Lab Histogy Flashcards
four general tissue types:
1-epithelial tissue
2-muscle tissue
3-connective tissue
4- nervous tissue
thin extracellular structure that consists of two layers; the basal lamina and the reticular lamina.
Basement membrane
The side of the epithelial tissue facing
the basement membrane is the
Basal surface
The side of the epithelial tissue facing the environment, lumen
or body cavity is the
Apical surface
cells are thin and flat and are much wider than they are thick
Squamous cells
cells are cube-shaped, and their
nucleus is typically located in the center of the cell.
Cuboidal cells
cells are taller than they are wide and their
nucleus is typically located in the inferior part of the cell.
Columnar cells
