Lab 5 Flashcards
What are the four major types of tissue?
epithelial
connective
muscular
nerve
What are three types of epithelial cells, based on shape?
- squamous
- cuboidal
- columnar
Each epithelial cell type can be further classified, based on the following number of layers
- simple
- stratified
where can simple squamous epithelia be found
The lining of the alveoli of the lungs, blood vessels, and bowman’s capsules of the kidney. They function in secretion and absorption.
Where can stratified squamous epithelia be found
Makes up the epidermis of the skin and the lining of the mouth. they function in protection. they may be keratinized based on location (e.g., palms, soles).
where can simple cuboidal epithelia be found?
makes up glands, surfaces of ovaries, and walls of some kidney tubules. they function in secretion and absorption.
where can transitional epithelium be found?
found in the bladder. Initially stratified cuboidal cells that when stretched become look stratified squamous. function in expansion and recoil
where can simple columnar be found?
can be found lining the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and most parts of the urinary tract. their basic function is absorption and secretion.
what are goblet cells?
Mucus-secreting goblet cells are modified simple columnar cells in the digestive tract. they may be ciliated.
where can ciliated goblet cells be found
lining the majority of the respiratory tract.
where can pseudostratified ciliated columnar be found?
found in the bronchioles. they secrete mucus and the cilia beat in a wave-like manner to create currents for the movement of foreign particles. (absorption, secretion, protection from foreign particles, and transport of materials such as hormones and enzymes)
what are the functions of connective tissue?
- attachment
- connection
- support
- protection
- insulation
- storage
- transport
what does the connective tissue matrix consist of?
fibers and ground substance
What are the types of fibers in connective tissue?
- Collagen
- Elastic
- Reticular (fine net-like collagen fibers)
what are the three categories of connective tissue?
- connective tissue proper
- supporting connective tissues
- fluid connective tissues
