Tissues Flashcards
Tissue for protection, secretion, absorption, excretion:
Lack blood vessels, readily divide; cells are tightly packed.
Epithelial
Tissue that binds, supports, protects, fills spaces, store fat, produces blood cells:
Most have good blood supply; cells are farther apart than epithelial cells.
Connective
Tissue for movement:
Able to contract in response to specific stimuli.
Muscle
Tissue that transmit impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and sensory reception:
Cells communicate with each other and with other body parts.
Nervous
Describe structure/shape of simple squamous epithelium tissue
It is one layer of flattened, thin cells
Describe the structure of simple columnar epithelium tissue
One layer of elongated cells (longer than they are wide)
Describe the structure of simple cuboidal epithelium tissue
One layer of cube like cells. They have a centrally located nuclei
Describe structure and shape of pseudostratified columnar epithelium
It is really just a single layer of cells, but appears to be stratified because of different sizes of the cells and different location of their nuclei
What is transitional epithelium?
Tissue that changes shape and size in response to increased tension
Where do you find simple squamous epithelium?
You find it in the air sacs, covering cavity membranes and lining inside of blood and lymphatic vessels
Where do you find simple columnar epithelium?
Nonciliated simple columnar epithelium lines uterus, most organs of digestive tract.
Where do you find simple cuboidal epithelium?
Covering ovaries, lines most kidney tubules and ducts of certain glands
Where do you find stratified columnar epithelium?
Male urethra and parts of the pahrynx
Where do you find stratified cuboidal epithelium?
Lines larger ducts of mammary glands (brystkirtler), sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas
Where do find stratified squamous epithelium?
Epidermis (outer layer of skin)
Where do you find pseudo stratified columnar epithelium?
Lining passages of respiratory passages
