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

-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
|
-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
|
-secretion -absorption -movement (by ciliated columnar epithelium) |
|
transitional tissue location
|
-surface of mucous membrane lining urinary bladder and ureters.
|
|
transitional tissue function
|
permits stretching |
|

-secretory portion is branched and tubular. -location: gastric and uterine glands. |
|
simple coiled tubular gland
|
-location: sudiferous glands or sweat glands. |
|
simple acinar gland
|
-location: seminal vesicle. |
|
