Histology Flashcards
simple squamous
tight junction, blood vessels (endothelium), body cavities (mesoderm), bowmans capsule, alveoli
simple cubodial
ducts of glands (sweat), most kidney tubules
simple squamous function
fluid transport, gas exchange, lubrication
simple cuboidal function
secretory and absorptive function
simple columnar
lining of stomach, lining of intestines, lining of uterus and oviducts, lining of paranasal sinus, ependymal cells of spinal cord, wall of large kidney ducts
simple columnar function
protection, secretion, absorption, transport
stratified squamous general
joined by desmosomes, protection, keratinized and nonkeratinized
nonkeratinized stratified squamous
have nuc, moist cavities- oral, esophagus, vagina, anal
keratinized stratified squamous
no nuc or cyto, surface of skin, thick- sole of foot
stratified cuboidal
lining of sweat gland
stratified columnar
conjunctivia of the eye, lining ducts of some large glands
transitional epithelium
2-6 layers, urinary system- bladder, urethra, ureter, empty apical- round, full apical- flattened, cells joined by desmosomes, barrier bw urine and underlying tissue
pseudostratified columnar
resp system- trachea, primary bronchi, nasal cavity, cilia on apical sides
glandular epithelim
exocrine and endocrine glands
exocrine glands
maintain contact w surface epi- secrete fluids onto surface via ducts
