ANAPHYSIO- TISSUES & MEMBRANES Flashcards
tissue
is a group of cells that have similar structure and
that function together as a unit.
A nonliving material, that fills the spaces between the cells. This may be abundant in
some tissues and minimal in others.
intercellular matrix,
what are the four main tissue types in the body?
(ECoMuN)
Epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
are found on surfaces as either coverings (outer
surfaces) or linings (inner surfaces)
Epithelial tissues
TRUE OR FALSE:
Epithelial tissues have capillaries (smallest type of blood vessel in the body, forming a network that connects arteries and veins).
FALSE. They do not have their own capillaries
Classification is based on the type of cell of which the tissue is made,
its characteristic shape, and the number of layers of cells
epithelial tissues
Three Distinctive Shapes of Epithelial Tissues
- Squamous Cells
- Cuboidal Cells
- Columnar Cells
- Simple means single layer
- Stratified means many layers of cells
Types of epithelial cells based on their shapes
- Squamous epithelium
- Cuboidal epithelium
- Columnar epithelium
- Simple
- Stratified
- Pseudostratified
Types of epithelial cells in your body
- Simple squamous epithelium
- Simple cuboidal epithelium
- Simple columnar epithelium
Types of epithelial cells based on their shape
* Squamous epithelium:
flat and sheet-like in appearance.
Types of epithelial cells based on their shape
* Cuboidal epithelium:
- cube-like in appearance
- equal width, height and depth.
Types of epithelial cells based on their shape
* Columnar epithelium:
column-like in appearance, taller
Types of epithelial cells based on their
arrangement
- simple
- stratified
- pseudostratified
epithelium means that there’s only one layer of cells.
simple
this epithelium is
made up of more than one layer of cells.
stratified
this epithelium is made up of closely packed cells that appear to be arranged in layers
because they’re different sizes, but
there’s actually just one layer of cells.
pseudostratified
do basal cells regenerates?
yes, when apical cells slough off, they are replaced by basal cells
Types of epithelial cells in your body
- Simple squamous epithelium
- Simple cuboidal epithelium:
- Simple columnar epithelium
- Stratified squamous epithelium
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium
- Stratified columnar epithelium
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium
- lines blood vessels and body cavities
- regulates the passage of substances into the underlying tissue
Simple cuboidal epithelium
- found
in glandular (secreting) tissue and kidney tubules.
simple columnar epithelium
- specialized for absorption
- usually has apical cilia or microvilli.
- line your stomach and intestines.
Stratified squamous epithelium
- has protective functions,
- protection against microorganisms
from invading underlying tissue and/or protection against water loss. - The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified
squamous epithelial cells
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
not as common and is found in the excretory ducts of your salivary and
sweat glands.
Stratified columnar epithelium
not as common and is seen in the
1, mucous membrane (conjunctiva) lining
your eyelids, where it’s both protective and mucus-secreting.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium:
lines your upper respiratory tract and usually has a lot of cillia
Epithelial cells based on specialized functions
TGO
Transitional epithelium
Glandular epithelium
Olfactory epithelium
Transitional epithelium
- also known as urothelium
- flattened when stretched
- urinary tract
- allows bladder to expand
Glandular
- specialized to produce and secrete
(release) substances such as hormones, proteins, and H20 - found in the glands
Olfactory epithelium
- nasal cavity
- contain olfactory receptor cells
- specialized cilia extensions
- the cilia trap odors
What does the epithelium do?
(PSAEFDS)
protection
secretion
absorption
excretion
filtration
diffusion
sensory receptor
simple sqamous location
alveoli of lungs - permit diffusion of gases
capillaries - thin to permit exchange of materials; smooth to prevent abnormal blood clotting
stratified squamos location and function
- epidermis - surface cells are dead; a barrier to pathogen
- lining of esophagus, vagina- surface cells are living; barrier to pathogens
Transitional structure
many layers of cells; surface cells change from rounded to flat
transitional location and functional
Urinary bladder - expansions
cuboidal location and functon
thyroid gland- secrete hormones
salivary glands- saliva
kidney tubules - reabsorption of useful materials
columnar location and function
lining of stomach - secrete gastric juice
Lining of small intestine - secrete enzymes and absorbs end products of digestion
cilliated
one layer of columnar with cillia on surface
cillated location and function
lining of trachea- sweeps mucus and dust to pharynx
lining of fallopian tube - sweeps ovum towards uterus
