Lessons 3-4 Flashcards
four primary types of tissue
nervous, muscle, epithelial, connective
epithelial tissue is made of
mostly cells, little matrix
epithelial tissue is found
on the surfaces of the body, line internal surfaces
which type of tissue is capable of regeneration?
epithelial tissue
squamous epithelial cell shape
flattened and thin
cuboidal epithelial cell shape
boxy, square
rectangular epithelial cell shape
rectangle, taller than width
simple epithelial
one layer of cells
stratified epithelial
more than one layer of cells
pseudostratified epithelial
singular layer of irregularly shaped cells
simple squamous epithelium structure
look like thin scales with elliptical nuclei
simple squamous epithelium function
allow the rapid passage of chemicals
simple squamous epithelium example
on the alveoli of the lungs
stratified squamous epithelium structure
layered scale-like cells
stratified squamous epithelial function
helps with diffusion and filtration
stratified squamous epithelial example
skin
simple cuboidal epithelium structure
box-like with round nuclei
simple cuboidal epithelium function
assist with secretion and absorption
simple cuboidal epithelium example
lining of kidney tubules
stratified cuboidal epithelium structure
stacked box-like cells
stratified cuboidal epithelium function
protection
stratified cuboidal epithelium example
sweat glands
simple columnar epithelium structure
tall, column-like with elongated nuceli
simple columnar epithelium function
absorption and secretion
simple columnar epithelium example
bronchi
stratified columnar epithelium structure
stacked column-like cells
stratified columnar epithelium function
secretes and protects
stratified columnar epithelium example
ducts of gland
pseudostratified epithelium structure
irregularly shaped cells
pseudostratified epithelium function
secretes and moves mucus
pseudostratified epithelium example
lines the trachea
keratinized tissue
dead epithelial tissue that acts as extra protection
connective tissue is made of
mostly matrix with a few cells
function of connective tissue
support and connect tissues and orgns
three characteristics of connective tissue
specialized cells, lots of ground substance, and extracellular protein fibers
loose connective tissue is found
between organs
loose connective tissue function
absorb shock and bind tissues
areolar tissue structure
web-like
areolar tissue is found
between muscle fibers, surrounding blood vessels, and supporting abdominal organs
adipose tissue consists mostly of
fat storage cells
adipose tissue allows for
rapid storage and mobilization of lipids, insulation
adipose tissue is found
around the kidneys, cushioning the eye
reticular tissue structure
mesh-like framework
reticular cells produce
reticular fibers for other cells to attach to
reticular tissue is found around
the spleen and liver
compared to proper connective tissue, dense connective tissue contains more ___, allowing for__
collagen fibers, stretching
dense regular connective tissue structure
fibers run parallel to each other
dense regular connective tissue structure allows for
strength and resistance to stretching
some dense regular tissue includes___, allowing
elastin fibers, ligament to return to normal length
dense regular tissue is found in
ligaments and muscle tendons
dense irregular connective tissue structure
fiber direction is random
dense irregular connective tissue structure allows for
greater strength in all directions but less in one particular direction
dense irregular tissue is found in
dermis of the skin and arterial walls
