Histology Flashcards
Four Basic Types of Tissues
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
Cells: Aggregated Polyhedral
ECM: Small Amount
Function: Lining of Cavities and Glandular Secretion
Epithelial
Cells: Fixed/Wandering
ECM: Abundant
Function: Support and Protection
Connective
Cells: Elongated and Contractile
ECM: Moderate Amount
Function: Body Movement and Contractions
Muscle
Cells: Elongated with Fine Processes (Dendrites)
ECM: Very Small Amount
Function: Transmission of Nerve Impulse
Nervous
Cells that are functioned to
- Protection, Lining, and Covering
- Absorption
- Secretion
Epithelial Tissues
Epithelial are further characterized into 2 groups: (2)
- Covering and Lining
- Glandular Secretions
Covering and Lining of Epithelial Tissues by (2)
- Layer of cells
- Morphology/ Shape of cells
