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
Cavities that do not open to the external, closed ventral body cavities.
Serous membrane
skin
cutaneous membrane
skeleton movement
striated muscle
expands and contracts - intestines, blood vessels
smooth muscle
forms walls of heart, enables heart to pump blood
cardiac muscle
