Epithelial tissue Flashcards
Line the surface/ body cavity
Epithelial tissue
Serves as gland
Epithelial tissue
Elongated cells with extremely fine process
Nervous tissue
Aggregated polyhedral cells
Epithelial tissue
Elongated contractile cells
Muscle tissue
Several types of fixed and wandering cells
Connective tissue
Has very small amount of ECM
Nervous
Small amount of ECM
Epithelial
Moderate ammount of ECM
Muscle
Abundant ECM
Conective tissue
Transmission of nerve impulses
Nervous tissue
Lining of surface or body cavity and for glandular secretion
Epithelial tissue
Strong contraction and body movement
Muscle tissue
Support and protection of tissues and organs
Connective tissue
Most organs can be divided into
Stroma and Parenchyma
Group of cell or tissue responsible for organs specialized functions
Parenchyma
Example of parenchyma
lungs, parenchyma is alveoli
cells that has supporting role in the organ; hold the organ
Stroma
Principal functions of epithelial tissue
- Covering, lining and protecting surfaces (epidermis)
- Absorption (intestinal lining)
- Secretion ( Parenchymal cells of gland)
Specific cells of certain epithelia may be
contractile (Myo epithelial cells) or Specialized sensory cells (taste buds or olfactory epithelium)
Oblong/ rectangular shape
columnar epithelium
circle/square shape
Cuboidal Epithelium
flat
Squamous Epithelium
lines the intestine and stomach
Columnar epithelium
Epidermis type of epithelial tissue
Squamous epithelium
Shape and layer of epithelial tissues are dicatated by
their functions
one layer of epithelial tissue
simple
Multiple layers of epithelial tissue
Stratified
False stratified
Pseudo stratified
Most epithelia rest on
Connective tissue
Contains microvasculature that brings oxygen and nutrients to both tissues
Connective tissue
The connective tissue that underlies the epithelia lining the organs of digestive, respiratory and urinary system
Lamina propria
The area of contact between epithelium between epithelium and CT may be increased by irregularities at the interface in the form of small evaginations called
Papillae
Papillae occurs only in
epithelial tissues subject to frictions like covering of the skin or tongue.
Through____ the oxygen and nutrients from CT goes to ET.`
Diffussion
It divides CT and ET
Basement Membrane
boundary between CT and ET
Basement Membrane
Structure that Epithelial tissue sits on
Basement Membrane
groove
Basement Membrane
All epithelial cells in contact with subjacent CT have at their basal surface a specialized, feltlike sheet of ECM reffered to
Basement Membrane
