chapter 4 - tissue level of organization Flashcards
what are the four basic types of tissue?
epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
what are the two types of epithelial tissues?
covering and lining & glandular
what forms the outer covering of skin and forms the inner lining of blood vessels, ducts, urinary, and reproductive systems?
covering and lining epithelium
what makes up secreting portions of glands?
glandular epithelium
what is composed of a single layer of flat cells?
simple squamous epithelium
what has an apical surface made up of squamous (flat) cells?
stratified squamous epithelium
what provides protection from friction, radiation, and invasion?
stratified squamous epithelium
what is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body?
connective tissue
what is a non-cellular material located between and around the cells?
extracellular matrix
what does extracellular matrix consist of?
protein fibers and ground substances
what is the “stuff” between the cells and fibers?
ground substance

what type of epithelium tissues are flat, wide, “paving stone” cells?
squamous cells
what type of epithelium tissue are cells that are as tall as they are wide?
cuboidal
what type of epithelium tissue are cells taller than they are wide?
columnar cells
what type of cells are best for secretion and absorption?
cuboidal cells
what type of cells are best used for rapid passage of substances?
squamous cells
what type of epithelial cells contain two or more layers?
stratified (protection)
what type of epithelial cells are arranged in one single layer?
simple (secretion and absorption)
what type of epithelial cells appear to have layers but go from the apex to the base?
pseudostratified (secretion)
what type of glands secrete things outside of the body?
exocrine glands
what type of cells secrete things into ducts that empty onto the surface?
exocrine glands
what type of glands secrete hormones?
endocrine glands
what type of cartilage is located at the ends of long bones?
hyaline
what type of cartilage is locate din discs of the spine?
fibrocartilage
what type of membrane is the skin considered?
cutaneous membrane
what type of membrane is the skin?
cutaneous membrane
what type of membrane lines a body cavity that does not open directly to the outside?
serous membrane
what are the two serous membrane layers?
parietal and visceral
what does the parietal membrane line?
cavities
what does the visceral membrane line?
outer lining of organs
