Chapter 2 and 3 Flashcards
What are the functions of epithelium?
Protection, entry and exit, sensation, secretion
What are the 4 types of tissues?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What are the cell shapes?
- cuboidal : cube shaped
- columnar : tall, rectangles
- squamous : flat, scale like
- transitional : can stretch, variety of shapes
What are the epithelial cell layer arrangements?
- simple : single layer
- stratified : multiple layers
- pseudostratified : single layer but looks like multiple layers
Function and location of simple squamous epithelium?
Function- diffusion, osmosis, secretion, reduces friction
Location- air sacs in lungs, kidney, lines heart and blood vessels
What are the special names for simple squamous epithelium?
- endothelium : line circulatory system
- mesothelium : serous membrane
What is the function and location of simple cuboidal epithelium?
Function - secretion and absorption
Location - surface of ovaries, kidneys, and some glands
What is the function and location of simple columnar epithelium?
2 kinds
1- ciliated, function - movement, locations - uterine tubes, para nasal sinuses
2- unciliated, function - produce mucus, location - digestive tract
What is the function and location of Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
Function - secretion and movement
Location - respiratory tract
Function and location of Stratified squamous epithelium?
Function - protection
Location - 2 kinds
- keratinized (waterproof) : outer layer of skin
- non keratinized : mouth, vagina, esophagus, pharynx
Function and location of stratified cuboidal epithelium?
Function - protection
Locations - ducts of sweat glands and salivary glands
Function and location of stratified columnar epithelium?
Function - protection and secretion
Location - male urethra, some ducts of glands
Function and location of transitional epithelium ?
Function - change shape
Location - bladder, urethra, ureter
Epithelial membrane =
Epithelial layer + connective tissue underneath
What are the functions of connective tissue? (CT)
- structure of body
- protection
- support and connection between tissues
- energy storage
- defense
- transport
