Tuesday 9/26 Tissues Flashcards
Simple squamous
Single layer of the egg shaped epithelial cells
Found lining blood vessels also in walls of alveoli (microscopic air sacs of lungs) also found cover many internal organs
Simple cuboidal
Single layer of cube shaped epithelial cells
Found in walls of the kidney tubules( microscopic tubes that filter blood through urine)
Simple columnar
Single layer of column shaped Epi cells
Lines the stomach, the intestines, and the fallopian tubes
Stratified squamous
Multi layer of egg shaped epi cells
Outer layer of the skin ,lining of the nasal and oral cavity’s , pharynx, esophagus, vagina, urethra, anus
Stratified, cuboidal and stratified columnar
Rare
Pseudostratified columnar
Single layer of column shaped cells with a nuclei at different heights
Lines the trachea ( windpipe), bronchi(large airways), larynx(voice box), tubes of intestines
Pseudostratified squamous and pseudostratified Cuboidal
No such thing
Transitional Epithelium
Found lining urinary bladder and urethra
Multiple layers of epi cells the cells are squamous and cubodial shaped when the organs are stretched and column shaped when in stretched
Connective tissue
Most abundant tissue in the body
Vascular (had blood vessels embedded) exceptions are cartilage and dense regular ct
Innervated( has nerves wired to it )
Has ability to regenerate (Heal itself to certain extent)
Made up of ct cells and ct matrix
CT cells ending in “-blast”
Immature connective tissue cells
They are producing new connective tissue(healing or growing the tissues)
CT cells end in “cyte”
Mature cells that are maintaining the matrix they are “-blast” cells that have become trapped in the be tissue they’ve made
Osteoblasts/osteocytes
Bone cells
Chrondroblasts/chrondrocytes
Cartilage cells
Adipoblasts/Adipocytes
Fat cells
Fibroblasts/Fibrocytes
Generic CT cells
