2.Tissue And Body Cavities Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Protects body may be secretory and absorbent
Connective
Binds tissue together
Muscle
Brings about movement
Nervous tissue
Conveys nerve impulses from one area to another and coordinate response
Simple
One cell thick endothelium
Stratified
More then one layer thick endothelium
Endothelium
Epithelium lining the structures such as inside of heart and blood vessesls
How can the epithelium have more protection
Presence of protein keratin
Squamous cells
Flattened in shape
Cuboidal cells
Square or cube shaped
Columnar cells
Column shaped
Where and what would u find pseudostratified epithelium
Trachea
Appears to look multilayered because of irregular positioning
Transitional epithelium
Specialised stratified epithelium found lining parts of urinary system and are capable of considerable distension and variation of internal pressure and are able to change shape according to circumstances
Exocrine glands
System of ducts through which their secretory products are transported directly to the site where they will be used
Endocrine glands
Do not have a duct system and their secretion are carried by blood to target organs which may distance away
