Tissue Flashcards
FUNDAMENTAL TYPES OF
TISSUES:
- EPITHELIAL
- CONNECTIVE
- MUSCLE
- NERVOUS
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIAL TISSUES
- LINING/SURFACE EPITHELIUM
- GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
FUNCTIONS OF EPITHELIAL TISSUES:
- Protection
- Secretion
Composition of Lining/Surface Epithelium
Epithelial cells
Extra/intercellular substance
Characteristics of Lining/Surface Epithelium
contiguous cells
basal lamina
avascular
sheet or layers
SUBTYPE OF LINING/SURFACE
EPITHELIUM : Based on the number of layers of cells:
1.Simple
2. Psuedostratified
3. Stratified/Urothelium
4. Transitional
single layer of cells
Simple
– single layer of columnar shaped cells with nucleus at variable location of the cell giving it false stratification or appearance of
several layers of cells; not all apices of cells reach the surface (different heights of columnar cells)
Pseudostratified
SPECIFIC SUBTYPES OF LINING/SURFACE EPITHELIUM :
ACCORDING TO NUMBER OF CELL LAYER + SHAPE OF THE CELL
AND ITS SPECIAL FEATURE LIKE PRESENCE/ABSENCE OF CILIA
OR KERATIN
1a.SIMPLE
a. squamous
b. cuboidal
c. columnar
1) non-ciliated
2) ciliated
1b. PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR
1) non-ciliated
2) ciliated
2a. STRATIFIED
a. squamous
1) keratinized
2) non-keratinized
b. cuboidal
c. columnar
2b. TRANSITIONAL
more than one layer
Stratified
GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM

Characterized by large amounts of extracellular materials that separate cells from one another
Connective Tissue
Components of Extracellular Matrix
