Histology Flashcards
types of tissue
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
categories of membrane-epithelial
epithelial and connective connected by basement membrane
categories of membrane-connective
multiple layers of connective tissue
epithelial tissue
covers and lines surfaces
avascular
lack of blood vessels
epithelial tissue 1 layer
simple
epithelial tissue multiple layers
stratified
epithelial tissue appearing to have multiple layers but only has one
pseustratified
epithelial flat shape
squamos
epithelial square shape
cubodial
epithelial long shape
columnar
squamos location
blood vessels, eardrum
cubodial location
surface of ovaries, kidney tubules
columnar location
stomach, intestines, brain ventricles
transitional
changes shape, somewhere that stretches such as bladder
goblet cells
mainly in columnar rarely cubodial and produces mucus
cell ending build
-blasts
cell ending break
-clasts
cell ending maintain
-cytes
merocrine
some loss of cell material
apocrine
fragments of cells (larger pieces)
holocrine
shed entire cells
glandular epithelial tissue types
unicellular, tubular, alveolar
collagen
strong yet flexible, most abundant protein, found in bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
