Stomach - organ Blood - tissue Lung - organ Heart - organ Bone - tissue Kidney - organ Cartilage - tissue
What are 4 types of tissue?
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscular
- Neural
Epithelial tissue has ____ surface which faces _____ or _____
free surface,
body fluid or outside environment
Epithelial tissue provides a covering or lining for some part of the body like skin, stomach or intestine. T or F?
True
Epithelial tissue cells are loosely or compactly packed?
Little or lot of intercellular matrix?
Compactly, little intercellular matrix
Two types of epithelial tissues?
Simple and Compound
Three types of simple epithelial tissue?
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Squamous epithelium is made of single, thin layer whereas cuboidal and columnar are multilayer. T or F?
False, all simple epithelium is single layered
Simple epithelium functions as lining for ___ , ___ and ____
body cavities, ducts and tubes
Compound epithelium has how many cell layers?
And what function?
Two or more cell layers,
protection against chemical/mechanical stresses
Simple epithelium cells function as protective layer like in the skin, whereas compound epithelium provide covering or lining. T or F?
False, reverse
Shapes of three types of simple epithelial tissue?
Squamous - flattened cells, irregular boundaries
Cuboidal - cube-like
Columnar - tall and slender cells
_____ are found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys.
_____ are found in walls of blood vessels and air sacs of lungs.
_____ are found in lining of stomach and intestine.
Columnar / Cuboidal / Squamous
Cuboidal - glands + kidney nephrons
Squamous - Blood vessels + lungs
Columnar - stomach + intestine
Functions of squamous, cuboidal and columnar epithelium?
Squamous - diffusion boundary in blood vessels and lung air sacs
Cuboidal - secretion and absorption in glands and kidneys
Columnar - secretion and absorption in stomach / intestine
Which simple epithelium cells may have cilia?
On which surface?
What are they called?
Columnar or cuboidal
free surface
What is ciliated epithelium?
Columnar or cuboidal epithelium with cilia
move particles / mucus in specific direction
Where does one find ciliated epithelium?
inner surface of hollow organs (e.g. bronchioles, fallopian tubes)
Ciliated epithelium move mucus / particles through the epithelium. T or F?
False, OVER the epithelium
Free surface may have cilia or microvilli. T or F?
True
Which type of epithelium cells have nuclei located at the base?
Columnar
Epithelium of ___________ of the nephron in kidney has microvili
Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
