Lab exam 2 Flashcards
Simple Squamous Epithelium - function
This tissue is made of a single layer of flat cells that line an opening. The nuclei of these cells cause bulging.
Simple Squamous Epithelium - Location
- Air sacs of the lungs
- Linings of thin tissue
- Capillaries
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium - function
This tissue is made of a single layer of square-shaped cells that line an opening
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium - Location
- Tubules of the kidneys
- Glands
- Thyroid Follicles
Simple Columnar Epithelium - Function
This tissue is made of a single layer of rectangular-shaped cells that line an opening. Goblet cells in this tissue secrete mucus
Simple Columnar Epithelium - Location
- Lining of the intestines
- Linings of the bronchi
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium - Function
This tissue is made of a single layer of taller cells that line an opening. It looks like multi-layered tissue because the nuclei are at different levels, but it is actually a single layer. Goblet cells secrete mucus.
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium - Location
Trachea
Stratified Squamous Epithelium - Function
This tissue is made of multiple layers of flattened cells. The bottom cells are taller, but the top cells are very flat and lack nuclei because they have died
Stratified Squamous Epithelium - Location
Skin
Transitional Epithelium - Function
This tissue is made of multiple layers of cuboidal type cells. Nuclei are clearly visible on even the outermost layer. The cells that immediately line the opening are called dome cells, and they have a dome shape
Transitional Epithelium - Location
Ureter
Bladder
Areolar Connective Tissue - Function
This tissue has fewer cells with lots of straight collagenous fibers and clear ground substance
Areolar Connective Tissue - Location
- Membranes of the body
- Papillary layer of the dermis of skin
Adipose Connective Tissue - Location
- Hypodermis
- Fat pads around organs
Adipose Connective Tissue - Function
This tissue is made of cells called adipocytes that have a large blob of fat in the center. There is very little cytoplasm and the nucleus is pushed to the side.
