Types of epithelial tissue
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
- Ciliated
- Stratified (of different types)
Function of squamous epithelium
- Protects underlying tissue
- Permeable to gases and liquids
- revents friction
Function of ciliated epithelium tissue
- Dust trapped in mucus
- Cilia move and expell mucus
- Helps detect stimuli in sense organs
- Cilia move ensuring ovum moves in fallopian tubes
Cells that secrete mucus in epithelial tissue
Goblet cells
Types of connective tissue
- Areolar connective tissue
- Dense connective tissue
- Cartilage
- Bone
- Blood
Structure of areolar connective tissue
- Matrix jelly like
- Yellow elastic fibres
- White inelastic collagen fibres
- Fibroblast cells, leucocutes and fat cells
Functions of areolar connective tissue
- Insulating
- protects organs
- stores fat (adipose/fat tissue)
