Lab #4: animal tissues Flashcards
the four categories of tissues are…
Epithelium Connective Muscle Nervous
(Epithelium) 3 main functions are:
Protection, secretion, absorption
(Epithelium) Location:
covers and lines organs (epidermis; respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts)
(Epithelium) Lacks ___? (receives nutrients from underlying connective tissue)
blood supply
(Epithelium) “___” with tightly packed cells Named by:
sheet-like Number of layers of cells Simple (1 layer), Stratified (>1 layer) Cell Shape
(Epithelium) Cell shape Types:
Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar
(Squamous Epithelium) Cells very ___, much ___ than they are thick (like a fried egg)
thin wider
(Squamous Epithelium) Simple Squamous Epithelium examples:
- Air sacs of respiratory system - Lining of blood vessels, heart and lymphatic tubes
(Squamous Epithelium) Stratified Squamous Epithelium examples:
Skin Vagina Esophagus Mouth

Stratified Squamous Epithelium
(Cuboidal Epithelium)
Cells cube shaped- ___ and absorption
examples
secretion
- Kidney tubules
- Duct and small glands
- Surface of ovary

Cuboidal Epithelium
(Columnar Epithelium)
___cells, much longer than they are wide
Elongated
(Columnar Epithelium)
Simple Columnar Epithelium
A single layer of cells that function in ___ and secretion
Found in the ___ and ___ tract
May be ciliated or nonciliated
Cilia move mucus, debris and foreign up away from lungs up toward throat
absorption
digestive
respiratory

Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
(Connective Tissue)
Tissue ___ and ___
protects
supports
(Connective Tissue)
Contains specialized cells within an extracellular matrix (ECM)
ECM composed of two regions
Ground Substance
- Liquid, Gel-like, solid
Fibers
- Collagen (strongest fiber)
- Elastic (stretchy fiber)
- Reticular (form a network)
(Connective Tissue)
cells that make the fibers are called ___
Fibroblasts
