4 types of tissue
Epithelial connective muscle nervous
Epithelial tissue
Coves and mines body surfaces and cavities
Tightly packed together avascular and highly regenerative
Connective tissue
Connect structures, bind support and protect against other tissues and allow for transportation of substances
Muscle tissue
Allow for contraction
Nervous tissue
Generate send and recieve messages
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
composed of substances in a liquid thick gel or solid that surrounds the cell of a tissue, consists of ground substance and fibers
Epithelial tissues
have a free surface called the apical surface and basal surface to which they are bound
Naming epithelial tissue
based on the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells
simple squamous would be one cell layer thick and flattened
simple epithelia
one cell layer thick
Stratified epithelia
More than one cell layer thick
Squamous
Flat
Cubodial
Cube shaped
Columnar
Tall and elongated
Goblet cell
A specialized type of columnar cell that secretes mucous
Simple squamous epithelium
One cell layer thick flattened cells one location would be lungs alveoli air sacs
Stratified squamous epithelium
Found in areas of abrasion friction. Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium has a found on the outside layer of skin
Simple columnar epithelium
One cell layer thick of columne shaped cells. Ex would be small intestine
Pseudo-stratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Found in the trachea
Transitional epithelium
Several layers of epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina found at n the organs of the urinary system. Cells can change shape from done to squamous when bladder is stretched
Endocrine gland
Secrete the products directly onto bloodstream
Hormones
Exocrine gland
Secrete their locusts through epithelium lined duct
Sweat
Merocrine secretion
Products are packaged in secretory vesicles for release by exocytosis
