owao Flashcards
made from specialized cells that were made
during development and intended to group together
to perform specific functions
Tissue
science that deals with the study of tissues
Relating knowledge of different tissues can brought
understanding of underlying changes in the body
such development, growth and even disease
existence
Histology
is a physician who examines tissues for changes
that may indicate damage or disease
Pathologist
is a physician who examines tissues for changes
that may indicate damage or disease
Pathologist
THREE LAYERS OF CELLS
Ectoderm-outer layer
Mesoderm- middle layer
Endoderm- inner layer
while cells continue to divide, they also form distinct
properties through this process
Differentiation
covers body surfaces, forms glands, and lines body
cavities, hollow organs, and ducts and perform several
functions such as:
Epithelial Tissue
- It protects underlying structures.
- It acts as a barrier.
- It permits passage of substances.
- It secretes.
- It absorbs
Cell shape
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Transitional
Thin and flat cells that allow diffusion and
filtration
Squamous
Cube-shaped cells that may have
microvilli at their apical surface for
secretion or absorption
Cuboidal
Tall and thin cells that may have
microvilli or cilia at their apical surface for
secretion and absorption
Columnar
Change shape from flat to cuboidal and
back. These cells are found in organs
that can stretch like the urinary bladder
Transitional
Cell Layers
Simple
Pseudostratified
Stratified
has only one layer of cells and
primary function is to move materials
Simple
has a single layer but appears to
have many due to cells’ nuclei are
placed at many levels
Pseudostratified
has multiple layer of cells and
intended for protection
Stratified
Types of Epithelial Tissue
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Transitional Epithelium
Single layer of cube-shaped cells, some cells have
microvilli or cilia
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Single layer of cube-shaped cells, some cells have
microvilli or cilia
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Diffusion, filtration, some secretion, and some
protection against friction
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Lining of blood vessels and the heart, lymphatic
vessels, alveoli of the lungs, portions of the kidney
tubules, lining of serous membranes of the body
cavities
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Single layer of cube-shaped cells, some cells have
microvilli or cilia
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Secretion and absorption by cells of the kidney
tubules; secretion by cells of glands and choroid
plexuses; movement of particles embedded in
mucus out of the termina bronchioles by ciliated
cells
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Kidney tubules, glands and ducts, choroid plexuses
of the brain, lining of terminal bronchioles of the
lungs, and surfaces of the ovaries
