HAP Test 1c Flashcards
types of tissues
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
epithelial tissue
covers body surface and organs, forms inner lining of body cavity and lines hollow organs, lacks blood vessels
- secretions, absorption and excretion
types of epithelial tissue
- simple squamous
- simple cuboidal
- simple columnar
- pseudostratified columnar
- stratified squamous
- stratified cuboidal
- stratified columnar
- transitional
- glandular
simple squamous epithelium
consists of single layer of thin, flattened cells, nuclei broad and thin
- covers membranes that line body cavities
simple cuboidal epithelium
single-layer of cube-shaped cells, centrally located, spherical nuclei
- secretion and absorption
simple columnar epithelium
composed of single layer of elongated cells whose nuclei are usually about same level, near basement membrane
- globlet cells
- ciliated or nonciliated
- thick
- secretes digestive fluid and absorbs nutrients
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
appear stratified or layered, but not; nuclei are at two or more levels in row of aligned cells yet all reach basement membrane
- contain cilia
- contains globlet cells, secrete mucus
stratified squamous epithelium
may layers of cells, making tissue thick; cells near surface are flat and those in deeper layer are cuboidal and columnar
- keratin
stratified cuboidal epithelium
two or three layers of cuboidal cells that form lining of lumen
- provides more protection
stratified columnar epithelium
consists of several layers of cells, superficial cells are elongated and basal cells are cuboidal
transitional epithelium
specialized to change in response to increased tension
- several layers of cuboidal cells
- expandable lining
- contains few layers of cells
glandular epithelium
composed of cells that are specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids
- found within columnar and cuboidal
- many types
types of glands
- exocrine glands
- endocrine glands
exocrine gland
secrete their products into ducts that open onto surface
endocrine gland
secrete products into tissue fluid or blood
types of exocrine glands
- simple glands
- compound glands
- merocrine glands
- apocrine glands
- holocrine glands
types of simple glands
- simple tubular glands
- simple coiled tubular glands
- simple branched tubular glands
- simple branched alveolar gland
types of compound glands
- compound tubular gland
- compound alveolar gland
simple glands
glands that communicate with surface by means of ducts that do not branch before reaching secretory portion
simple tubular gland
straight tubelike gland that opens directly onto surface
simple coiled tubular gland
long, coiled, tubelike gland, long duct
simple branched tubular gland
branched, tubelike gland, duct short or absent
simple branched alveolar gland
secretory portions of gland expand into saclike compartments along duct
compound glands
glands communicate with surface by means of ducts that branch repeatedly before reaching secretory
compound tubular gland
secretory portions coiled tubules, usually branched
compound alveolar gland
secretory portions are irregularly branched tubules with numerous saclike outgrowths
