front 11 HISTOLOGY SECTION | back 11 HISTOLOGY SECTION |
front 12 Histology is the study of | back 12 tissues |
front 13 A tissue is a | back 13 group of cells that act together to perform specific functions |
front 14 The 4 fundamental tissues are | back 14 Epithelial, connective, muscle & nerve tissues. |
front 15 Epithelial cells | back 15 cover, line & protect the body & its internal organs. |
front 16 Connective tissue | back 16 is the framework of the body, providing support & structure for the organs |
front 17 Nerve tissue | back 17 is composed of neurons & connective tissue cells that are referred to as neuroglia |
front 18 Muscle tissues | back 18 have the ability to contract (shorten). Muscle tissue is classified as VOLUNTARY MUSCLE (skeletal muscles) or INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE (smooth muscle & cardiac muscle tissue). |
front 19 Voluntary muscle | back 19 Skeletal muscle |
front 20 Involuntary muscle | back 20 Smooth muscle & cardiac muscle |
front 21 The cell is | back 21 the basic unit of life & the building block of tissues & organs. |
front 22 The nucleus contains | back 22 Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ribosomes |
front 23 DNA & Ribosomes are especially important for | back 23 the synthesis of proteins |
front 24 Proteins include | back 24 the enzymes that regulate all chemical reactions within the body. |
front 25 MITOSIS & MEIOSIS | back 25 ![]() MITOSIS & MEIOSIS |
front 26 Mitosis | back 26 ![]() is necessary for growth & repair. * In this process the DNA is duplicated & distributed evenly to 2 daughter cells. |
front 27 Meiosis | back 27 ![]() is special cell division that takes place in the gonads, that is, the ovaries & testes. |
front 28 In the process of meiosis the chromosome number is REDUCED from | back 28 46 to 23, so when the egg & the sperm unite in fertilization the zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes. |

front 30 The four Principal kinds of membranes are | back 30 ![]() Mucous, serous, synovial & cutaneous |
front 31 Mucous membranes (mucosa) line the | back 31 insides of hollow organs that open to the outside. (Mouth, rectum, reproductive, urinary) |
front 32 Serous membranes (or serosa)line body | back 32 cavities closed to the exterior (heart, lungs, etc);is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells, which secrete serous fluid. *They secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement. |
front 33 _________ is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells, which secrete serous fluid. | back 33 Serous membranes (serosa) |
front 34 Serous membranes secrete a _____a_____ which reduces _____b_______ from muscle movement. | back 34 a. lubricating fluid b. friction |
front 35 Which membrane is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells, which secrete serous fluid? | back 35 Serous membranes |
front 36 Synovial membranes | back 36 are the connective tissue membrane that lines the cavity of a synovial joint and produces the synovial fluid; it lines all internal surfaces of the cavity except for the articular cartilage of the bones. |
front 37 Synovial membranes line | back 37 all internal surfaces of the cavity except for the articular cartilage of bones. |
front 38 What membrane lines all internal surfaces of the cavity EXCEPT for articular cartilage of bones? | back 38 Synovial membranes |
front 39 Cutaneous membrane | back 39 is the skin-Integumentary system. We have the epidermis which is the outer epithelium tissue and dermis is the connective tissue. |
front 40 Mucous, serous, synovial & cutaneous membranes are composed of | back 40 mainly epithelial tissue. |
front 41 The three types of glands include | back 41 sudoriferous, sebaceous & ceruminous |
front 42 Sudoriferous glands | back 42 are small tubular structures situated within and under the skin (in the subcutaneous tissue). They discharge sweat by tiny openings in the surface of the skin. |
front 43 Which glands are small tubular structures situated within and under the skin? | back 43 Sudoriferous glands |
front 44 Which glands are in the subcutaneous tissue? | back 44 Sudoriferous glands |
front 45 Which glands discharge sweat by tiny openings in the surface of the skin? | back 45 Sudoriferous glands |
front 46 Sebaceous glands are | back 46 a small gland in the skin (usually attached to hair follicles) which secretes a lubricating oily matter (sebum) into the hair follicles to lubricate the skin and hair. |
front 47 Which glands are known to usually be attached to hair folliclies? | back 47 Sebaceous glands |
front 48 Which gland secretes sebum? | back 48 Sebaceous glands |
front 49 What is the purpose of sebum? | back 49 lubricate the skin & hair |
front 50 Ceruminous glands | back 50 A specialized gland that secretes cerumen into the external auditory canal; it's one of a number of tiny structures in the external ear canal, believed to be modified sweat glands. They secrete a waxy cerumen instead of watery sweat. |
front 51 Which gland is a specialized gland that secretes cerumen into the external auditory canal? | back 51 Ceruminous glands |
front 52 The __________ is one of the number of tiny structures in the external ear canal. | back 52 Ceruminous gland |
front 53 Which gland is believed to be a modified sweat gland, that secretes a waxy cerumen instead of a watery sweat? | back 53 Ceruminous gland |
front 54 Cartilage is replaced by | back 54 bone in the embryonic development |
front 55 Cartilage is found mainly in | back 55 joints, the thorax & various rigid tubes. |
