HISTO LEC

• Eponychium


  Forms a seal that prevents allergens, irritants, and pathogens from entering the potential space between the distal skin of the digit and the nail plate
• Keratohyalin


  Found in the stratum granulosum
• Pericardium


  Connective tissue sac surrounding the heart
• Tightly packed cells are not associated with connective tissue
• Basement membrane


  • Molecular filtering
• Tunica media


  The layer in an artery that is primarily smooth muscle
• Simple columnar epithelium


  The lining epithelium of the intestine in humans
• Fibroblast


  Connective tissue cell type that produces the ground substance
• Muscular artery


  • Has a pronounced internal elastic membrane and external elastic membrane
• Lysosomes


  Site of intracellular digestion
• Dense regular connective tissue


  The type of tissue that a ligament is composed of
• Pseudostratified columnar (ciliated) epithelium is the least common
• Hyaline cartilage


  The type of cartilage that forms the skeleton of the fetus
• Simple columnar epithelium may not have motile cilia
• Mesenchyme


  Can be classified as "specialized connective tissue"
• Tunica intima


  The layer in an artery that contains the endothelium
• Stratum corneum


  The layer of the epidermis that contains cells with no nuclei or organelles
• Continuous capillaries


  Where things are moved across the epithelium via pinocytotic vesicles
• Myocardium


  Where the blood vessels that supply the heart are located
• Hyaline cartilage forms the hammer, anvil and stirrup
• Simple squamous epithelium


  The type of tissue that forms the alveoli in the lung
• Plasma cells


  The cells of connective tissues that form antibodies and provide humoral immunity
• Elastic cartilage


  The type of cartilage found in the walls of the eustachian tube
• Smooth ER


  Where steroid synthesis occurs
• Glycosaminoglycans


  A component of the ground substance
• Fibrocartilage


  The type of cartilage that forms the symphysis pubis
• The nucleus lacks a bounding membrane
• Vasa vasorum


  Blood vessels
• The human dermis lacks melanin
• Osteoclast


  The cell involved in bone resorption
• Pseudostratified columnar epithelium


  The type of epithelium that lines the trachea
• The endocardium does not contain abundant adipose tissue
• Oligodendrocytes


  The cells responsible for forming myelin in the central nervous system
• Hyaline cartilage


  The type of cartilage that forms the articular surface on bones
• Simple cuboidal epithelium


  The type of epithelium associated with goblet cells
• Fenestrated capillaries


  A distinct structure found specifically in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow
• Cartilage lacks blood vessels
• Smooth ER is responsible for the production of protein
• Dense regular connective tissue


  • Contains mostly synthetically active fibroblasts
• Endothelium


  The component of blood vessels that is most consistently present
