FINALS Flashcards
are a group of cells that are similar in structure and coordinate to perform a specific function.
Tissues
Organ system is made up of?

organ system
CATEGORIES OF ANIMAL TISSUES
Epithelial Tissue
Connective Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Nervous Tissue
This tissue is for protection, covering, secretion, absorption.
Epithelial Tissue
This tissue is for binding, support, transport.
Connective Tissue
This tissue is for movement and locomotion.
Muscle Tissue
This tissue is for control and coordination
- Nervous tissue
It covers the outer surface of all the organs of the body and lines the cavities of all the hollow organs
Epithelial Tissue
Where does the cells rest?
Basal Lamina
Classification of cells on the basis of the arrangement of the cells. (3)
Simple Epithelium
Stratified Epithelium
Pseudostratified Epithelium
Cells are found in a single layer attached to the basement membrane
Simple Epithelium
Cells are found in two or more layers stacked on top of each other
Stratified Epithelium
Appear to be more than one cell thick as the nuclei are at different positions, but in fact is a single layer of cells, in contact with the basement membrane
Pseudostratified Epithelium
Classification of cells on the basis of shape. (3)
Squamous epithelium
Cuboidal epithelium
Columnar epithelium
Flat, thin, scale-like cells
Squamous epithelium
Cells that have a basic cube shape (cell’s height and width are equal)
Cuboidal epithelium
Tall, rectangular or column shaped cells. Cells have longer length than width
Columnar epithelium
Single layer of flattened cells with central nuclei. Allows passage of materials by diffusion.
Simple Squamous Epithelium found in Air sacs of lungs, lining of heart and blood vessels
Single layer of cube-like cells with large spherical, central nuclei. Absorption, Filtration and Protection
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium found in Kidney Tubes, ovary, glands
Single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei spherical. Absorption; secretion of mucus, and other substances
Simple Columnar Epithelium found in digestive tract and gall bladder.
Single layer of cells with differing heights; nuclei seen at different levels; may contain mucus-secreting goblet cells and bear cilia. Movement of particles
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium found in trachea, nasal cavities, bronchi
Composed of several cell layers; cells are flattened. Protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
Stratified Squamous Epithelium found in the skin, mouth, anus, vagina
Consists of one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product. Secretion
Glandular Epithelium found in the glands
It is present in between different tissue and organs. It can be found in and around the body organs. Composed mainly of the non-living extracellular matrix that separates the cells of the tissue.
