histology
4 types of tissues
1 Epithelial tissue
2 Connective tissue
3 Muscle tissue
4 Nerve Tissue
consist of multiple layers of cell
Stratified Epithelial
One layer of cells
Each cell extending from the BASEMENT membrane to the FREE SURFACE
Simple Epithelial
covers and protects
surfaces, both outside and inside the body
Epithelial Tissue
special type
of simple epithelium.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
single layer of thin, flat square
cells
Simple squamous epithelium
T or F
Simple squamous epithelium also prevents abrasion between
organs in the parietal cavity of pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities
T
single layer of cube like
cells
Simple cuboidal epithelium
-larger volume than squamous
they have a greater secretory capacity than simple squamous
epithelial cells.
Simple Cuboidal E
single layer of tall, thin cells.
The large size of these cells enables them to
perform complex functions.
Simple Cuboidal
is a clear, thick fluid that
protects the lining of the intestine
Mucus
Lining of blood vessels and the heart, lymphatic vessels, alveoli of the lungs, portions of the kidney tubules, lining of serous membranes of body cavities (pleural, pericardial, peritoneal)
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Secretion and absorption by cells of the kidney tubules; secretion by cells of glands and choroid plexuses; movement of particles embedded in mucus out of the terminal bronchioles by ciliated cel
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
cuboidal in the basal surface squamous on the free surface
could be keratinized or non keratinized
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
