Chapter 1 - Tissue Types Flashcards
Epithelial, Connective, Myscular, Nervous
Simple epithelium: single layer cells
Name them:
Squamous(pavement) epithelium
Cuboudal (cubical) epithelium
Culumnar epithelium
Ciliated epithelium
Simple epithelium: single layer cells
Squamous (pavement) epithelium
Single layer of flat cells; Linings of blood vessels, heart, alveoli, lymphatic vessels.
Simple epithelium: single layer cells
Cuboidal cubicle epithelium
Cube-shaped; secretory function in some glands, such as thyroid.
Simple epithelium: single layer cells
Columnar epithelium
Single layer, cylindrical cells; inner lining for stomach, intestines, gallbladder, bile ducts.
Simple epithelium: single layer cells
Ciliated epithelium
Cylindrical cells with cilia; lining of nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi.
Compound epithelium: different layers of cells
Stratified epithelium
Flattened cells on bed of columnar cells; epidermis of skin, lining of mouth, pharynx, esophagus, conjunctiva.
Compound epithelium: different layers of cells
Transitional epithelium
Pear-shaped cells; lining of bladder, etc.
Basement membrane (baseplate)
Made predominantly of collagen; underlies epithelial tissue; serves stabilizing and other functions, including joining epithelial and connective tissues.
Connective tissue
Areolar
Elastic; supports organs, between muscles.
Connective tissue
Adipose
Cells with fat globules; between muscle and organs.
Connective tissue
White fibrous
Strong closely-packed, ligaments binding bones; periosteum covering bone; covering of organs; fascia over muscle.
Connective tissue
Yellow elastic
Elastic; in areas requiring recoil, such as trachea, cartilage, bronchi, lungs.
Connective tissue
Lymphoid
Lymphocytes; make up lymphoid tissue of tonsils, adenoids, lymphatic nodes.
Connective tissue
Cartilage: firm and flexible
1) hyaline cartilage: bluish white and smooth; found on articulating surfaces of bones, costal cartilage of ribs, larynx, trachea, and bronchial passageway.
2) fibrocartilage; dense white flexible fibers; intervertebral discs, between surfaces of knee joints.
3) yellow (elastic) cartilage: firm elastic, Pinna, epiglottis.
Connective tissue
Blood
Corpuscles (cells: red, white) platelets, blood plasma.
Connective tissue
Bone: hardest connective tissue
1) compact bone: has haversian canal, lamellar structure.
2) cancellous (spongy) bone: spongy appearance, larger haversian canal, red bone marrow producing red and white blood cells and plasma.
Muscular
Striated
Skeletal, voluntary.
Muscular
Smooth
Muscle of internal organs, involuntary.
Muscular
Cardiac
Combination of striated and smooth, involuntary.
Nervous
Neurons
Transfer information; communicating tissue.
Nervous
Glial cells
Nutrient transfer; blood-brain barrier.
