Even distribution across the organism. Protection and lining of the body and internal organs. Pseadostratified Ciliated Columnar e. N/A One layer of cells oriented vertically at different heights. These cells contain cilia. Cilia moves the mucous. Lining the nasal passage and lubricating that region. Cuboidal Cells N/A Cells organized into a radial pattern creating a cavity. No Basement mebrane N/A Formation of glands and lining of kidneys. Stratified columnar e. N/A Several layers of vertically oriented cells. N/A N/A Lines the inner surface of some organs, usually providing extra protection. Stratified squamous e. N/A Many cell layers oriented horizontally. These cells reproduce quickly and densely. N/A Provide extra layering and quickly cell reproduction in specialized organs and reions of the skin. Simple squamous e. N/A Thin layer or horizontal cells. These cells are designed to let materials pass through by diffusion. Difussion of chemcials and nutrients. To provide a thin tissue membrane. Simple columnar e. N/A One layer of cells oriented vertically. Secrete digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients. Digestion in the intestines. Digestion. 2 Connective Tissue Skeletal System Even distribution across the organism. Support and connect the body Bone Osteon (Haversian System), Central Canal, and Matrix Polar unit containing herdened minerals: calcium, hydroxyapatite, phophorous, and magnisium. Osteoblasts form a cylindrical matrix. Provide small units of support Support for complete structures Loose c. Elastic, Recticular, Collagenous, Macrophage Cells in a loose mesh containing each cell fiber around the bone. They clear up the area around bone, and they follow the motion of the muscle and bone by connection. Digest dead cells by phagocytosis. It binds epithila to bones and other material. It also holds organs in place. Fibrous c. Fibroblasts Dense mesh of parallel cells Forms a nonelastic strength Formation of the tendons and the ligaments Nonelstic stability Cartilage Chondrocytes Chondrocytes secrting chondroitin Rubbery and elstic Provide form and structure without bone Structure that does not require bone for support. Blood White b. cells, red b. cells, and platelets. Free-flowing liquid in the veins and vessels of an organism. Transport of oxygen, immune defenses, etc. Imunization of the body and distribution of oxygen from the lungs. Circulate nutrients, etc. Adipose tissue N/A Random configuration of cells in a tissue layer. Contains a fat droplet Storage of fat for body fuel. Storage of fat for body fuel. 3 Nervous Tissue Nervous System Even distribution across the organism. Transmit signals N/A (All are neurons.) N/A Linear and polar string of neurons Dendrites to transmit signals and axons to induce a spcial cell response Transmit signals quickly Trasnmission of information from the cephalized core--usually the brain--to another part of the body. 4 Muscle Tissue Around the skeletal system, pulminary system, and the cardiovascular system. Around the Skeletal System--primarily. Movement Skeletal Muscle Muscle Fiber Parallel cells Contractile units that cause the movement of the muscle in response to a nerve command. To move the bones so that the organism can move. Movement Cardiac Muscle Muscle Fiber Parallel connected cells--via an interlaced disc Interlaced discs to ensure a synchonized heartbeat Pump blood through the heart Pump Blood Smooth Muscle Muscle Fibers Parallel cells without straitions for contraction Smooth and found in organs Special movement of tissues not by muscle-nerve signals Part of the digestive tract 121 1200 1200 3 8 1 R9C2:R14C2 False False
