ANIMAL TISSUES Flashcards
what are the types of animal tissues
- epithelial
- connective tissues
- nervous tissues
- muscular tissues
what are the types of epithelial tissues
- squamous
- cuboidal
- glandular
- columnar
- ciliated
- stratified
what are the types of connective tissues
areolar
adipose
skeletal
fluid
types of areolar tissues
tendon
ligaments
types of skeletal tissues
bone
cartilage
types of fluid tissues
blood
lymph
what is the location of epithelium tissues
- outer covering of the entire body
- liling of all cavities such as nose stomach and outer layer of skin
what is the structure of epithelium tissues
- flat cuboidal or columnar in shape
- tightly packet with small amount of cementing and almost no intercellular space
- highly permeable
what is the location of a squamous epithelium
- it is located at the outer covering of the blood vessels heart and skin
what is the function of a squamous epithelium
- filtration and transportation of substances through osmosis and diffusion
- keeping the parts moist
- protection against mechanical injuries
what is the structure of a squamous epithelium
1,. it is hexagonal
2. arranged edge to edge
what is the location of a stratified epithelium
- it is located at the epidermis of the skin
- it is also located at the mouth and urinary bladder
what is the function of stratified epithelium
protect organs which are exposed to continuous wear and tear
what is the structure of a stratified epithelium
- this is composed of different types of squamous stratified epithelium tissues or columnar epithelium tissues
- these are arranged on top of one another
what is the location of the columnar epithelium
it is located mainly in the intestines of the digestive system
what are the functions of the columnar epithelium
- facilitates movement across the columnar barrier
- absorption of nutrients from digested food
- separation of digestive enzymes
what is the structure of the columnar epithelium
- cells are vertically arranged
- cells are longer
what is the function of the ciliated epithelium
- clearing of the respiratory system through pushing out mucous and air forward
- filtration
what is the location of the ciliated epithelium
- it is located at the wind pipe
what is the structure of the ciliated epithelium
have many hair like structures that are present on the outer surface of the cell
what if the function of the cuboidal epithelium
secretion if saliva
absorption of nutrients from urine
what is the location of cuboidal epithelium
it is located at the lining of parts of eyes and the saliva glands
what is the structure of the cuboidal epithelium
long, broad and cuboidal appearance
what is the function of the glandular epithelium
- secretion of oil and sweat from skin at regular intervals
