classification of epithelial tissue:
simple
single layer
classification of epithelial tissue:
stratified
2+ layers on top of each other
classification of epithelial tissue:
pseudostratified
appears stratified but really only a single layer of cells
classification of epithelial tissue:
squamous
thin, flat cells like floor tiles
classification of epithelial tissue:
cuboidal
like dice
classification of epithelial tissue:
columnar
width of cell shorter than height
simple squamous epithelium
flattened, irregularly shaped cells in a single layer
substances diffuse easily through it
4 basic tissue types:
epithelial (def)
lines internal and external surfaces of the body, protection, secretion, and absorption
4 basic tissue types:
connective (def)
most abundant tissue and has multiple purposes, including support, protect organs and bind other tissues to each other
4 basic tissue types:
nervous (def)
contains excitable cells to rapidly transmit
elastic fiber (function)
allows connective tissue to stretch and move
reticular fiber (function)
forms a fine mesh that supports soft tissues like liver, bone marrow, and lymph
ground substance (function)
provides physical support, water storage, and lubrication. Enables nutrient and waste exchange
collagen fiber (function)
provides strength to the connective tissue
fibroblast (function)
secretes strong fibrous proteins and proteoglycans that form the extracellular matrix
