EPITHELIUM TISSUES Flashcards
ID the tissue
Simple Squamous epithelium
A single layer of flat cells(looks like a platter of fried eggs “sunny-side up”
Location: Air sacs (alveoli) of lungs & lining of blood vessels.
Function: diffusion or filtration needs to occur rapidly
Simple squamous epithelium
A single layer of roughly cube-shaped cells
Location: Lines kidneys tubles and small ducts of glands(thyroid glands)
Function: Allows for reabsorption and secretion.
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
A single layer of tall rectangular cells
Location: lines the gall-bladder and the most of the G.I. tract, digestive tract
Function: absorption & secreation
Simple Columnar Epithelium
ID the tissue
Simple Columnar Epithelium
ID the tissue
Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium
Its the most superficial, multiple cell layers, flat, elongated, nuclei
Location: oral cavity
function: withstand mechanical force (tough stuff)
NonKeratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium
What is the FUNCTION of simple squamous epithelium?
Function: diffusion and filtration, and secretes lubricating substance
What is the LOCATION of simple squamous epithelium?
Air Sacs (alveoli) of lungs.
lines the inside of heart & lining of blood vessels.
the FUNCTION of simple cuboidal epithelium?
secretion and reabsorption of molecules(hormones)
the LOCATION of simple cuboidal epithelium?
lining of the kidney tubules and ducts of glands (thyroid glands)
the FUNCTION of simple columnar epithelium?
absorption of molecules.
Absorption and secretion
the LOCATION of Non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
lining your oral cavity, vagina, rectum, anus
The function of Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
with stand mechanical force (tough stuff)
columnar & basal cells. All cells rest on basement membrane.
Location: lining the trachea, bronchi
Function: secretes mucus
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium?
the LOCATION of the Pseaudostratified (Ciliated) columnar epithelium?
Respiratory tract: lining the trachea, bronchi
The FUNCTION of Pseudostratified (Ciliated) columnar epithelium?
Secretes mucus
ID the epithelium tissue
Pseudostratified (Ciliated) columnar epithelium
What would be some consequences to a person if the Psedostratified (ciliated) columnar epithelium was not working properly?
it wouldn’t be able to secrete mucus which wouldn’t be able to trap foreign bodies and sweep them through the coordination of cilia.
ID the tissue
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
The most superficial cell have no nuclei. Multiple cell layers: cells are squamous & elongated.
Location: the EPIDERMIS of the skin.
Function: prevents water loss
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
LOCATION of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
The epidermis of the skin
FUNCTION of the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
Prevents water loss
ID the tissue
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
2 cell layers thick, cube shaped cells
Location: lining large ducts of glands (sweat glands)
Function: sweat
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
LOCATION of stratified cuboidal epithelium?
lining large ducts of glands (sweat glands)
FUNCTION of stratified cuboidal epithelium?
protection, secretion (Sweat)
ID the tissue
Transitional Epithelium
flat and thin when stretched
Location: lining the ureters & uninary bladder
Function: able to stretch
Transitional Epithelium
Location of Transitional Epithelium
lining the uninary bladder
FUNCTION of Transitional Epithelium?
able to stretch
If stratified cuboidal epithelium were to be destroyed in your body, what would you will not be able to do? why is it important
you wont be able to sweat. Its important because it regulates your body temperture- it cools down your body when you are hot.
What epithelial tissues would you find in this organ?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
What epithelial tissue would find in this organ?
Simple columnar Epithelium
What epithelial tissue would be found in this organ?
Transitional epithelium
