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
cuboidal when it is not stretched and squamous when stretched
Transitional Epithelium
some cells have microvilli
(intestine) or cilia (terminal
bronchioles of the lungs)
Simple Columnar Epithelium
single layer cells, some cells are tall and thin and reached free surface
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
cells that are ciliated and are associated with goblet cells
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
some cells have microvilli
(kidney tubules) or cilia (terminal
bronchioles of the lungs)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Connecting tissues to one another
Connective tissue
non living cell
smooth and thinner
non-keratinized
hard in texture
keratinized
areolar, adipose, reticular are?
Loose PM
Regular and Irregular
Dense PM
fine networks of fibers
areolar
packing material for thermal insulation
contains fat
cytoplasm are pushed to periphery
adipose
fine networks of reticular fibers
forms the framework of lymphatic tissue,
such as in the spleen and lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow
and the liver
net like
reticular
