Tissues Flashcards
Function of epithelial tissue
Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion
Function of Connective tissue
Bind, support, protect, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells
Function ofMuscle tissue
Movement
Function of Nervous tissue
Conduct impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and sensory reception
Location of Epithelial tissue
Cover body surface, cover and line internal organs, compose glands
Location of Connective tissue
Widely distributed throughout body
Location of Muscle Tissue
Attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, heart
Location of Nervous tissue
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
How are epithelial cells classified?
By shapes and layers
what are the possible shapes for epithelial tissues?
squamous, cuboidal, columnar
What are the two classifying layers of epithelial?
simple(1 layer)
stratified(more than 1 layer)
what is simple squamous epithelium?
single layer of thin, flattened cells
- suited for diffusion
function of simple squamous epithelium
exchange of gasses in the alveoli of the lungs and lines blood and lamp vessels as well as body cavities
Simple is simple cuboidal epithelium?
single layer of cube shaped cells with centrally located nuclei
Function of simple cuboidal epithelium
functions in secretion and absorption in the kidneys, secretion in glands, and covers the ovaries
