Ch 3 Flashcards
Types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, and neural
Epithelial
covers body surfaces, polarity, no vascularity, regeneration
Functions: protection, permeability, sensation, secretion
no matrix
Basal side
grows off basal lamina, bottom, base
Apical side
top, apex, faces outside world
Lateral side
cell junctions, next to each other, lateral/side
Simple
single layer
Psuedostratified
simple that appears stratified
Stratified
two or more layers
Squamous
flat cells
Cuboidal
cube or hexagon shapes
Columnar
tall and cylindrical
Transitional
shape changes
Simple Squamous
diffusion (blood vessels, lungs)
Simple Cuboidal
absorption, secretion (glands, ducts)
Simple Columnar
protection, absorb, secretion (stomach, intestine, gallbladder)
Psuedostratified Columnar
protection, secretion (respiratory tract)
Stratified Squamous
protection against abrasion (skin, mouth, anus)
Stratified Cuboidal
secretion (sweat glands)
Stratified Columnar
protection, secretion (pharynx)
Transitional
expansion and recoil w/o tearing (bladder, renal pelvis)
Glandular
Epi cells form a gland
Exocrine gland
secrete products into ducts that open onto a surface
Endocrine gland
secrete products into tissue fluid of blood
Unicellular
single cell, goblet cell
Secretory sheets
one large sheet covering a surface, multicellular
Multicellular simple glands
have one distinct duct with outpocketing
Duct
tube that connects to a surface that doesn’t produce secretions
Multicellular compound glands
many distinct ducts with outpocketing
Exocrine glands- merocrine glands
secrete via cytosis (vesicles w/o cytoplasm bring product to the surface) (salivary glands)
