Chapter 4: Tissues Flashcards
covers surfaces, line spaces/passageways, form glands
epithelial tissue
fill internal spaces, support other tissues, transport materials, store lipids
connective tissue
in skeletal muscle, the heart, walls of various organs
muscle tissue
in brain, spinal cord, and nerves
neural tissue
functions of epithelial tissue?
form protective barriers, control permeability (diffusion), produce specialized secretions
epithelial tissue characteristics?
tightly packed cells, may be specialized for certain functions, exhibit polarity, avascular (without vessels), can regenerate
superficial cells are dead
keratinized
superficial cells are living
nonkeratinized
simple squamous function?
rapid diffusion, filtration, and some secretion
simple squamous location?
inner layer of membrane around the embryo, air sacs in lungs, lining of heart chambers, and serous membranes of body cavities
simple cuboidal function?
absorption and secretion
simple cuboidal location?
kidney tubules, ducts and secretory regions of most glands, surface of ovary
noncilated simple columnar function?
absorption and secretion of mucin
noncilated simple columnar location?
lining of most digestive tract
cilated simple columnar function?
secretion and movement of mucus along cilia, oocyte movement through uterine tube
cilated simple columnar location?
lining of uterine tubes and larger bronchioles of respiratory tract
psuedostratified columnar function?
protection
