Bio Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
Epithelial tissue/epithelium
Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters
Where is epithelium tissue found
Letting the digestive track organs and other hollow organs also on the skin surface
What is simple epithelial tissue
Single cell layer
What is stratified epithelium tissue
Composed of two or more cell layers stacked on top of each other
Where is simple epithelial tissue found
Where absorption, secretion, infiltration occur and Thin epithelial barrier is desirable
Where is stratified epithelial found
Are common in high abrasion areas where protection is important, such as the skin surface in the lining of the mouth
What are squamous cells
Flatten and scale like
What are cuboidal cells
Box like approximately as tall as they are wide
What are columnar cells
Tall and column shaped
What are simple squamous epithelium
Single layer of flattened cells with the disc shaped center nuclei and sparse cytoplasm
Are the simplest of the epithelial
Simple squamous epithelium
What is the function of the simple squamous epithelium
Allows materials to pass by diffusion infiltration insights were protection is not important.
What does the simple Squam us epithelium secrete
Lubricating substances in serosae
Where are simple Squam us epithelium found
Kidney, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and lining of ventral body cavity
What does simple squamous epithelium tissue look like under a microscope
Stringing and thin, May form air sacs
What is the simple cuboidal epithelium
Layer of cute like cells with large vehicle central nuclei
What is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium
To secrete and absorb
Where are simple cuboidal epithelium found
Kidney tubules, ducks and secretory portions of small glands and ovary surface
What do you simple cuboidal epithelium cells look like
Round, clustered, somewhat like fat/oil
in water
what are simple columnar epithelium
Single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei. Some cells have microvilli and cilia, layer may contain mucus secreting unicellular glands
What are mucus secreting unicellular glands
Goblet cells
What do you goblet cells contain
Mucus
What is the function of simple columnar epithelium
Absorb, secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances. The ciliated type propels mucus or reproductive cells.
Where are nonciliated simple columnar epithelium located
Non-ciliated types line most of the digestive trac, gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands.
