Tissues Flashcards
4 types of tissue
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
Simple Epithelium
one layer of epithelial tissue
Type of simple Epithelium tissue
- simple squamous
- simple cuboidal
- simple columnar
- ciliated columnar
simple squamous
one layer of flattened cells
simple cuboidal
one layer of cube shaped cells
ciliated simple columnar
single layer of ciliated cylinder-shaped cells
simple squamous epithelial location
alveoli (air sacs in lungs)
simple squamous epithelial function
thinnest possible barrier to allow for rapid diffusion and filtration
simple cuboidal epithelial location
lining of the kidney
simple cuboidal epithelial function
forms secretory tissue of most glands and small glands
nonciliated simple columnar epithelial
single layer of cylinder-shaped cells
simple ciliated columnar epithelial function
secretion of mucin and movement of mucous along apical surface of epithelial by cilia
simple ciliated columnar epithelial location
lining of the larger bronchioles of the respiratory tract and uterine tubes
nonciliated columnar epithelial function
secretion of mucin
nonciliated columnar epithelial location
lining of most digestive tracts
