Epithelium, Connective And A Few Xxtra Flashcards
Simple squamous
Rapid diffusion and filteration
-alveoli and mesothelium
Simple cuboidial
Absorption and secretion
-kidney tubules, thyroid gland
Nonciliated simple columnar
Absorption and secretion (mucin)
-digestive tract, lining stomach
ciliated simple columnar
Secretion (mucin) and movement of
-uterine tubes, bronchioles
Pseudostratified columnar (ciliated and nonciliated)
Protection
-ciliated: respiratory tract
-nonciliated: epidiymus
Keratinzied stratified squamous
Protection
-epidermis of skin
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous
Protection

Protection and secretion
-exocrine gland, male urethra
Stratified columnar
Protection and secretion
-exocrine gland, male urethra
Transitional
Distension and relaxation
-urinary bladder
Areolar
Surrounds and protects
-subcutaneous layer
Adipose
Stores energy
-subcutaneous layer
Reticular
Supportive framework
-stroma (spleen, lymph node)
Dense regular
Attachment and resist stress

Serous membrane is composed of
Mesothelium
Parietal meaning lining
Body cavities
Visceral means lining of
Vital organs
Cutaneous +function
Skin
-protection and water loss
Mucous membrane
Perform absorptive, protection and secretory functions
-prevents from drying out
Serous membrane
Produces a thin, watery serous fluid
-reduces friction
Cutaneous membrane
The skin
-protecting internal organs and prevents water loss
Synovial membrane
-Reduces friction in joint cavities
-distributes nutrients
Merorcine gland
Secrete by exocytosis (secretory vesicles)
-salivary gland
Apocrine gland
Accumulate and pinch off then releases
-mammary gland
Holocrine gland
Accumulate then disintegrates
-seabascous glands
