tissue Flashcards
- Contains organelle that enables them to perform
complex functions
Simple columnar
meaning of pseudo
false
resemble the limbs of pine trees, with proteins forming the branches and the polysaccharides forming the pine needles
Proteoglycans
Muscle cells are sometimes called ______
muscle fibers
free surface - can be smooth or lined
- Smooth - reduce friction as materials moves across it
- Lined - with microvilli (absorption or secretion) or cilia (propel materials along the free surface)
- secretes mucus, which covers its free surface
- Cilia on the free surface moves mucus and the debris that accumulates in it
Pseudostratified columnar
- mucus secretion
- Found in simple columnar and pseudostratified
Goblet cell
less collagen fiber, more ground
loose
unicellular because they secrete mucus onto epithelial surfaces
columnar single goblet cell
large wbc that are capable of ingesting foreign substances
Macrophages
-prevents abrasion between organs in pericardial, pleural and peritoneal cavities
-outer surfaces of organs are covered with simple squamous epithelium that secretes slippery fluid, that lubricates the surfaces between the organs, preventing damage from friction when organs rub against one another or the body wall
simple squamous
Can be found in the area where abrasion can occur (skin, anal canal and vagina
Stratified squamous
more collage fiber, less ground
substance dense
shapeless background against which cells and collagen fibers can be seen
Ground substance
