61. neuron excitable neural cell that transfer nerve impulses
62. oligodendrocyte neuroglial cell that produces myelin in the brain
63. parenchyma functional cells of a gland or organ, in contrast with the supportive or connective tissue of a gland or organ
64. primary union edges of a wound are close enough together to promote healing without the use of stitches to hold them close
65. pseudostratified columnar epithelium tissue that consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and sized cells that give the appearance of multiple layers; found in ducts of certain glands and the upper respiratory tract
66. reticular fiber fine fibrous protein, made of collagen subunits, which cross-link to form supporting "nets" within connective tissue
67. reticular lamina matrix containing collagen and elastin secreted by connective tissue; a component of the basement membrane
68. reticular tissue type of loose connective tissue that provides a supportive framework to soft organs, such as lymphatic tissue, spleen, and the liver
69. Schwann cell neuroglial cell that produces myelin in the peripheral nervous system
70. secondary union wound healing facilitated by wound contraction
71. serous gland group of cells within the serous membrane that secrete a lubricating substance onto the surface
72. serous membrane type of tissue membrane that lines body cavities and lubricates them with serous fluid
73. simple columnar epithelium tissue that consists of a single layer of column-like cells; promotes secretion and absorption in tissues and organs
74. simple cuboidal epithelium tissue that consists of a single layer of cube-shaped cells; promotes secretion and absorption in ducts and tubules
75. simple squamous epithelium tissue that consists of a single layer of flat scale-like cells; promotes diffusion and filtration across surface
76. skeletal muscle usually attached to bone, under voluntary control, each cell is a fiber that is multinucleated and striated
77. smooth muscle under involuntary control, moves internal organs, cells contain a single nucleus, are spindle-shaped, and do not appear striated; each cell is a fiber
78. stratified columnar epithelium tissue that consists of two or more layers of column-like cells, contains glands and is found in some ducts
79. stratified cuboidal epithelium tissue that consists of two or more layers of cube-shaped cells, found in some ducts
80. stratified squamous epithelium tissue that consists of multiple layers of cells with the most apical being flat scale-like cells; protects surfaces from abrasion
81. striation alignment of parallel actin and myosin filaments which form a banded pattern
82. supportive connective tissue type of connective tissue that provides strength to the body and protects soft tissue
83. synovial membrane connective tissue membrane that lines the cavities of freely movable joints, producing synovial fluid for lubrication
84. tight junction forms an impermeable barrier between cells
85. tissue membrane thin layer or sheet of cells that covers the outside of the body, organs, and internal cavities
86. tissue group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions
87. totipotent embryonic cells that have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell and organ in the body
88. transitional epithelium form of stratified epithelium found in the urinary tract, characterized by an apical layer of cells that change shape in response to the presence of urine
89. vasodilation widening of blood vessels
90. wound contraction process whereby the borders of a wound are physically drawn together
