CH 4 TISSUES Flashcards
Transitional
lines urinary bladder and changes shape with pressure
Pseudostratified Columnar
lines respiratory tract and contains goblet cells
Keratinized Stratified Squamous
lines external surfaces, example: epidermis
Simple Squamous
lines blood vessels
Simple Cubodial
lines kidney tubules and bronchioles
Simple Columnar
lines inner lining of several organs: stomach, intestines and uterus
Reticular
loose connective tissue located at lymph organs (ex: spleen)
Irregular
dense connective tissue with collagen arranged without a specific pattern & can withstand stretching from several directions
Areolar
loose connective tissue that is gel-like, contains fibroblasts and immune cells, protects and cushions organs
Elastic
dense connective tissue primarily for stretching and returns to resting length between stretches
Regular
dense connective tissue that is poorly vascularized and contains collagen bundles that run parallel to each other to provide strength for tendons
Adipose
loose connective tissue that is highly vascular (lots of blood vessels), contains fat cells and absorbs shock
Elastic Cartilage
cartilage with capacity to stretch and is found at the external ear & epiglottis
Fibrocartilage
cartilage with collagen and is very strong, can absorb shock, & is found at intervertebral discs
