Exam 1: Ch 5 - Tissues, Glands & Membranes Flashcards
Definition and 4 types tissue
cells within similar structure and fxn. epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
epithelial tissue def
found throughout body covers internal and external surfaces, forms most glands, blood vessels, linings ect.
5 functions of epithelia
- protect underlying structures (outer layer, oral) 2. act as a barrier 3. permit passage of substances 4. secreting substances 5. absorbing substances thinner - secretion, absorption, filtration thicker - barrier, protection
classification of epithelia
according to # cell layers AND shape of cells
Classification of Epithelia chart w/ definition for sqamous, cuboidal, columnar
squamous = scale cuboidal = cube columnar = tall and thin (like column)
simple squamous epithelium = in other words
one layer of thin fat cels
simple squamous epithelium
fxn: absorption through diffusion, filtration, osmosis, secretion
found: lining of blood vessels/heart/lungs
simple cuboidal epithelium
fxn: active transport, facilitated diffusion, allows secretion and absorption by cells
found: kidney, bronchioles, ovaries
simple columnar epithelium
fxn: secretion, absorption. movement mucos( by cilated colmnar epithelium), movement bronchioles and oocyte
found: stomach, intestine, flands, uterus
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
fxn: secrete mucus, move foreign particles over the surface
found: nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi of the lungs
stratified squamous epithelium
fxn: protect against abrasion, barrier against infection, reduces water loss from body
found: skin, mouth, vagina, corneas
transitional epithelium
fxn: allows for fluid retention (volume)
found: urinary bladder, ureters
Connective Tissue def general
material that seperates cells from one another
connective tissue functions (7)
- encloses and seperates (ex capsules around organs)
- connects tissues to one another (ex tendons)
- supporting and moving (ex skeletal sys)
- storing (adipose tissue)
- cushioning, insulation
- transporting (blood)
- protecting( agains toxins, bones protect organs)
classification connective tissue table
Loose aka..
fibrous
areolar CT
fxn: support, nourishment, fills space btw glands ect, basement membrance usually rest on loose CT, attaches skin to underlying tissue
found: widely throughout body
