Tissue Flashcards
study of tissues
histology
study of diseased tissue
histopathology
four types of tissue
epithelial
connective
muscular
nervous
-the type of tissue forms into membrane or gland
epithelial tissues
classified by the outermost cell layer or the number of cell layers
epithelial tissues
flattened cells with a polygonal shape when viewed from above
squamos
mesentry, pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, mesothelium, inner cheek cells
squamos
cells with more or less equal height and width
cuboidal
tubules in the kidney, germinal epithelium of ovary, thyroid follicles
cuboidal
cells with greater height than width
columnar
only one layer
simple
more than one cell layer
stratified
one layer of cells but appears like two or three layers due to different nuclear layers and cell heights
pseudostratified
cell layers vary from two to six
transitional
consist of cell matrix (connective tissues fibers, ground subtances, tissue fluid)
connective tissues
