Anatomy Lab Quiz 2 Flashcards
Basic tissue types
Epithelial tissue, Muscle tissue, Connective tissue, Nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue functions
Coverings, linings, and glands
How to name epithelial tissue
cell shape and cell layers
-When labeling do layer then shape
ex: simple squamous
Squamous
Flat (nuclei)
Cuboidal
Square (round nuclei) e.g. balloon
Columnar
Column (oval nuclei) e.g. football shaped
Simple
1 cell layer
Stratified
2 or more cell layers
Pseudostratified
falsely stratified (lining of airways)
Transitional
changes from simple to stratified back and forth (because the lining stretches)
-only happens in urinary bladder and tubes that carry urine
Exocrine glands
produce secretion (have duct)
Endocrine gland
produce hormones (no duct)
Merocrine
thin, water, no cell destruction
e.g. sweat and salivary glands
Apocrine
thicker secreation, cell pinches off along with secretion
e.g. sweat glands of axilla, pubic area, areolar areas, and mammary glands
Holocrine
cell lost with thick secretion
e.g. oil glands
Mucous membrane
line open body cavities (epithelial)
