Tissue Flashcards
4 types of tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Epithelial tissue
covers external surfaces, linings of cavities and passageways leading to the exterior
Roles of epithelial
Barrier > hostile agents
Prevents > dehydration & fluid loss
Glandular role > mucous/ hormones
How many layer of simple epithelial tissue are there?
1
How many layer of stratified epithelial tissue are there?
multiple layers
Types of epithelial tissue
A. Simple
B. Compound
C. Basement membrane (baseplate)
Sub types of simple epithelium
Squamous (pavement)
Cuboidal (cubical)
Columnar
Ciliated
Where to find squamous epithelium?
linings of blood vessels, heart, alveoli and lymphatic vessels
Sub types of compound epithelium?
Stratified
Transitional
Where to find straified epithelium?
epidermis of skin, lining of mouth, pharynx, esophagus & conjunctiva
Where to find transitional epithelium?
linings of bladder
Connective Tissue
blinds tgt and supports tissues and organs
Types of Connective tissue
Areolar Adipose White fibrous Yellow elastic Lymphoid Cartilage Blood Bone
Loose tissue between organs
Areolar
Tissue that blinds structures tgt
Fibrous tissue
Hyalin, fibro-cartilage
Cartilage
Plasma & blood cells
Blood
The hardest form of connective tissue
Bone (compact or spongy)
Functions of connective tissue
Protective
Fibroblasts
Produce extracellular matrix
-synthesize & secrete protein, wound repair, bone repair
