Tissues

surface tissues that cover and line body surfaces

offer protection and regulate movement of materials from one place to another

underlying tissues usually covered by the epithelium

have a variety of functions including support, protection, and assisting the process of system interaction

tissue involved in the movement of the body

controls other body tissue through electrical impulses

structure in the body with a distinct shape and function

organs that are grouped together

numerous cells that are closely packed together with almost no space between the cells

helps to hold the epithelium on to the tissue below

hair like structures that extend from the surface of a cell

folds in the plasma membrane

mucus producing glands

composed of epithelial tissues

produce hormones, gland with no duct leading out of the gland to deliver secretion

have ducts that lead to the epithelial surface to deliver the secretion

sends only secretion through duct, no portion of gland will be found during secretion

lose a small portion of the cell with the secretion

lose entire glandular cell with secretion

pliable connective tissues

rigid connective tissues

liquid tissues

material that fills the space between the cells

thick protein bands that provide a great deal of strength to the tissue but resisting stretch

thinner protein strands that stretch

form the crystalline matrix of the bone

forms the end of the nose, ends of the ribs, surface of the bones, and the fetal skeleton

forms the invertebral disks of the spine

contains elastic fibers as well as collaben, flexible, forms part of the outer ears

other variety of support connective tissue

solid bone on the outside of the skeleton

tissue composed of small bone units

tunnel at the center of the osteon containing blood vessels

several concentric rings that surrounds the haversian canal
