Tissues Flashcards
Lines and Covers the air sacs, the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, lining of the ventral body cavity
filtration and diffusion
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Lines the kidney tubules and collecting ducts; the ducts and secretory orations of many glands; and the surface of the ovary
absorption and secretion
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Lines the digestive tract from the stomach to the anus; the gallbladder; portions of the uterus and uterine tubes; lines small bronchi the uterine tubes, and portions of the uterus
absorption and secretion
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Lines speed carrying ducts, trachea, and most of the upper respiratory tract
secretion
Pseudostratified Columar Epithelium
Lines the esophagus, mouth, vagina, and anus; forms the epidermis of the skin
protection
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Lines the large ducts of some glands, and some portions of the male urethra
protect and secretion
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Forms the lining of the urinary bladder, ureter, and the superior portion of the urethra
distention/ expansion/ stretching
Transitional Epithelium
Throughout the body binding adjacent structures
wraps and cushions
elastic and collagen fibers
fibroblasts cell
Areolar Connective Tissue
throughout the body, the hypodermics of the skin; surround the kidneys, eyeballs, and mammary glands
protection
adipocytes
Adipose Tissue
Forms the internal framework of many lymphoid organs: spleens, lymph nodes, bone marrow
scaffolding
reticular fibers
reticular cells

withstands stress
collagen fibers
fibroblast cells
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
attachment and withstands stress
collagen fibers
fibroblasts
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
found within the body wall of arteries; throughout the trachea and bronchial tree
flexibility
