Tissue Flashcards
Tissue
Location
Function
simple squamous epithilum
kidney cortex w/ glomeruli
alveoli blood vessels
allows materials to pass via diffusion and filtration
secretes serous fluid
Tissue
Location
Function
simple cuboidal epithelium
kidney tubules, ovary surface, ducts and secretory units of small glands
secretion and absorbtion
Tissue
Location
Function
Simple columnar epithelium
gallbladder, most of the digestive tract from stomach to rectum,exretory ducts, cilliated version lines small bronchi (upper resp), uterine tubes, uterus
secretion of mucus and enzymes
absorbtion; ciliated move mucus
Tissue
Location
Function
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
ciliated in lines trachea & most of upper respiratory system
non-ciliated lines male sperm-carrying ducts, and ducts of large glands.
secrete substances (esp. mucus), propels mucus by ciliary action
Tissue
Location
Function
Stratified squamous epithelium
Esophogus, mouth and vagina
Skin (dry membrane)
protects deeper tissue
Tissue
Location
Function
Transitional epithelium
lines the ureters, bladder, and urethra, uterus
found btw epithelial types
stretches
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, areolar
mesentary, surrounds capillaries, under epithelium
Wraps and cusions organs, phagocytes play role in inflammation, holds and conveys tissue fluid
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, areolar
subcutaneous tissue, around kidneys and eyeballs, abdomen, breast
insulates, protects, stores fat
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: loose connective tissue, reticular
Lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen)
Fibers form a stroma that supports other cell types (WBC, mast cells, macrophages)
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense regular
tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
attaches muscle to bone,
bone to bone,
withstands great force
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, dense irregular
fibrous capsules of organs, dermis, sub-mucosa of GI tract
withstands tension from many directions, great tensile strength when pulling force is from 1 direction
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue proper: dense connective tissue, elastic
walls of large arteries, within ligaments of vertebral column, walls of bronchial tubes
allows tissue to recoil after stretching, aids passive recoil of lungs after inspiration, maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries.
Tissue
Location
Function
Cartilage: hyaline
forms embryonic skeleton, ends of long bones, costal cartilage, nose, trachea, larynx
supports and reinforces, cushions, resists compression
Tissue
Location
Function
Cartilage Elastic
external ear (pinna), epiglottis
maintains shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
Tissue
Location
Function
Cartilage: fibrocartilage
intervetebral discs, pubic symphisis, discs of knee joint
tensile strength allows it to absorb compressive shock
firm connections with little mvt; compression*
Tissue
Location
Function
Others: bone (osseous tissue)
compact bone
supports and protects, serves as levers, stores Ca2+ and other materials
Tissue
Location
Function
Connective tissue: blood
contained within blood vessels
transport respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances
Tissue
Location
Function
Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle
voluntary movement
Tissue
Location
Function
Cardiac muscle
Walls of heart (myocardium)
contracts to repel blood; involuntary
Tissue
Location
Function
Smooth muscle
Walls of hollow organs
propels substances; involuntary
Tissue
Location
Function
Nervous tissue
brain, splinal cord, nerves
transmit electrical impulses from sensory receptors to effectors
Tissue
Location
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
ducts of larger glands (sweat glands, mammary glands)
Tissue
Location
Stratified Columnar Epithelia
pharynx, male urethra, lining glandular ducts
occurs at transition areas or junctions btw 2 other types of epithelia
