Tissue Flashcards
What are the 4 types of tissue?
Connective, epithelial, muscle, nervous.
Where does epithelial tissue cover?
Internal and external body surfaces.
What 3 things make up tissue?
Cells, intercellular material, fluid.
What is a simple squamous?
Epithelial - one thin layer of flat cells.
Where are simple squamous cells found?
In areas where diffusion occurs (blood vessels, alveoli and bowman’s capsule).
What are simple cuboidal cells?
Epithelial - one layer of cubed cells.
Where are simple cuboidal cells found?
Glands, kidney tubules.
What are simple columnar cells?
Epithelial - one layer of rectangle cells.
Where are simple columnar cells found?
Stomach and intestines.
What is stratified squamous?
Epithelial - layers of cells (two or more). It is tough and protective.
Where are stratified squamous found?
Areas with lots of friction - oesophagus, mouth, vagina.
What does stratified squamous do?
Put keratin (tough protein) into the cells (seen in epidermis of skin)
What is transitional epithelium?
Layer of thick cells with the ability to stretch.
Where would you find transitional epithelium cells?
Bladder.
What tissue are glands made up of?
Epithelial tissue
Are glands unicellular or multi cellular?
Both simple (uni) and compound (multi).
What are the 3 different shapes of glands?
Tubular, coiled and saccular.
Where are simple tubular cells found?
Small intestine.
Where are simple branched tubular glands found?
Stomach.
What are simple alveolar glands?
Sebaceous.
Where do you find simple alveolar glands?
Tail and anal glands.
What are simple coiled glands?
Sweat glands.
What is a compound alveolar gland?
Salivary gland.
What is a compound tubular glandand where is it found?
Duodenal gland in small intestine.
