Lab notes Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Lines or covers internal and external body surfaces
- 3 Shapes-Cuboidal, Columnar and Squamous
- Stratified (more than one layer) and Simple (One layer)
Epithelial simple squamous
Delicate, thin-gas exhange
Epithelial stratified squamous
Tough, anti-abrasive coverings, rapid mitosis
Epithelial simple cuboidal
Absorb and secrete. Found in small tubules
Epithelial transitional
Change from cuboidal to squamous-line urinary passages
Epithelial simple columnar
Absorb and secrete. Found in large tubes
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
In larger respiratory tubes
Muscle-Contractile tissue-
Cylindrical cells with evident nuclei
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue
1) Skeletal
2) Cardiac
3) Smooth
Skeletal muscle
Large, striated cells with multiple peripheral nuclei
Cardiac muscle
Small, striated cells with branches and intercalated discs
Smooth muscle
Small, non striated cells with tapering ends
Nervous tissue
Conductive cells and supportive cells
- Neuron-conductive cell with dendrites, nerve cell body and axon
- Neuroglia-Supportive cells of neurons
Epidermis
Stratified squamous epithelium
Hypodermis
Marked by adipose tissue
