ch 4 identifying types of tissues Flashcards
features of epithelial tissue
- cellularity & specialized contacts
- polarity
- Avascular
- has a nerve supply
- high capacity of renewal
what is cellularity & specialized contacts (feature of epithelial tissue)
cells fit closely together with little extracellular material between them
what does polarity mean in epithelial tissue
one free surface (apical surface) and one connected surface (basal surface)
what does avascular mean in epithelial tissue
no blood supply
what are classifications of epithelial tissue
- arrangement
- simple
- stratified - cell shape
- squamous
-cuboidal
- columnar
simple squamous epithelium tissue (w.m) location
lines heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels
simple squamous epithelium tissue (w.m) function
filtration, diffusion, osmosis, secretion in serous membrane
IDENTIFY SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL TISSUE IN MICROSCOPE
single layer of flat cells-looks like tiled floor…oval or spherical in shape
IDENTIFY SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE IN MICROSCOPE
single layer of cube shaped cells has nucleus, oval shaped ring with lumen (looks like air pocket inside)
simple squamous epithelial tissue (c.s) location
kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of the heart and blood vessels
simple squamous epithelial tissue (c.s) function
allows materials to pass through via diffusion.
filtration
IDENTIFY STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL TISSUE IN MICROSCOPE
two or more layers of cells
apical layer and several layers deep are squamous
deep layers are cuboidal or columnar
what is a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
a type of stratified squamous epithelial tissue
develops a tough layer of keratin in apical layer and several deep to it
what is keratin
tough protein that helps protect the skin and underlying tissues from microbes, heat and chemicals
what is/ what does nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium do
does not contain keratin in apical layers and several layers deep to it
remains moist
stratified squamous epithelium tissue location
keratinized-superficial layer of skin
nonkeratinized-lines wet surfaces (lining of mouth, esophagus, vagina) and covers tongue
stratified squamous epithelium tissue function
protection
provides first line of defense against microbes
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue function
secretion and absorption
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue location
lines kidney tubules and smaller ducts of many glands
covers surface of ovary
IDENTIFY SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE
single layer of cube-shaped cells, round, centrally located nucleus.
stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue function
protection and limited secretion and absorption
stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue location
ducts of adult sweat glands and esophageal glands and part of male urethra
IDENTIFY STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE
two or more layers of cells
cells in the apical layer are cube-shaped. fairly rare type
Simple columnar epithelial tissue function nonciliated
secretion and absorption
secreted mucus lubricates linings of digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts.
