animal tissues Flashcards
what are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function and is building blocks of organs and organ systems??
tissues
what are the functions of tissues?
- building blocks of organs and organ systems
- provide structure, support and have specialized function
what are the 4 types of animals tissue?
epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue
what type of tissue that is closely positioned polygonal cells and With little or no intercellular materials in between?
epithelial tissue
epithelial tissue form what?
body surfaces and form glands
what are the functions of epithelial tissue?
1.) protects the body from infectious agents
2. absorption of nutrients
3 sensation
what are characteristics of epithelial cells?
- compactly arranged
- avascular
- form membranes and glands
- associated with a basement membrane &
lamina/tunica propria
layers of loose
connective tissues in mucous membranes
which lines body cavities?
lamina/ tunica propria
draw the structure of epithelial tissues
Epithelial tissues are classified according
number of cell layers: simple or stratified
shape of cells on free surface: squamous, cuboidal, columnar
surface specialization: cilia, keratin, goblet cells, brush border
draw the structure of a goblet cell
3 types of epithelium
- simple
2 stratified
3 glandular
types of epithelium that Made up of only 1 layer of cells?
◆ Shapes could either be:
simple epithelium
- squamous, cuboidal, columnar
❖ thin and flat cells of irregular
outline?
❖ cells are fitted together closely
forming continuous sheet?
simple squamous epithelium
simple squamous are found in?
- endothelium of blood vessels,
alveoli of lungs - mesothelium that covers the
body cavities & internal
organs (lung, heart)
box or cube-shaped cells
❖ characteristic of linings of
the kidneys and some parts
of the lungs (terminal
bronchioles, type 2 alveolar
cells)
simple cuboidal epithelium
simple cuboidal are found in?
ovary
cylindrical, tall, and narrow
cells
❖ with goblet cells that
secrete mucus
❖ striated borders
simple columnar epithelium
simple columnar are found in
stomach, intestines, gall bladder
Made of more than 1 layer of cells?
◆ According to the shape of its topmost layer, it
can either be:
stratified epithelium
- squamous
-cuboidal
-columnar
-transitional
-pseudostratified
◆ Can either be:
- keratinized (e.g. dry
surfaces of the skin)
- non-keratinized (e.g.
those found in wet surfaces such
as oral cavity, pharynx, etc)
◆ has protective function due to
its multi layer
stratified squamous epithelium
what layer gives additional protection from bacterial infection. desiccations and breakage?
keratin layer
not common
◆ Found in excretory ducts of
salivary, sweat, mammary,
pancreatic glands
stratified cuboidal epithelium
not common
◆ found in:
ocular conjunctiva
male urethra
salivary, pancreatic, sweat
gland ducts
stratified columnar
lines the urinary bladder,
ureter, & upper part of
urethra
◆ cells can change in form
depending on the degree
of distension of the bladder
transitional epithelium
what happened when the bladder is relaxed to thin______? ________ when full
thick columnar or cuboidal (thin)
squamous (full)
◆ cells where nuclei are
positioned in different levels
◆ gives impression that the
membrane is composed of more
than 1 layer
pseudostratified epithelium
pseudostratified is found in?
respiratory tract
formed by cells specialized to produce
secretion molecules
glandular epithelium
