structural organisation in animals Flashcards
4 types of tissue
connective
epithelial
muscular
connective
faces the environment
provides a lining or covering for some part of the body
simple epithelium
lining for body cavities, ducts and tubes
compound epithelium
multilayered, for protective functions as in our skin
squamous epithelium
flattened with irregular boundaries
functions of se
wallasof blood vessels and air sacs and form diffusuion boundaries
cuboidal epithelium
ducts of glands and tubular part of nephron
functions of ce
secretion and absorption
pct epithelium contains
microvilli
columnar epithelium
lining of stomache and help in secretion and absorption
ciliated epithelium
to move particles in a particular direction
where are ciliated epithelium found
hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubes
unicellular glandular epithelium
goblet cells
multicellular glandular epithelium
salivary glands
exocrine glands
with ducts secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, mil
endocrine
ductless secrete hormones
compound epithelium
multilayerd and help in protection against chemical and mechanical stresses
connective tissue secretes which fibres
all except blood secrete collagen or elastin
functions of collagen and elastin
strenght
flexibility and elasticity
matrix between cells and fibres
modified polysaccharides
loose connective tissue eg
areolar tissue and adipose tissue
function of areolar tissue
secretes fibroblasts, mast cells and macrophages.
serves as a support framework
function of areolar tissue
secretes fibroblasts, mast cells and macrophages.
serves as a support framework
adipose tissue
store fat and excess of nutrients present under the skin
tendons
dense regular tissue
