Epithelium Tissue Flashcards
Is epithelium vascular or Avascular
Avascular
What’s the difference between simple and stratified epithelium
Simple- one layer
Stratified- multiple layers
What is
Location- alveoli in lungs, blood vessel, lymphatic vessels
Function- material passes through diffusion and filtration and secretes substances
Flattened, wider than tall
simple squamous epithelium
What ET
Location- small thyroid gland and kidney tubules
Function- secretes and absorbs
As wide as tall
simple cuboidal epithelium
What ET
Location- gastrointestinal tract, uterus
Function- absorbs and secretes mucous and enzymes
Taller than wide
simple columnar epithelial
What ET
Location- lines the bronchi, trachea, upper respiratory tract
Function- secretes mucus and ciliated tissue moves mucus
pseudo-stratified
What ET
Location- esophagus, mouth, vagina
Function- protects against abrasions
stratified squamous epithelium
What ET
Location- sweat glands
Function- protect tissue
stratified cuboidal epithelium
What ET
Location- male and female urethrae and ducts some glands
Function- secretes and protects
stratified columnar epithelium
What ET
Location- bladder, urethra, and the ureters
Function- allows the urinary organs to expand and stretch
Transitional epithelium
What ET
Location- tongue, esophagus, oral muscle
Function- fight of mechanical abrasion but not as much
non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What ET
Location- epidermis of skin
Function- protection against mechanical abrasion
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What Synthesize and secretes chemical substances
Have endocrine and exocrine
glandular epithelium
Compare and contrast exocrine and endocrine glands
Contrast
En-into bloodstream ex-out bloodstream
En-no duct ex-has duct
En- fewer ex-lots!!
Compare
Glands
Secretes
Glandular epithelial
Cubical
What is a Groups of cells and cell product that works together to preform a common function
