Similar cells and extracellular matrix
Tissues
Study of tissues
Histology
Four types of tissues
Epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Give at least three characteristics of epithelial tissues
Found throughout the body cover surfaces abundant number of cells scanty intercellular substances attached to basement membrane avascular
Surface that is not attached to other cells
Free or apical surface
Surface that is attached to other cells
Lateral surface
Surface that is attached to the basement membrane
Basal surface
Give at least three functions of epithelial tissues
Protection protection barrier permitting the passage of substance secreting substances absorbing substances
Classification of epithelial tissue (number of cell layers)
Simple
stratified
pseudostratified
transitional
Classification of epithelial tissues (shape of the cell)
Squamous
cuboidal
columnar
Types of simple epithelium
Simple squamous
simple cuboidal
simple columnar
pseudostratified columnar
Single layer flat cells
responsible for:
the fusion and filtration
prevention of a board abrasion between organs
secretion and absorption
Simple squamous epithelium
Give at least three examples of simple squamous epithelium (location)
Linings of blood and emphatic vessels heart and Alveoli serous membrane filtration membranes of kidneys Air sacs of the lungs walls of capillaries
Single layer of cube like or tall as wide cell resting on the basement membrane
has microvilli or cillia
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Where does simple cuboidal epithelium usually found
Kidney tubules
glands and their ducs
surface of the ovaries
Made up of single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide
Has microvilli and Cillia
Simple columnar epithelium
This type of epithelium lines entirely the length of the digestive track from the stomach to the anus
Simple columnar epithelium
Type of simple epithelial tissue that has goblet cells
Simple columnar epithelium
Or pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Type of simple epithelial tissue that appears to be stratified but is actually a single layer of cells, all of which touch the basement membrane although not all reach the pics
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Where does pseudostratified columnar epithelium usually found
Nasal cavity
nasal sinuses
auditory tube’s
respiratory tract
Multiple layers of cells
its basal layer is cuboidal and its surface is flattened squamous cell
Stratified squamous epithelium
Types of stratified squamous epithelium
Keratinized and non keratinized
Which of the types of stratified squamous epithelium is moist
Non keratinized
Two rare types of epithelial
usually found in the ducts of large glands
Stratified cuboidal stratified columnar
A highly modified stratified type of epithelium who sells change in shape depending on whether the organ is distended or contracted
Transitional epithelium
What type of cell is present when transitional epithelium is stretched?
If not stretched?
Squamous cells
Cuboidal cells
