Tissue: Simple
-consists of tissues made up of one layer of cells.
Tissue: Statified

-consists of tissues made up of more than one layer of cells; can be keratinized or nonkeritinized. Keratin is a protein that provides a waterproof barrier for the tissue.
Shape of Cell: Squamous

-cells are polygonal or rounded and flattened in cross section. May not be able to see the nuclei but it is centrally located.
Shape of Cell: cuboidal

-cells are cube-shaped with rounded edges.

Shape of Cell: columnar
-cells are shaped like columns, taller than they are wide.

Shape of Cell: transitional
-cells change shape as they are stretched or compressed. They are always stratified.
Simple Squamous tissue location



-alveoli in the lungs


-lining of blood and lymphatic vessels (endothelium)


-surface layer of pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum (mesothelium)

Simple Squamous tissue Function
-absorption, diffusion, or filtration of water, gases, and other substances.
Stratified squamous tissue Location

nonkerintinized: surface of mucous lining the mouth, esophagus, and vagina


Keritinized: surface of the skin

Stratified squamous tissue function
-protection
Simple cuboidal tissue location

in many types of glands and their ducts; also found in ducts and tubules of other organs like the kidneys
simple cuboidal tissue function

secretion and absorption
pseudostratified tissue location


-surface of mucous membrane lining the trachea, large bronchi, nasal mucosa, and parts of the male urinary and reproductive tracts (epididymis and vas deferens); lines of some large glands (paratoid).




-found both ciliated and nonciliated.


pseudostratified tissue function

-protection


-in the kidneys, it is specialized for water reabsorption and ion movement.



simple columnar tissue location


-surface layer of mucous lining stomach, intestines, excretory ducts, and part of respiratory tract.


-contain specialized cells called goblet cells that open to the free surface and release mucous that assists in lubrication and protection of epithelial lining.

simple columnar tissue function


-protection


-secretion


-absorption


-movement (by ciliated columnar epithelium)

transitional tissue location
-surface of mucous membrane lining urinary bladder and ureters.
transitional tissue function

permits stretching
unicellular endocrine gland


-consist of one cell, secrete mucus.


-location: goblet cells located in the respiratory and digestive systems.

Multicellular endocrine gland


-many-celled glands occurring in several different forms.




simple gland

-single, nonbranched duct

simple tubular gland


-secretory portion is straight and tubular.


-location: intestinal glands

simple branched tubular gland

-secretory portion is branched and tubular.


-location: gastric and uterine glands.

simple coiled tubular gland


-secretory portion is coiled


-location: sudiferous glands or sweat glands.

simple acinar gland


-secretory portion is flask-like


-location: seminal vesicle.



simple branched anicar gland

-secretory portions is branched and flask-like


-location: sebaceous or oil glands


compound

-branched duct.

compound tubular gland


-secretory portion is tubular


-location: bulbourethral or cowper's glands, testes, liver.

compound acinar gland


-secretory portion is flask-like


-location: sublingual and submandibular salivary glands.

compound tubuloacinar gland


-secretory portion is both tubular and flasklike


-location: parotid salivary glands, pancreas.




Holocrine gland


-accumulate their secretory product in their cytoplasm. The cell discharges is contents into the bloodstream when it dies. This discharged cell is then replaced with a new one.


-location: sebaceous (oil) glands

Apocrine gland


-accumulate secretory products at the outer margins of the secreting cells.


-location: sudiferous (sweat) glands in the axilla.




Merocrine gland


-produce secretions that are simply formed by the secretory cells and then are discharged into the ducts.


-location: pancreas and salivary glands.
