Anatomy Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the 4 types of tissue
Epithelial tissue (ET)
Connective tissue (CT)
Muscle tissue (MT)
Neura tissue (NT)
Epithelial tissue (ET)
On top - skin
Epithelial tissue (ET)
On top - skin
Connective tissue (CT)
Blood/ bones
Muscle tissue
Bicep
Neura tissue
Nerve
Types of ET cells
1)simple
2)stratified
3)pseudo stratified
4)transitional
Epithelial (ET) characteristics
1) cellularity (many cells)
2) polarity (in directions of n,s, e,w)
3)support (basal/basement)
4) avascular (very little blood)
5) neural (extremely sensitive)
6)regenerate

Simple cells (ET) types
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Simple cells (ET) types
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Describe simple squamous cells, their job, and where they are found
Cells are wider, than tall.
Found in the lungs, blood vessels, and serosa.
Job is filtration
Describe simple Cubidal cells, their job, and where they are found
Same tall as they are wide
Found in pancreas and kidney
Job is secretion and absorption
Describe simple columnar cells, their job, and where they are found
Taller than they are wide
Found in GI (minus the esophagus)
Job is it absorb and secrete
Stratified epithelial
Many cells
Skin, esophagus
Job: protection, cushion friction
