Basic Tissue Types Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: What type of cartilage contains thick collagen fibres?_____

Answer: Fibrocartilage

Flashcard 2: What type of epithelium is seen in the conjunctiva?

Answer: Stratified columnar epithelium (with goblet cells)

Extra: The epithelium of the conjunctiva varies by region: - **Palpebral, fornix, and bulbar conjunctiva**: Stratified columnar/cuboidal epithelium. - **Marginal and limbal conjunctiva**: Stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium. **Goblet cells** are a characteristic feature of the conjunctival epithelium, especially in the fornix and bulbar regions.

Flashcard 3: In response to axon damage, the neuron cell body undergoes _____, which is the swelling of the cell body and dispersion of Nissl substance (chromatolysis)

Answer: Axonal reaction

Flashcard 4: Which cellular junctions are absent in cardiac muscle?_____

Answer: Tight junctions

Flashcard 5: _____ are glial cells that provide physical support and repair for the nervous system

Answer: Astrocytes

Flashcard 6: What type of cartilage contains thin collagen fibres?_____

Answer: Hyaline

Flashcard 7: Umbrella shaped cells are found on the surface in which type of epithelium?_____

Answer: Transitional

Flashcard 8: The multilayered epithelium that consists of deeper columnar cells and surface layer of flat cells is known as the stratified _____ epithelium.

Answer: squamous

Flashcard 9: What type of muscle fiber is characterized by multinucleated, cylindrical, unbranched cells with peripherally located nuclei and prominent cross-striations?

Answer: Skeletal muscle

Extra: Skeletal muscle fibers are long, cylindrical, and unbranched. They are under voluntary control. **Distinguishing histological features:** - **Skeletal**: Multiple peripheral nuclei, striated, unbranched. - **Cardiac**: Single central nucleus, striated, branched, intercalated discs. - **Smooth**: Single central nucleus, non-striated, spindle-shaped.

Flashcard 10: Plasma cells have abundant RER and a well-developed _____

Answer: Golgi apparatus
