Histology Flashcards
Name the 4 types of tissue.
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscular Tissue
- Nervous Tissue
Simple Squamous Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Passage of materials via diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae
B. Kidney glomeruli; airs sacs of lungs; lining of heart; blood and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Secretion and absorption
B. Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface
Simple Columnar Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes; and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus by ciliary action
B. Digestive tract, gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; small bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Secretion of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
B. Sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; trachea and upper respiratory tract
Stratified Squamous Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
B. Nonkeratinized type form the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, vagina, urethra and anus. Kerantinized type forms the epidermis of the skin
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Protection
B. Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands
Stratified Columnar Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Protection and secretion
B. Rare in body; small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands
Transitional Epithelium Tissue
(A.) Function
(B.) Location
A. Stretches readily and permits dissension of urinary organ by contained uterine.
B. Lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra.
