histology - the study of tissues
2.
Epithelial tissue - The tissue that forms the boundary between the outside world and our body
3.
Muscular Tissue - The tissue responsible for movement, heart beat, and the movement of food
4.
Connective Tissue - The tissue that makes up cartilage and blood
5.
Nervous Tissue - The tissue that conducts electrical impulses through the brain and spinal cord
6.
Free Surface - The top surface of epithelial tissue
7.
Basal Surface - The bottom surface of epithelial tissue
8.
Basement Membrane - The membrane underneath the basal surface
9.
Simple Squamous - A single, flat layer of epithelial cells that is thin and permeable
10.
Simple Cuboidal- A single layer of cube-shaped epithelial cells
11.
Simple Columnar - A single layer of tall, closely
12.
Goblet Cell - Cells that secret mucus
13.
Stratified Squamous - Multi-layered of epithelial cells providing protection for underlying layers
14.
Stratified Cuboidal - Epithelial tissue that contains more than one layer of cuboidal cells
15.
Stratified Columnar - Epithelial tissue where the free surface is lined with columnar cells
16.
pseudo-stratified - Epithelial tissue where it appears Stratified, but is not
17.
Transitional - Epithelial tissue that changes shape with elasticity
18.
Exocrine - Secrete substances outward through ducts
19.
Endocrine - Ductless glands secreting hormones through the bloodstream
20.
Merocrine - Exocrine glands where the cell excretes the products via exocytosis
21.
Apocrine - Exocrine glands where a part of the cell pinches off with the secreted products
22.
Holocrine - Exocrine glands where the cells rupture and spill into the duct
23.
Fibrocytes - Connective Tissue Proper cells
24.
Areolar - A loose connective tissue that holds water and salts for surrounding space
25.
Adipose - A fatty loose connective tissue that insulates the body
26.
Reticular - A loose connective tissue that creates a stiff framework supporting other cells
27.
Regular - A dense connective tissue that provides a tensile rope-like strength
28.
Irregular - A dense connective tissue where collagen fibers are arranged in many directions
29.
Elastic - A dense connective tissue that provides flexible cushioning in arteries
30.
Extracellular Matrix - This is what all connective tissues are composed of
31.
Chondrocytes - Cartilage cells
32.
Hyaline - A cartilage with a firm ground substance with lacuna
33.

40.
- Vascular tissue that divides into red and white blood cells
41.
Smooth Muscle - A non-striated muscle tissue that contracts involuntarily
42.

43.
Skeletal Muscle - A striated muscle tissue that contracts voluntarily
44.
Neurons - Make up 10% of nerve cells
45.
Neuroglia - Make up 90% of nerve cells
46.
Ground Substance - Watery substance secreted by cells
47.
Fibers - Either collagen,elastic, or reticular
