Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
covers surface of ovary; lines inner surface of cornea and lens of eye, kidney tubules and smaller ducts of many glands
c. Function; secretion and absorption
- Simple columnar epithelium (non-ciliated)
b. Location; lines stomach, small and large intestines, digestive glands and gall bladder.
c. Function; secretion and absorption
- Simple columnar epithelium (ciliated)
b. Location; lines a few portions of upper respiratory tract and the uterine (fallopian) tubes.
c. Function - Moves mucus by ciliary action.
- Stratified Squamous epithelium
b. Location; non-keratinizing variety lines wet surfaces such as mouth, esophagus, part of epiglottis, and vagina Keratinizing variety forms outer layer of skin (epidermis)
c. Function – protection
keratin
water proofs skin
- Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
b. Location; ducts of adult sweat glands
c. Function – Protection/excretion
- Stratified columnar epithelium
b. Location – lines part of male urethra and some larger excretory ducts,
c. Function; protection and secretion
- Stratified Transitional Epithelium
b. Location; Lines urinary bladder
c. Function; permits distention
- Pseudostratified epithelium
b. Location; Lines larger excretory ducts of many large glands and male urethra; ciliated variety with goblet cells lines most of the upper respiratory tract and some ducts of male reproductive system
c. Function; secretion and movement of mucus by ciliary action.
D. Glandular Epithelium
liver and pancreas does both
Exocrine
product into duct
Endocrine
secretes hormone into blood
intercellular substance contains (a matrix )
a. fluid
b. semisolid
c. mucoid (mucus like)
general functions of connective tissue
connection, support, binding
loose conective tissue has what thee fibers
Collagenous, elastic, reticular
D. Dense connective tissue
has all three fibers but collagen predominates
- Embryo
first 8 wks
fetus
8 wks and up
- mesenchyme
embryonic connective tissue
areolar
binds skin to muscle layer benith
F. Adult Connective Tisssue function
c. Function; strength, elasticity, support, phagocytosis, produces antibodies, and an anticoagulant
a. Description; contains fibroblasts specialized for fat storage, cells have a “signet-ring” shape
b. Location; subcutaneous layer of skin, around heart and kidneys, marrow of long bones, padding around joints
c. Function; reduces heat loss through skin, serves as a food reserve, supports and protects.
- Adipose- lipid
