Histology- Epi and CT Flashcards
What is tissue?
cells that are not identical but come from the same germ layer and carry out similar function/goal
What is Epithelial tissue?
- Create Barriers
- Avascular
- Uninucleated, polyhedral, polarized cells
Connective tissue
Blood, bone, fat, ligaments, cartilage, loose ct, fill empty spaces vasculature and has nerves
Where does epithelial tissue come from?
From all three germ layers
What are the surfaces of epithelial tissue?
Apical
Basal
lateral surfaces
another name for connective tissue
Mucosa and Submucosa
Basement Membrane
Acellular Separation between epithelial and connective tissue
Where do you find epithelial tissue?
- Cover body surfaces
- Line internal cavities
- Present in various organs and glands
- Line ducts
glandular epithelium…
secretes
myoepithelium…
contracts
neuro-epithelium
sensory
Epithelial tissue nomenclature based on
cell layers
cell shape
surface modifications
What are the three primary cell shapes?
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
What kind of cells are these?
Squamous
what cell type is this?
Simple Cuboidal
What cell type is this?
Columnar
what cell type is this?
transitional
Where would transitional cells be found?
when does it change shape?
urinary tract
(Bladder, renal pelvis, ureters)
empty–>squamous
full–>cuboidal
always name tissue based on its
Most superfical layer
The three types of layers are…
Simple
Layered
Pseudistratified
Pseudostratified are usually _____ and are usually found in _______
ciliated and are in the respiratory sytem
Endothelium
Linning of all vasculature
(Simple Squamous)
Mesothelium
Lines body cavity
(Simple Squamous Epithelium)
Epithelial tissue characteristics
- Not protective ( very thin)
- allows absorption and secretion
- controls permeability
Simple Cuboidal Characteristics
- Locations
- Functions
- Glands, Ducts, thyroid and kidney tubules
- secretion and absorption
Simple Columnar Epithelium characteristics
- locations
- functions
- Gut, gallblader, uterine tines, collecting ducts of kidneys
- Protection (thicker), secretion, absorption
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
- Locations
- Functions
- Nasal cavity, trachea, brochi, poritons of male reproductive tracts
- Protection, secretion, move mucus with cillia
