what are the four types of tissue which are found in all vertebrate animals?
connective, muscle, epithelial, and nervous
a single layer of flattened, irregularly-shaped cells connected to a basement membrane
thin, flat
simple squamous epithelium
a single layer of column-shaped cells laying on the basement membrane
simple columnar epithelium
a single layer of column-shaped cells laying on a basement membranes
- appear to be two cell layers since the nuclei of the various cells may be close to the basement membrane or far away from the basement membrane - may have cilia and/or goblet cells
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
has layers or strata of simple squamous cells, with only the bottom layer of cells laying on the basement membrane. Example is the epidermis of the skin
stratified squamous epithelium
Three components that are found in all connective tissue
ground substances (noncellular) protein fibers (collagen, reticular, or elastic) specialized cells (fibroblasts and stem cells which produce new cells
three types of connective tissue in vertebrates
fibrous
supportive
fluid
three types of muscular tissue in vertebrates
skeletal
smooth
cardiac
voluntary so we control its movement; attached to our bone
skeletal
involuntary so we don’t control its contractions; lines our digestive tract
smooth
involuntary so we don’t control its contractions; found in the heart
cardiac
can be loose, dense, or adipose
fibrous
can be cartilage or bone
supportive
can be blood or lymph
fluid
the microscopic study of tissue
histology
