Histology Flashcards
4 main types of tissues
Nervous
Muscle
Epithelial
Connective
Tissue Membranes
Connective tissue membrane
Epithelial Membrane
Epithelial shapes
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
Epithelial layers
Simple
Stratified
Simple
1 layer
Stratified
Several layers
Simple squamous function
Allows for very rapid diffusions
Ability to secrete
Involved in filtration
Simple squamous located
Lungs
Lines blood vessels and chambers in the heart
Simple cuboidal function
Involved in absorption and secretion
filtration in kidneys
hormone secretion in the ovaries
Simple cuboidal location
Sweat and sebaceous glands
Secretion
Substance LEAVES cell through exocytosis
Absorption
Substance ENTERS the cell through endocytosis
Simple columnar function
Highly involved in secretion
Goblet cell
Secrete mucous
Simple columnar location
Non-ciliated
Lines the stomach, small and large intestine
Ciliated
Fallopian tubes, uterine tubes, lines small bronchi
Cilia
Prevents secretion and absorption
Helps move fluids through tissues
Pseudo stratified function
Tissue protection
Involved in secretion
Keratinized stratified
Surface has dead squamous cells packed with keratin protein
Keratinized stratified
Decreases water movement protects against microorganisms epidermis
Non-keratinized
No surface layer of dead cells
Exocrine glands
Maintain connection to the surface with a duct
Epithelial tube
Endocrine gland
Have no duct
Secrete their products directly into the blood stream
Name the 2 types of Exocrine Glands
Simple (unbranched duct)
Compound (branched duct)
Exocrine gland shapes
Tubular (long tubes)
Acinar (sacs)
Tubuloacinar (both)
