Lab exam 1 Histology Flashcards
Cells that are packed together near an open space, contain basement membranes and are for absorption secretion and protection
Epithelial Tissue
Flat Scale-like tissue shape
squamous
rounded cube tissue shape
Cuboidal
Tall rectangular, or tall cylindrical tissue shape
Columnar
Combination of different tissue shapes
Transitional
One cell layer thick, used for absorption and filtration
Simple
More than one cell layer, used for tolerating wear and tear/ resisting trauma
Stratified
Single layer that appears to be multiple layers because of disorganized nucleii
pseudostratified
Function: Allows material to pass through by diffusion and secretion
Simple Squamous
Location: Air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood and lymphatic vessels
Simple Squamous
Function: secretes and absorbs, produces mucus and moves the mucus
SImple Cuboidal
Location: Liver, thyroid, mammary and salivary glands, bronchioles in lungs and kidney tubules
Simple Cuboidal
Function: Mucus movement and creation
Ciliated Simple Columnar
Location: Ciliated tissues, bronchi, oviducts, uterus
Ciliated Simple Columnar
Function: Secretion and Absorption
Non-ciliated Simple columnar
Location: Bladder and uterus
Non-ciliated Simple Columnar
Function: Secretes and moves mucous
Pseudostratified Columnar
Location: Upper respiratory tract/trachea
ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar
Location: Male Urethra and epididymis
non-ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar
Function: Abrasion resistance and protection
keratinized stratified squamous
