Animal tissue Flashcards
The four groups of permanent tissue are
Epithelium tissue- tissue for covering and lining
Muscle- tissue for movement
Connective tissue- tissues for structure, strength, binding and transport
Nerve- tissue for communication
Squamous epithelium
Thin tissue
Flat cells
Elliptical nuclei
Paving stone appearance
Location of squamous
Form the lining of the alveoli in the lung
Capillary walls
Squamous function
Allows for rapid diffusion due to it being a thin layer
Cuboidal epithelium
Thin tissue
Cube shaped cells
Round nuclei
Location of cuboidal
Make up glands
Make up ducts of glands
Kidney tubules
Function of cuboidal
Produce secretions
Columnar epithelium
Elongated cells
Location of columnar
Line the gastro- intestinal tract
Function of the columnar
Absorption of food
Sensitive to stimuli
Goblet cells secrete mucous
Ciliated columnar
Elongated cells
Cells lined with tiny hairs-like structures called cilia
Location of ciliated columnar
Trachea/windpipe
Fallopian tubes/sperm ducts
Function of ciliated columnar
Move ova in oviducts
Move sperm
Remove foreign bodies from the lungs
Stratified epithelium
Sometimes linings are made up of a number of layers of epithelium
Location of stratified
Skin
