Anat tissue Flashcards
Types of Tissue
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Epithelial
- covers body surface&organs
- form inner lining of cavities
- lines hollow organ
- lacks blood vessels
- divide readily
- tightly packed
- secretion
- absorption
- excretion
basement membrane
thin, nonliving layer anchors epithelium to connective tissue
squamous
thin, flattened
cuboidal
cubelike
columnar
elongated
simple squamous location
air sac
inside vessels
wall of capillaries
simple squamous
substances pass easily through,
site of diffusion&filtration
thin /delicate
easily damaged
simple cuboidal location
lines follicles of thyroid gland
covers ovaries
lines kidney,tubules, ducts of s.glands
simple columnar
nuclei same level (near basement membrane)
sometimes: ciliated.
absorption (have microvilli)
thick tissue/protect
simple columnar location
move egg cells (w/cilia)
(w/o cilia) uterus, part digestive tract, secrete digestive fluid, absords nutients
goblet cell
pseudo stratified
commonly: cilia
goblet cell
pseudostratifies location
respiratory
stratified squamous
thick
free surface: squamous (old)
basement: cuboidal/columnar
stratified squamous location
epidermis, oral cavity, esophagus , vagina, anal
stratified columnar
free surface: elongated
basement: cuboidal
stratified columnar location
male urethra, parts of pharynx
