ch. 3 Flashcards
what are tissues
specialized cells and cell products that perform a limited number of functions
histology is the
study of tissues
4 types of tissues
epitheloial, connective, muscle tissue, nervous tissue
epithelial tissue does
protect, absorp, filtration, excretion, secretion, sensory
connective tissue does
support, protect, insulate, transport
muscle tissue does
movement, stabilize, regulation
nervous tissue does
transmission of electrical and chemical signals
structures in epithelial tissue
epithelia and glands
characteristics of epithelial tissue
- cellularity
- polarity
- attachment
- avascularity
- arragnement
- regeneration
Epithelial tissue cellularity
cells tightly bound, little intercellular material
Epithelial tissue polarity
apical and basal surface, uneven distribution
Epithelial tissue attachment
basal surface is attached to basal lamina
Epithelial tissue avascularity
no blood vessels
nutrients thru diffusion
Epithelial tissue arrangement
sheets/layers
Epithelial tissue regenerations
mitotically active
most delicate epithelium
simple squamous epithelium
function of simple squamous epithelium
absorpt
secrete
filtrate
reduce friction
stratified squamous epithelium provides
protection from physical and chemical attacks
stratified squamous epithelium kertatinized?!?!?
eitherrrrrrrrr
where is stratified squamous epithelium located
surface of skin, lining of facial things and ass
