cells arranged in continuous sheets in single or multiple layers, forming the innermost or outtermost surface of body structures where glands are formed

most abundant and widely distributed tissues in body, various forms to bind supportand strengthen other tissue

consists of elongated cells called muscle fibers, use ATP to generate force, produces body movement, maintains posture and generates heat

containing neurons that initiate and conduct nerve impulses to coordinate homeostasis and neurologia that provide support and nourishment

Seal pathways between adjacent cells, block movement of integral membrane proteins

Intercellular channels (between cells), constructed from transmembered proteins called connexins, ions can flow through them

thin extracellular layer consists of 2 layers basal lamina and reticular lamina

made up of secretory cells that remain intact throught the secretory process of formation and dischargeof the secretory product, ex. salivary and pancriatic glands

sevretory products gather atfree end of secreting cell and are pinched of, ex. mammary glands

large fat cell that secretes most of extracellular matrix of areolar and dense connective tissue

fat cell from fibrblast

protein that is the main organicconstituient of connective tissue

branch and join together to form networks to add to strength and stability

consitis of collagen in bundles make up walls of blood vessels and form networks around certain tissues

forms subcutaneous layer of skin that attaches to underlying organs and tissues

storage of triglycerides or fats

bundles collagen fibers are regularly arranged in parrellel paterns that protissue with great strength

type of connective tissue consisting of chondrocytes in lacunae embedded in a dense network of collagen and elastic fibers and an extracellular matrix of chondroitin sulfate

strained muscle fibers that make up the walls of the heart

irregular transverse thickening of sarcolemma that contains desosomes, which hold cardiac muscle fibers together and gap junctions

neurons amuscle fibers, exibit electrical excitability, abilitiy to respond to certain stimuli by producing electrical signals
