Anatomy modules 1-4 Flashcards
Define tissue, histology, and extracellular matrix
histology- the study of tissue
tissue- group of cells working together
extracellular matrix- fluid in between the cells in your body that hold everything together
what are the four basic types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
explain connective tissues function
protects and supports the body and its organs. binds organs together and help provide immunity
explain epithileal tissue
covers bodies sufaces (skin)
explain muscular tissue
cells that are specialized in contracting and generating force
explain nervous tissue
reacts to changes in internal and external conditions by creating nerve impulses
what is the location and function of simple squamous epithelium
alveoli of the lungs
allows for easy gas exchange because the cells and thin and flat
what is the function and location of simple cuboidal epithelium
kidney tubules, thyroid glands, liver and salivary glands
-helps with secretion
what is the location and function of simple columnar epithelium
inner lining of stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and uterus
function- absorbs nutrients and produces mucus in digestive tract
what is the function and location of pseudostratified columnar epithelium
respiratory tract
-protects and moves mucus along the respirstory tract to trap and clear out dust and microbes
explain the location and function of stratified squamous epithelium
skin
-provides protection against abrasion, dehydration, and infection
what is the location and function of stratified squamous epithelium (non keratinized
vagina, tongue, esophagus, anal canal
-protects areas that need to stay moist and resist wear and tear but done need to be waterproof
what is the function and location of stratified cuboidal epithelium
-duct of sweat glands, and sperm producing ducts
-protects and helps with secretion
what is the function and location of transitional epithelium
bladder and urinary tract
-stretches and changes shape to allow the bladder and hold urine
