CHAPTER 4 Flashcards
Epithelial Tissue; function
forms boundaries between different environments, prtects, secretes absorbs, filters
Connective Tissue; function
supports, protects and binds other tissues together
Nervous Tissue; function
internal communication
Muscle Tissue; function
contracts to cause movement; attached to the bone
location of epithelial tissue
body surfaces, line internal cavities, forms glands
Classification of Epithelia
Simple/stratified and squamous/cuboidal/clumnar
Simple Squamous Tissue
Single layer, flattened clls, sparse cytoplasm
simple squamous tissue; function
diffusion and filtration, provide a slick/friction reducing lining
Simple Squamous Tissue; locations
kidney glameruli, lining of hear, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels
Simple Cuboidal
single layer, cube shaped, large/spherical central nuclei
Simple Cuboidal Tissue; function
Secrection and absorption
Simple Cuboidal Tissue; locations
kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands and ovary surface
Simple Columnar
many contain cilia, column like
Simple columnar; Function
absorption and secretion
Simple columnar; ciliated vs non-ciliated
ciliated: line small bronchi, uterine tubes
non-ciliated: lining of digestive tract
