Tissues Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Covering, lining and protecting tissues
Connective tissue
Supporting tissues
Muscle tissue
Contractile tissue
Nervous tissue (neuron)
Consists of neutrons and neurolglia, neutrons consists of dendrites, a cell body, and Axon to send impulses
Located in nervous system, central nervous system, brain, spine and peripheral nervous system
Nervous tissue
Conductive tissue
Simple squamous epithelium
- 1 layer flat cells with large nucleus in the center
- located in blood capillaries
- for diffusion
Simple cuboidal epithelium
- 1 layer of box shaped cells with nucleus in the center
- located in glands, kidney tubules, & ovaries
- Functions for secretion and absortion
Simple columnar epithelium
1 layer of column cells with nucleus in a row
•may contain goblet cells
•located in lining of digestive system and respiratory
•functions for protection, secretion, and absorption
Stratified squamous epithelium
Several layers of cells start as cuboidal cells & become flat
•located in epidermis, lining of the mouth, esophagus, rectum, anus, vagina
•functions for protection
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
1 layer of column shaped cells with nuclei at many levels always contain goblet cells and cilia
Located at nasal cavity lining
For protection and secretion
Transitional epithelium
Many layers of cuboidal cells
Called transitional epithelium because cells undergo a transition in shape and become flat as urine bladder fills with urine
Located in bladder
Permits distention and recoil
Bone
Compact bone tissue consist of osteons that contain lamallae lacunae osteocytes canaliculi and central canals
Located in Various bones in body
For structure, support, protection ,blood production in marrow, fat and mineral storage
Adipose tissue
Made of adipocytes specialist to stored triglycerides and a large country located vacuole, nucleus on the side
Located: subcutaneous layer medullary cavities in many bones
For heat regulation, protection, insulation
Loose connective tissue you or areolar connective tissue
Composed of loosely packed collagen and elastin fibers, contains fibroblasts
Located; subcutaneous layer, between muscles, around blood vessels, nerves and joints
Function;Packing tissue, fill space
Fibrous connective tissue
Regularly pattern collagen fibers with fibroblasts, scattered throughout, no direct blood supply, heals slowly
Located in tendons ligaments and sclera (whites of eye)
For:Structure support protection
