Adipocytes - Cell that stores lipids, derived from a fibroblast, Avascular - Lacking blood cells or vessels, Adhesion Junction(desmosomes) - The adjacent plasma(cell) membranes of epithelial cells are held together by filaments, Basement Membrane - The basal surface of epithelial tissue that is attached to underlying tissue, Blood - Connective tissue composed of cells separated by a liquid matrix called plasma, Cardiac Muscle Tissue - Found only in the walls of the heart, Cartilage - Type of avascular connective tissue containing a semi-solid or jellylike matrix and provides support and protection to bones, Macrophage - Enlarged monocytes that ingest foreign material and cellular debris, Connective tissue - Type of tissue characterized by cells separated by a matrix; often containing fibers, Dense Connective Tissue - Type of tissue containing many densely packed collagen fibers, Exocrine Glands - Structures that secrete their products onto the outer surface of the body., Endocrine Glands - Structures that secrete their products internally into the bloodstream. , Epithelial Tissues - Type of tissue that lines the body's internal cavities and covers the body's external surface., Fibroblast - Cell that produces fibers and other intercellular materials in connective tissues., Gap Junction - Forms when two adgacent plasma membrane channels join and allows for communication between cells. , Loose Connective Tissue - Tissue that is composed of mainly fibroblasts and loosely woven fibers. , Nerves - Cell that contains three parts; Axon , dendrites and a cell body. Conducts action potentials, Nervous Tissue - Tissue that generates and conducts electrical signals. , Neuroglia - Cells that outnumber neurons and make up more than half the volume of the brain., Mast Cells - Cells to which antibodies, formed in response to allergens, attach, bursting the cell and causing an inflammatory response. , Matrix - The secreted material or medium that along with cells, make up the structure of connective tissue., Meninges - Membranes found within the posterior body cavity and serve as a protective covering for the brain and spinal cord., Mucous Membranes - Membranes that line the interior walls of the organs and tubes that open to the outside of your body., Plasma Cells - cell derived from a B lymphocyte that is specialized to mass-produce antibodies. , Serous Membranes - Membranes that line cavities and cover internal organs, Skeletal muscle tissue - Attached by tendons to the bones of the skeleton; striated and voluntary, Smooth muscle tissue - Involuntary, non-striated. Found in the walls of hollow organs., Synovial membranes - Membranes that line freely movable joint cavities, such as the knee., Tight junction - Forms an impermeable barrier because adjacent plasma membrane proteins zip together. , Tissue - A group of similar cells that perform a specialized function,
