Human Bio Module 2 Flashcards
Four types of tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Exocrine glands
Secrete products into a duct or hollow organ
Endocrine glands
Secrete products into bloodstream
Squamous
Flat epithelial cells
Cuboidal
Cube shaped epithelial cells
Columnar
Tall, rectangular epithelial cells
Simple squamous
Blood vessels
Air sacs of lungs
Permits exchange of gas, nutrients, and waste
Simple cuboidal
Kidney tubules and glands
Secrete and reabsorb water and small molecules
Simple columnar
Most digestive organs
Absorb nutrients and produces mucus
Stratified squamous
Outer layer of skin, mouth, and vagina
Protects against abrasion, dehydration, and infection
Stratified cuboidal
Ducts of sweat glands
Secretes water and ions
Rare
Stratified cuboidal
Epididymus, mammary glands, and larynx
Secretes mucus
Rare
Basement membrane
Non-cellular layer under epithelial
Made of proteins
Provides support and attaches epithelial to underlying tissues
Tight junctions
Seal plasma membrane tightly together
Digestive tract lining and bladder lining
Adhesion junctions/spot desmosomes
Permit some movement between cells
Allows tissue to stretch and bend
Skin, cardiac muscle cells
Gap junctions
Protein channels enable movement of materials between cells
Liver, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle
