Animal Tissues Flashcards
It is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit.
Tissue
A nonliving material that fills the spaces between the cells
Intercellular matrix
Types of Animal Tissues
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous Tissue
Are closely packed cell sheets that cover the body’s surface and line internal organs and cavities, providing protection and facilitating exchanges.
Epethilial Tissues
A thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans
Basement membrane / basal lamina
Simple layer of Epithelial Tissue cell shapes
- Pseudostratified
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
If Pseudostratified forms a cilia
Ciliated and Non-ciliated
Compound layer of Epithelial Tissue cell shapes
- Stratified
- Transitional
Compound Stratified Epithelial cell shapes
- Stratified Squamous
- Stratified Cuboidal
- Stratified Columnar
If Stratified Squamous contains keratin
Keratinized and Non-keratinized
Squamous example
Esophagus
Cuboidal example
Kidney
Columnar example
Stomach
Simple layer cell example
Lung alveoli
Stratified or multiple layered cell example
Epidermis
Pseudostratified or one layer of cell in a multilayered appearance
Trachea
