True
T/F Has cellularity and is made up of tightly packed cells.
True
T/F Can’t have cilia or microvilli.
False
What are the types of epithelial tissue?
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional, simple, stratifeid
What epithelial tissue is good for diffusion?
Simple Squamous
Where is simple cuboidal located?
Kindey, glands- Excretion
Salivary, thyroid, pancreas liver- absorption
What is the function of simple cuboidal?
secretion and absoption
Where is simple squamous located?
lines inside of blood vessels, heart, capillaries, alveoli
What are the types of glands and their function?
Endocrine- makes their product (always a hormone)
and secretes it into in the matrix
Exocrine- gland secretes its products outside of itself using a duct (ex: saliva, mucous, sweat, oil)
What epithelium absorbs the most and has cilia move things?
Simple columnar
What is the location of simple columnar?
Lines uterus and fallopian tubes, stomach, intestines
What is the body’s wear and tear tissue?
Stratified squamous since it protects us from invasion and fluid loss and is found on the out layer of skin, mouth, throat
Function of psudostratified columnar?
sweep debris out of lungs and has goblet cells that produce mucin and histamine
