Intro Flashcards
four tissue types?
Epihelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Epithelial Tissue
Classified by shape :Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar
Clasified by layers: simple, stratified, Psuedostratified
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Location: kidney tubules, glands and liver
Function: Absorption
Simple columnar Epithelium
Location: Stomach and intenstines
Function: absorption and secretion
Kertatinized Stratified Squamous
Location: Epidermal layer of skin
Function: retards water loss and penetration of organisms
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous
Location: found on tounge, oral mucosa, vagina, esophagus
Function: slippery layer, moist, abrasian resistant
Transitional epithelium
Location: urinary tract, bladder
Function: strechy
Three kinds of muscle
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Pseudostratified Epithelium
Location: Respiratory Passages
Function: secretes mucus and propels/traps dust away
Connective tissue types
Dense connective tissue
loose connective tissue
Cartilage
Dense regular connective tissue
Location: ligaments and tendons
Function: holds bone
Dense Irregular Connective tissue
Location: Demis and sheaths, arround cartilage and bone
Function: Withstands pressure in all directions
Elastic tissue
Function: expansion/recoil
Location: lungs, trachea, arteries, artrioles
Loose CT reticular
Location: spleen, thymus liver, Lymph nodes
Function: Forms supportive stroma
Areolar tissue
Function: Underlies epithelia forming passageway for nerves & blood vessels; fascia (sheath) between muscles, connects different types of tissues
Location: Attaches nearly all epithelia to lower layers,
