cell types Flashcards
what are the 4 basic type of tissues
epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue, muscular tissue
form the covering of surfaces of the body located both in internal and external parts
epithelial tissue
it protects the underlying tissues
epithelial tissue
what are the 3 types of epithelial tissue (based on number of cell layers)
simple, stratified, pseudostratified
what are the 3 types of epithelial tissue (based on shape of cells)
squamous, cuboidal, columnar
thin, scaly-look like, flattened on the surface, fried-egg appearance with rounded nucleus
Squamous cell
secretion, absorption
cuboidal cell
absorption, secretion, reception, sensory
columnar cell
fine hair-like projection
ciliated columnar cell
false stratification or appearance
pseudostratified columnar cell
use to connect, bind, hold and support one part to another part of the body
connective tissue
hard or calcified
bone tissue
support, cushion properties
hylaine cartilage
absorb compressive shock
fibro cartilage
support the external
elastic cartilage
holds and conveys tissue fluid, inflammation
areolar cartillage
support, helps to provide structures
cartilage tissue
holding the organs in a particular area
areolar tissue
storage of lipids for energy building
adipose tissue
composed of muscles cells that are designed for contraction and movement
muscle tissue
long cylindrical shape, bundle forms, many nucleus, many striations
skeletal muscle cells
short branching shape have few striations single nucleus/two nucleus
cardiac muscle cells
spindle in shape of cells
smooth muscle cells
what are the 2 types of cells in a nervous tissue?
Conducting cells and supporting cells
