Test 3 Part 2 Flashcards
Certain cells have certain functions for good of the organism
Division of labor
Groups of cells with similar structure and functions
Tissues
Covering (in or outside)
Epithelial
Support (bones)
Connective
Movement
Muscle
Control
Nervous
Various tissues working together for a common function
Organs
-Lining, covering and glandular tissue
—Functions:’protection, absorption, filtration, secretions (useful substances)
Epithelial Tissue (epithelium)
Characteristics:
- cells fit closely together
- membranes have more free surface ledge which is exposed to body’s exterior or the cavity of an internal organ
- lower substance rests on basement membrane
- no blood supply of their won (avascular=no blood vessel)
- depend on diffusion
- high rate of motors is
Epithelial Tissue
What are the types of epithelium tissue?
Simple and stratified
One layer of cells
Simple
More than one layer of cells
Stratified
- mostly with absorption
- secretions and filtration, very thin
Simple epithelium
- in air sacs of lungs
- lines central body cavities
- covers organs
Simple squamous (scaly)
- glands and their ducts
- walls of the kidney tubules
- surface of ovaries
Simple cuboidal
- lining of the digestive tract
- stomach to anus
Simple columnar
Which secrete mucus are found in this type of epithelium
Goblet cells
- not all cells are of uniform height
- involved in secretion and absorption
Pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium
-lines the respiratory tract – cilia move debris upward
Pseudo-stratified ciliates columnar
- 2 or more cell layers, more durable, involved in protection
Stratified epithelium
- -several layer thick
- -mouth, esophagus, skin
Stratified squamous
