Q

Epithelial tissue layers (3)

A
  1. simple = single layer
  2. stratified = 2 or more
  3. pseudostratified = looks like more than 1 but is actually all connected to basal layer

Q

Epithelial tissue cell shapes (4)

A
  1. squamous = flat and tile
  2. cuboidal = cube and hexagon
  3. columnar = rectangle, taller than wide
  4. transitional = shape changing, starts as cuboidal, becomes squamous as it stretches.

Q

Areolar connective tissue

A

Made up of fibers (elastic, collagen and reticular) with other cells (fibroblasts, macrophages, plasma, adipocytes, mast and white blood) in ground substance.
Functions as strength, elasticity and support. Found in and around every structure.

17
Q

Cartlidge structure

A

Chondrocytes in spaces called lacunae surrounded by extracellular matrix.

18

A
  1. Hyaline
  2. Fibrous
  3. Elastic
20
Q

Hyaline cartilage

A

Structured as many fine collagen fibers and chondrocytes surrounded by pericardium (dense irregular connective tissue).
Functions as flexibility, support and friction reduction.
Found as a covering in ends of long bones.

21
Q

Fibrous cartilage

A

Structured as chondrocytes among thick bundles of collagen fibers with no perichondrium.
Functions to support and join structures with strength.
Found in intervertebral discs.

22
Q

Elastic cartilage

A

Structured as chondrocytes threaded with elastic fibers, perichondrium present.
Functions as strength and elasticity, allows structures to return to original state.
Found in external ear.

23
Q

Cartilage cell

A

Chondrocytes = mature cartilage cells.

24
Q

Cartilage fibers (2)

A

Collagen = tensile strength.
Elastic = strength and ability to return to original state.

25

A
  1. Smooth
  2. Skeletal
  3. Cardiac
26
Q

Smooth muscle

A

Functions as motion.
Structured as fibers arranged irregularly - non striated.
Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, thickest in the middle and tapering at ends.
Found in airway lining.

27
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

Functions as motion, heat production and protection.
Structured as a regular striated arrangement.
