Exploring tissues Flashcards
simple
single layer of cells
stratified
more than one layer of cells
Basal lamina
basement membrane - foundation of epithelial cell
Connective tissue proper
Adipose, Dense regular, Dense irregular, Elastic connective
Dense regular connective tissue
found in tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
Dense irregular connective tissue
found in dermis of skin & in organs such as kidneys, testes, liver & spleen.
Elastic connective tissue
found in walls of arteries, stomach, large airways, bladder, regions of the heart
Specialized connective tissues
Hyaline cartilage, Elastic cartilage, Fibrocartilage, Bone
Hyaline cartilage
found in part of nasal septum, rings in trachea & bronchi, protects ends of long bones
Elastic cartilage
found in external ears
Fibrocartilage
found in spaces between the vertebrae of spin, between bones in pelvic grindle & in knee joint
Muscle tissues
Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac
Skeletal tissue
found in bone & skin; voluntary control
Smooth tissue
found in walls of hollow organs; involuntary
Cardiac tissue
found in the heart; involuntary
Parts of neurons
cell body, dendrites, axon
Cell body (perikaryon)
contains nucleus, controls metabolism
Dendrites
receive impulses from other cells
Axon
conducts impulses away from cell body
Simple squamous
found lining surfaces involved in passage of gas or liquid
Simple cuboidal
found in regions where secretion & absorption take place
Simple columnar
found lining gastrointestinal tract from stomach to rectum
Stratified squamous
if keratinized: skin; nonkerantinized: oral such as lining of mouth
Stratified cuboidal
found alone large excretory ducts (sweat glands, mammary glands, saliva glands)
