Chapter 5-tissue Flashcards
Tissue
Group of similar cells that preform a common function
4 Types of tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Nervous
Muscular
Ectoderm
Makes epidermis and nervous
Endoderm
Makes lung tissue thyroid tissue and pancreas tissue
Mesoderm
Makes connective tissue and muscle tissue Cardiac muscle Skeletal muscle Bone Blood Smooth muscle
Epithelial tissue
Covers body surface
Forms glands
Exposed to environment
(Cover over everything)
Glandular epithelium
Exocrine gland- secrete products into ducts
Endocrine glands-secrete hormones into blood
Key component in epithelial tissue is
Extra cellular matrix
Simple squamous epithelium
Allows for diffusion and filtration because of thinness
Lining of blood and lymphatic vessels, alveoli
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Secretes and absorbs
Ducts and tubules of many organs including the kidneys
Simple columnar epithelium
Absorption, secreted mucus by goblet cells
Lines the intestines
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Protection, secretes mucus
Lines trachea, large bronchi, and nasal mucosa
Cutaneous membrane
Largest membrane
Known as the skin
Layer of epithelium resting on connective tissue
Stratified squamous epithelium
Resists abrasion and pathogens, some contain keratin
Epidermis of skin, esophagus, vagina
Transitional epithelium
Stretching to allow filling of urinary tract
Urinary tract
Connective tissue fibers may be
Collagenous-strong and flexible
Reticular- support small structures
Elastic- can stretch and recoil
The basic classification of connective tissue are
Fibrous (lose or dense) connective tissue
Cartilage
Bone
Blood
Lose connective tissue
Fibers are loosely arranged Stretchable Areolar tissue Adipose tissue Reticular tissue
