Tissue Types Flashcards
conduct impulses
nervous
contractile
muscle
covering body parts
epithelial
connects, supports, protects, insulates, and transports
connective
secures cells to underlying connective tissue
basement membrane
- Single layer, flattened
- Difussion and filtration
simple squamous
- Single layer, cube shaped
- Secretion and absorption
simple cuboidal
- Tall slender, elongated cells
- Absorption, secretion of mucus, if ciliated propels mucus
simple columnar
- Single layer of cells that looks like several layers, may contain goblet cells and cilia
- Secretion, ciliated propels mucus
pseudostratified columnar
-Protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
Stratified Squamous
Many layers of living cells
nonkeratinized
Flatten, dead, dry cells
keratinized
- Two layers of cube like cells
- Protection
Stratified Cuboidal
Flexible cells that stretch and regain strength
transitional
line body cavities open to outside, contain mucous producing
Mucous membrane
