
60
It is a type of blood cell that is responsible for blood clotting and it is also known as Platelets (an annucleated cell fragments)
Thrombocytes
61
It is a type of animal tissue that controls and is responsible for communication. It transmits stimuli and exhibits irritability
Nervous system
62
It is a cell body containing the nucleus and cytoplasmic extension dendrite)
Neuron
63
IT carries impulse towards the cell body
Dendrite
64
It is a nucleated cell membrane that covers the axon cylinder
Myelin Shath
65
It supports, nourishes and protects neurons. It is capable of mitosis
