TISSUES Flashcards
What are the basic unit of tissue?
Group of cells
What are the 4 types of tissues?
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
It is the study of tissues
Histology
It is the tissue where cells fit closely together and often form sheets the apical surface is the free surface of the tissue.
Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue regenerate easily if well-nourished. True or False?
True
This tissue protects the underlying tissue, act as barrier, permit passage of substances, secretes substances and absorb substances.
Epithelial tissue
What are the major types of epithelium based on layers of cells
Simple
Stratified
Pseudostratified
Transitional
It is a type of epithelium which has one layer of cells.
Simple
It is a type of epithelium which has more than one layer.
Stratified
It is a special type of simple epithelium which tissue appears to be stratified, but all cells contact basement membrane.
Pseudostratified
It is a special type of stratified epithelium.
Transitional
Based on the shape of cells, flattened means?
Squamous
What do you call to a cube shape of cells?
Cuboidal
It is a column like shape of cells.
Columnar
Is a single layer of flat cells,
Simple squamous
It is a single layer of cube like cells
Simple cuboidal
It is a single layer of tall cells often includes mucus producing goblet cells
Simple columnar
Single layer but some cells are shorter than others often looks like a double layer of cells but all cells rest on the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified columnar
Cells of the apical surface are flattened and functions as a protective covering where friction is common.
Stratified squamous
It is a multiple layers of cuboidal cells; functions in protection
Stratified cuboidal
Surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape; functions in protection
Stratified columnar
It is a kind of stratified epithelia which is rare in human body, found mainly in ducts of large glands
Stratified cuboidal and columnar
It is composed of modified stratified squamous epithelium.
Transitional epithelium
One or more cells responsible for separating a particular product.
Gland
What are the two major gland types?
Endocrine gland
Exocrine gland
What are the two types of exocrine gland?
Simple exocrine glands
Compound exocrine glands
It is a type of gland which is ductless since aggressions diffuse into blood vessels; all secretions are hormones.
Endocrine gland
