tissue types and function Flashcards
1
Q
- Allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important
- Located in the lining of the heart, blood and lymphatic vessels
A
simple squamous epithelial
2
Q
- Secretion and absorption
- Kidney tubules, ducts, and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface
A
simple cuboidal epithelial
3
Q
- Absorption; Secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type of propels mucus ( or reproductive cells) by ciliary action
- Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus, colon
A
simple columnal epithelial
4
Q
- Secretes substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
- Noncilliated in male’s sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea
A
pseudostratified columnar epithelial
5
Q
- Thick membrane with several cell layers. Protects underlying tissues from abrasion and damage.
- Nonkeratinized form = moist linings of esophagus, mouth, and vagine
- Keratinized forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.
A
stratified squamous epithelial
6
Q
- Protection
- Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands and salivary glands, kidney
A
stratified cuboidal epithelial
7
Q
- Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine
- Lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra
A
transitional
8
Q
- Protection and secretion
- Rare throughout the body, small amounts in the male urethra and in large ducts of some glands
A
stratified columnar
9
Q
- loose connective
- Provides reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs
A
Adipose
10
Q
- loose connective
- Wraps and cushions organs. Its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays an important role in inflammation
A
areolar
11
Q
- loose connective
- Fibers form a soft internal environment that supports other cell types
A
reticular
12
Q
- dense connective
- Attaches muscles to bones, or to muscles, or bones to bones
- withstands great tensile stress when the pulling force is applied in one direction
- Located in the tendons,
A
dense regular
13
Q
- dense connective
- withstand great tensile stress that is exerted in many different directions
- some structural strength
- Found in the dermis of the skin,
A
dense irregular
14
Q
- dense connective
- Allows recoil of tissue and stretching; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries
- Found in walls of large arteries
A
elastic
15
Q
supports and protects ( by enclosing); provides levers for th muscles to act on
A
bone
