Types of tissues (Basics of Histo) Flashcards
Scope: a) Types of germ layers b) Categories of tissues b.1) Epithelium -Covering epithelia -Glandular epithelia b.2. Connective tissues -General connective tissues -Special connective tissues -Deposits found in connective tissues b.3. Muscle tissues b.4. Nervous tissues

Framework
Cells are widely separated
Connective tissue
Categories of tissues and the germ layer from where they were formed.
- Epithelial = 3 germ layers
- Nervous = endoderm
- Muscular = mesoderm
- Connective = mesoderm
3 germ layers
- Ectoderm
- Mesoderm
- Endoderm
What type of epithelial are Bowman’s, endothelium, alveoli and loop of Henle?
Simple squamous epithelium
What type of epithelium are ducts of glands and walls of thyroid follicles?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
What type of epithelium are gallbladder (nonciliated) and uterine tube (ciliated)?
Simple columnar epithelium
Give body areas where stratified squamous epithelium are found.
skin (keratinized),
vagina,
esophagus, and
cervix (non-keratinized)
Give body areas where stratified squamous epithelium are found.
What type of epithelium is male urethra?
stratified columnar epithelium
The following are what type of epithelium?
•Female reproductive tract (nonciliated)
•Trachea (ciliated)
•Epididymis
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Types of covering epithelia
- Simple squamous
- Simple cuboidal
- Simple columnar
- Stratified squamous
- Stratified columnar
- Pseudostratified columnar
with ducts
Tubular = stomach, uterus
Acinar/ alveolar = pancreas, salivary glands
Tubuloacinar = prostate
Exocrine glands
ductless glands
Endocrine glands
Exocrine = enzymes
Endocrine = hormones
Pancreas
No loss of cytoplasm
Goblet cells, sweat glands
Merocrine
with loss of cytoplasm
Distal portion is pinched off
Mammary glands
Apocrine
Disintegrating cell and its constituents released
Complete breakdown of cell
Sebaceous glands
Holocrine
