Tissue Concept And Classification Flashcards
Are aggregates or groups of cell organized to perform one or more specific function
Tissues
Classification of tissues
Epithelial tissue
connective tissue
muscular tissue
nervous tissue
Covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and forms glands
Epithelium (epithelial tissue)
Supports the three basic tissues structurally and functionally
Connective tissue
Made up of contractile cells and is responsible for movement
Muscle tissues
Receives transmits and integrates information from outside and inside the body to control its activities
Nerve tissues
Epithelium shape cells
Cuboidal
stratified
Classification of epithelia
Simple
stratified
squamous- wider than tall
cuboidal- as tall as wide
columnar- taller than wide
Function of simple squamous epithelium
Passive transport of gases and fluids
Location of simple aquamus epithelium
Alveoli of lungs
lining body cavities
lining blood vessels
Function Simple cuboidal epithelia
Secretion and absorption
Location of simple cuboidal epithelia
Kidney tubules ducts and secretary portions of small glands ovary surface
Function of simple columnar epithelia
Absorption
secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances
Location of simple columnar epithelia
Digestive tract
gallbladder
Function of stratified squamous epithelia
Protection
Location of stratified squamous epithelia
Oral cavity
cervix
anal canal
Function of stratified cuboidal epithelia
Protection
Location of stratified cuboidal epithelia
Large ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands
Stratified columnar epithelia
Protection and secretion
Location of stratified columnar epithelia
Small amount in the male urethra (mostly seen in conjunctiva, lobar ducts, anus, pharynx)
Function Pseudo stratified columnar epithelia
Secretion of mucus, propulsion of mucus
Loc pseudo stratified columnar epithelia
Lines of trachea
Characterized on the basis of its extracellular matrix
Connective tx
This is wbere the most epithelia rest on
-loosely arranged collagen fibers & numerous cells
Loose CT
Densely arranged collagen fibers for strength
Dense CT
