Week 2 Lab Ch 6 Histology Flashcards
Name three functions of the epithelial tissue
Covers Lining (respiratory tract) Secretes (stomach lining) Absorbs (intestine) Forms glands ( sweat glands)
Name the 4 types of tissue
Epithelial connective muscle nervous
Epithelial cells are open to
Free space
Epithelial tissue is
Avascular
Epithelial cells are able to
Regenerate
Epithelial cells are attached to
Basement membrane
Name the three types of epithelial tissue
Squamous cuboidal columnar
If epithelial tissue is simple how many layers does it have
One layer
If epithelial tissue is stratified how many layers does it have
More then one layer
These cells look multilayered but they are just one cell thick squished together
Pseudostratified columnar
Name an example of pseudo stratified columnar
Goblet cells
Where are goblet cells and what do they produce
In trachea and produce mucous
This type of epithelial tissue looks like all different types of cells mixed together for the purpose of stretching
Transitional
Give an example of transitional epithelial tissue
Stratified squamous in bladder
Type of gland where secretions are released into the blood stream
Endocrine
Give an example of an endocrine secretion
Hormones
This type of gland secretes through a duct to a body cavity or onto the surface
Exocrine
Give an example of an exocrine secretion
Sweat
Most abundant tissue type
Connective
Give 5 functions of the connective tissue
Bone Blood Fat Cartilage Ligaments Collagen Support Protects Blood transport Stores energy Insulates Protects
Connective tissue is derived from
Mesenchyme
Connective tissue is all vascular except
Tendons and ligaments
Connective tissue cells are surrounded by
Matrix
Name the 4 connective tissue proper
Loose areolar
Adipose
Reticular
Dense regular
Loose areolar is
Gel like
