What is Interstitial Fluid?
A solution which surrounds cells and contains gases, nutrients, and salts dissolved in water
A substance which surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together
A fancy name for blood
The extracellular matrix of osseous tissue
What is Differentiation?

Epithelial Tissue
Avoids exposed surfaces, retreats from internal passageways and chambers, destroys glands
Covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways and chambers, forms glands
Skin
If epithelial tissue appears in too large a quantity, it provides healing abilities akin to those of Wolverine
Connective Tissue
Causes the body to inflate like an airbag in case of impact
Connects stuff
Fills internal spaces, provides support for other tissues, stores energy reserves
Provides support for bones
Muscle Tissue
Contracts and expands to cool the body
Expands to move the body
Contracts to perform specific movements, generates heat in the process
Must be consciously moved
Nervous Tissue
Carries information between parts of the body in the form of electrical impulses
Carries information between the brain and spinal cord
Carries information between muscle groups
Allows for manipulation of electricity
Functions of Epithelial Tissue
Provides a lack of sensation in a watery environment
Provides physical protection, controls permeability, absorption, provides sensations, filtration, produce specialized secretions
Provides physical protection ONLY
Allows water to be absorbed through the skin, negating the need to drink
What is the Apical Edge?
A synonym for the Lunatic Fringe
Attached surface which is present on all cell membranes
Free or unattached surface which is present on all membranes
A pathway to many abilities some consider to be...unnatural
What is the Basement Membrane?
Structure on which the lower surface of Epithelial tissue rests
Where cells live if they can't financially support themselves
Structure on which the upper surface of Epithelial tissue rests
Structure on which the lower surface of Connective tissue rests
What does Avascular mean?
Having no blood supply
Having a little bit of blood supply
Having a fair amount of blood supply
Having an overwhelming excess of blood supply
Endocrine Glands
Release secretions using the force of muscle movements into the bloodstream
Release secretions via glands contained within the body
Release secretions into surrounding interstitial fluid, diffuse directly into blood
Release poisons into surrounding interstitial fluid, diffuse directly into blood
Exocrine Glands
There's a lizard that shoots blood from its eyes
Discharge secretions which form a protective exoskeleton in the event of danger
Discharge secretions exclusively onto internal surfaces
Discharge secretions onto external or internal surfaces
Types of Epithelial Cells
Simple, Stratified, Pseudostratified Ciliated
Squamous, Columnar, Cuboidal
Doric, Ionic, Corinthian
Both A and B
What are the characteristics of Connective Tissue?
Specialized cells inside an extracellular matrix with variations in blood supply
Discharge secretions onto external or internal surfaces
Specialized cells inside an intracellular matrix with variations in lymph supply
Specialized cells inside The Matrix which are indicative of The One
Extracellular Matrix
Does not exist in blood
Made from bone
Made from different types of fibers and proteins, non living material which provides most of the volume of connective tissue
Made from living material, provides a small portion of the volume of connective tissue
Chondrocytes
Bone cells, which are the only living cells within their matrix--this makes healing difficult since blood cannot easily reach the cells
Cartilage cells, which are the only living cells within their matrix
A path to many abilities some consider to be...unnatural
Similar to midichlorians
Plasma
The extracellular matrix of blood
Something which can be donated or sold, though the latter is generally frowned upon
The fourth state of matter
Primary form of weaponry used by The Covenant
Intercalated Discs
Structures in striated (skeletal) muscle which allow for the transmission of intercellular electrical impulses, look like scar lines
Structures in smooth muscle which allow for the transmission of intercellular electrical impulses, look like scar lines
Those things they throw in Tron
Structures in cardiac muscle which allow for the transmission of intercellular electrical impulses, look like scar lines
Irritability
Ability of epithelial cells to perceive changes in the environment
Ability of glial cells to perceive changes in the environment
One of the available stats you can increase in Elden Ring
Ability of nerve cells to perceive changes in the environment
Conductivity
Ability of computers in a network to send and receive messages
Ability of nerve cells to send messages
Ability of nerve cells to conduct electricity
Ability of nerve cells to perceive changes in the environment
