A type of animal tissue that covers surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands. It acts as a protective barrier, regulates permeability, and provides sensation.

A type of epithelial tissue that forms a continuous layer and covers free surfaces of the body, lines inner cavities, and forms parts of sense organs.

Glands that secrete their products into ducts or cavities, such as sweat glands or salivary glands.

Glands that secrete their products directly into the bloodstream, such as the thyroid or pituitary gland.

A characteristic of epithelial tissue that means it lacks blood vessels and relies on diffusion from underlying connective tissue for nutrients.

Epithelial tissue lacks blood vessels. It relies on diffusion from the underlying connective tissue for nutrients.

Epithelial tissue has high regenerative capacity, constantly replacing lost cells.

Epithelial tissue is anchored to a supportive layer called the basement membrane.

Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells.

Stratified epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells.

Squamous epithelium cells are flattened and thin, like fish scales.

Cuboidal epithelium cells are cube-shaped, like dice.

Columnar epithelium cells are tall and column-shaped.

Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells, found in areas of diffusion and filtration.

A type of simple epithelium characterized by cube-shaped cells with centrally located spherical nuclei. These cells are involved in secretion and absorption.

A type of simple epithelium composed of tall, column-shaped cells with oval nuclei located at the base. It plays a role in absorption, secretion, and protection. It also lines the digestive tract, where it helps with nutrient absorption.

A type of epithelium characterized by a single layer of cells that appear layered due to the varying heights of the cells. The nuclei are at different levels and they are primarily involved in secretion and movement of mucus.

A type of stratified epithelium composed of multiple layers of flat, scale-like cells. Cells become increasingly flattened as they move towards the surface. It offers protection, prevents water loss, and provides a barrier against abrasions. It forms the outer layer of skin, where it is also keratinized to add more protection.

A type of stratified epithelium featuring multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. It is found in the ducts of glands and provides structural support.

A type of stratified epithelium with multiple layers of cells that can change shape depending on the degree of stretch. It allows for the stretching and distention of organs like the urinary bladder.

Specialized cells or group of cells that secrete substances outside the cell.

A type of connective tissue that is the most abundant in the body, containing a thick fluid with scattered cells that secrete protein. It connects, supports, and surrounds other tissues, forming a framework for organs.

A type of connective tissue packed with collagen fibers that provide flexibility and strength. It is found in structures like tendons and ligaments.

This type of connective tissue allows organs to expand, like the stomach and intestines.

A type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility, containing widely spaced cells surrounded by a thick matrix composed of collagen.

A specialized connective tissue that is highly vascular and plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body. It also helps fight infection.

Connective tissues form the supportive framework of organs, bind structures together, and strengthen other tissues.

Connective tissue is derived from the mesoderm, a germ layer in embryonic development.

Connective tissue is characterized by a high abundance of extracellular material, known as matrix, which surrounds the cells.

The matrix of connective tissue contains fibers like collagen and elastin, which provide structural support and elasticity.

Fibroblasts are the most common cell type in connective tissue. They are responsible for producing and maintaining the matrix.

The matrix of connective tissue can be characterized as a homogeneous, gel-like substance, providing a supportive base.

Connective tissue excels in a diverse array of functions, contributing to the structural integrity and support of the body.

Connective tissue plays a vital role in maintaining the organization and cohesion of various tissues.

Fluid that has leaked out of blood capillaries, enters lymph vessels, and is carried back to the circulatory system.

Colorless, alkaline fluid connective tissue located in lymphatic vessels; it transports excess tissue fluid to the cardiovascular system.

Special lymphatic capillaries that absorb fat molecules from the small intestine.

Tissue that has the ability to contract (shorten) when stimulated.

Long, striated fibers that are multinucleated and under voluntary control.

No striations, involuntary control, found in organs like the stomach and intestines.

Striated, but mostly involuntary control, found only in the heart.

Spontaneously active, not under conscious control, interconnected by gap junctions that allow electrical signals to spread and coordinate contractions.
