    • fibrocartilage
  15. Name the function of the hyaline cartilage
    • It covers the articular surfaces of bone
    • It produces a friction-free surface for movement
  16. Name the function of elastic cartilage
    • It is more flexible than hyaline cartilage
    • It makes-up the external ear and eustachian tube
  17. Name the function of the fibrocartilage
    It makes-up the intervertebral disks and the pubic symphosis of the pelvis
  18. Name the function of the adipose
    • It is a storage place for fat
    • It stores estrogen in women
    • It insulates and protects the body
  19. Name the function of the bone
    It makes-up the endoskeleton
  20. Name the function of the red blood cells
    It contains hemoglobin for oxygen and carbon dioxide transport
  21. Name the function of the platelet
    They function in blood-clotting
  22. Name the five types of white blood cells or (leukocytes)
    • Polymorphonucleated cell (PMN cell)
    • Eosinophil
    • Basophil
    • Lymphocyte
    • Monocyte
  23. Name the white blood cells that are granulocytes

    They are the primary phagocytic white blood cell.
  26. Name the function of the eosinophil
    • They contain orange-staining granules in the cytoplasm.
    • They are phagocytic, particularly to parasites.
  27. Name the function of the basophil
    • They contain blue-staining (azurephilic) granules in the cytoplasm.

    It contains the various organalles of the cell (including the nucleus).
  32. Name the function of the nucleus
    It controls the functions of the cell.
  33. Name the function of an axon
    It transmits the nerve impulse away from the nerve cell body.
  34. Myelin tissue is
    the white polysaccharide sheath that surrounds some neurons.
  35. Name the function of acetylcholine
    It transmits the nerve impulse from the axon of one neuron to the dendrites of the next neuron.
