Tissues Flashcards
Simple epithelial cell arrangement
One layer
Stratified Epithelial cell arrangement
Many layers
Cuboidal epithelial cell
Cube shape
Squamous epithelial cell
flat shape
Columnal epithelial cell
Tall shape
Loose connective tissues
Adipose and areolar
Adipose
fatty tissue
Areolar
under skin (subcutaneous layer)
Regular dense tissue
fibers are same direction and shape
Dense tissues
Regular, irregular, elastic
Irregular dense tissue
Fibers are different direction and shape
Elastic dense tissue
Fibers can stretch and recoil with ease (lungs)
Cartilage types
hyline, fibrocartilage, elastic
Hyaline cartilage
lines joints and ends of bones
Fibrocartilage
Least flexible, found in kneecaps and pubic region
Elastic cartilage
Flexible, found in outer ear and epiglotis
Bone types
Spongy and compact
Types of connective tissues
Loose, dense, cartilage, bone, blood
Plasma cell
Found in connective tissues, make antibodies
Fibroblast cell
Found in connective tissues, ground substances and fibers
ground substances
part of the matrix, a gel like substance that fills space between cells and fibers
Microphage
Defends against foreign particles
Mast cells
Cause inflammation
Ectoderm
outside layer of embryonic cell
