Histology Flashcards
what tissue is the shape of cells in simple squamous epithelium?
single layer , flat irregular shape similar to “fried egg”
how many layers are in simple squamous epithelium?
1 layer
in What tissue do: Alevoli (air sacs) in lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between between the blood and inhaled air.
Simple squamous epithelium
which tissue lines the tubules of the kidneys for absorption and also aides in re absorption of nutrients
simple cuboidal epithelium
what is the shape of simple cuboidal epithelium
cube like shape are as tall as they are wide
how many layers are there in simple cuboidal epithelium?
1 layer
shape of simple columnar epithelium?
column like shaped , taller then they are wide
how many layers are in simple columnar epithelium >
one
what is the function of simple columnar epithelium in the lining lumen of stomach and intestines ?
they help with secretion and absorption, also goblet cells release a mucin to aid in this process
shape of Ciliated Psuedostratified columnar epithelium
Column shaped with hair like structure around the cell
how many layers does ciliated psudeostratifed columnar epithelium have?
1 layer
why is tissue psuedostratified named this?
named because at first glance it looks like it has multiple layers but it only has one layer that is attached to the basement layer
what is the function of Ciliated Psuedostratified Epithelium in the bronchi and trachea?
the Cilia help propel dust particles and foreign materials away from the lungs, and nasal cavity and help move stuff through the trachea
how many layers does Stratified squamous epithelium
multiple
what is the shape of stratified squamous epithelium
basale layer is shaped cuboidal the apical layer is flattened and irregular
