excitable neural cell that transfer nerve impulses

neuroglial cell that produces myelin in the brain

functional cells of a gland or organ, in contrast with the supportive or connective tissue of a gland or organ

condition of a wound where the wound edges are close enough to be brought together and fastened if necessary, allowing quicker and more thorough healing

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

fine fibrous protein, made of collagen subunits, which cross-link to form supporting “nets” within connective tissue

matrix containing collagen and elastin secreted by connective tissue; a component of the basement membrane

type of loose connective tissue that provides a supportive framework to soft organs, such as lymphatic tissue, spleen, and the liver

neuroglial cell that produces myelin in the peripheral nervous system

wound healing facilitated by wound contraction

group of cells within the serous membrane that secrete a lubricating substance onto the surface

type of tissue membrane that lines body cavities and lubricates them with serous fluid

tissue that consists of a single layer of column-like cells; promotes secretion and absorption in tissues and organs

tissue that consists of a single layer of cube-shaped cells; promotes secretion and absorption in ducts and tubules

tissue that consists of a single layer of flat scale-like cells; promotes diffusion and filtration across surface
