Q

What is epithelium tissue?

A

Covering of the human body

Ex: skin, lining of mouth and digestive system

Interfaces- way down in lungs between blood

Where glands come from

Used to describe by number of layers and shape

Q

What are the different layers of epithelium tissue and what are they?

A

1) simple- single layer of cells
2) stratified- multiple layers of cells
3) pseudostratified- single layer of cells but looks like many layers

Q

What are the different shapes of epithelium tissue?

A

1) squamous- wide cell but not tall (rectangle)
2) cuboidal- height and width are the same (square)
3) Columnar- height of cells is greater than width (rectangle standing up)

Q

What are the 2 types of CT Proper?

2) dense CT proper- virtually no water

Q

What are 2 of supporting CT and explain

Q

What are 2 types of fluid CT and explain

A

2) lymph- matrix is fluid, lymphatic system carried this,
Mostly white blood cells and liquid

16
Q

What is skeletal muscle?

A

Attached skeleton

Gives conscious movement

Cells are really large

Longated and cylinder

Many nuclei

17
Q

What is cardiac muscle?

A

Found in heart

A lot of branching tissue

Have intercalated discs

One intercalated discs activated then all are activated and are electrical

18
Q

What are intercalated discs?

A

Dark bands

All work together and form electrical current

20
Q

What is smooth muscle tissue?

A

Found in walls of varied organs

In digestive organs, walls of blood vessels, walls of tiny tube like structures in lungs

No striation

21
Q

Are skeletal muscles and cardiac muscle tissues striated bare striations?

A

Yes

22
Q

What are 2 types of nerve tissue and explain

A

1) neurons- rare, transmit nerve impulses

2) glial cells or neuroglia- perform supportive functions (more common)

23
Q

What does striation mean?

A

Thin little lines in cell
