Tissues Flashcards
Are group of cells similar in structure arranged in characteristic pattern and specialized for the performance of specific task
Tissues
The study of tissues
Histology
What are the four primary types of tissues
Epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Tissue cover surfaces lines cavities and forms glands
Epithelial
Supports and forms the framework of all parts of the body
Connective
Contracts and produces movement
Muscle
Conducts nerve impulses
Nervous
What are the functions of the epithelial tissues
Protection
absorption
filtration
secretion
Where does epithelial tissues found
Body coverings
body linings
glandular tissue
Characteristics of epithelial tissue
-Cells fit closely together
-tissue layer always has one free surface
- the lower surface is bound by a basement membrane
- avascular (have no blood supply) -regenerate easily if well nourished
What layer is simple epithelium
One layer
What layer is stratified epithelium
More than one layer
What shape is the squamous epithelium
Flattened
What shape is the Cubodial epithelium
Cube shape
What shape is the columnar epithelium
Column-like
Simple squamous
Simple epithelium
Single layer of flat cells
Simple epithelium
Usually for membranes
- lines body cavities
lines lungs and capillaries
Simple epithelium
Single layer of cube like cells
Simple cubodial
Common in glands and their ducts
Simple Cuboidal
Form walls of kidney tubules
Simple cuboidal
Covers the ovaries
Simple cuboidal
Single layer of tall cells
Simple Columnar
Often includes goblet cells, which produce mucus
Simple columnar
Lines Digestive tract
Simple columnar
Single layer but some cells are short and than others
Pseudostratified
Often looks like a double Cell layer
Pseudostratified
Sometimes ciliated such as in the respiratory tract
Pseudostratified
May function in absorption or secretion
Pseudostratified
Stratified squamous
Stratified epithelium
Cells as the free edge or flattened
Stratified epithelium
Found us a protective covering where friction is common
Stratified epithelium
Where does the location of the stratified epithelium
Skins
mouth
esophagus
Two layers of cuboidal cells
Stratified cuboidal
Surface Cells are columnar cells underneath vary in size and shape
Stratified columnar
Rare in the human body
Stratified cuboidal and columnar
Found mainly in ducts large glands
Stratified cuboidal and columnar
Shape of cells depends upon the amount of stretching
Transitional epithelium
