EXERCISE 9 EPITHELIAL TISSUE Flashcards
Tissue that cells are compactly arranged with little or no intercellular space between them.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
They function best for covering and protection
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
This tissue is found lining the outer and inner surfaces of the body such as the skin, lining of the digestive system, living of glands, blood vessels, mouth, nose, and anus.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Epithelial tissue that only has one layer of cells
Simple Epithelium
Epithelial tissue that only has many layer of cells
Stratified Epithelium
Endothelium of Artery
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- flat cells
- irregular outline of the cells, neighboring cells fit into each other
- cheek toothpick
Kidney/Liver
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- short and cube-like cells
Small Intestine
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- cells are elongated and prismatic due to the pressure exerted by the neighboring cells
- taller and narrower than those of cuboidal epithelium.
Skin
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- structure consists of several layers of cells
- basal cells are elongated and receives more nutrition and capable of repeated cell division
- as cells approach the free surface, they eventually become flattened due to wear and tear
- being farther way from the source of nutrition; these cells gradually die and are cast off
Bronchi
Pseudostratified Epithelium
- in fact a simple epithelium, peculiar arrangement of its cells gives a layered appearance
Trachea
Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
- cells are columnar, supported by basement membrane
- has fine hair-like structure; ilia
Urinary Bladder
Transitional Epithelium
- in an empty bladder, the superficial cells are low cuboidal or columnar
- when the bladder is full of urine, it will stretch over a fold, the cells exhibit a squamous appearance
- the cells of this epithelium have the ability to rearrange the number of cell layers depending it is distorted or contracted
- the cell show transition from one shape into another shape of epithelial cells
found in air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels
simple squamous
lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
stratified squamous
located in ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules
cuboidal
ciliated tissues are in bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus
columnar
found in our respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes women
ciliated epithelium
ciliated tissues line the trachea and much of the upper respiratory
pseudostratified
lines the bladder, urethra, and the ureters
transitional
A type of tissue that lines certain internal organs and makes and releases substances in the body, such as mucous, digestive juices, and other fluids. Glandular tissue is commonly found in the breast, lung, stomach, colon, pancreas, prostate, uterus, and cervix. Also called glandular epithelium.

FAMILIARIZE
Each cilium comprises nine pairs of microtubules that form the outside ring and two central microtubules. This structure is called an axoneme. The nine outer pairs are made up of motor proteins called dynein. These are large and flexible that allows the cilia to move.
