|
The Major tissue types |
|

Nervous Tissue |
Function: Control Activities Ex. Ruffini Corpuscle, Meissner's Corpuscle, Free Nerve Ending, Pacinian Corpuscle |
|
Muscle Tissue |
Functions: Facilitates movement for the whole body Ex: Papilla erector (makes hair stand up) |
|
Simple Cuboidal |
Function: Absorption and Secretion Location: Kidneys, Glands, Lungs, ovary |
|
Nonciliated Simple Columnar |
Function: Secretion of Mucus, Absorption and Secretion Location: Lining of the Digestive Tract, lining of the stomach does not contain goblet cells |
|
Ciliated Simple Columnar |
Function: Secretion of Mucin and Movement of mucus along the Apical (outer) Surface of the epithelium by action of Cilia Location: Lining of the Uterine tubes, and Bronchioles of respiratory tract |
|
Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous |
Function: Protection of underlying tissues Location: Lining of the Vagina, Oral Cavity, Esophagus, and Anus |
|
Keratinized Stratified Squamous |
Function: Protection of underlying tissues Location: Epidermis of Skin |
|
Stratified Cuboidal |
Function: Protection and Secretion Location: Found in large ducts in most exocrine glands |
|
Pseudostratified Columnar |
Function: Protection, ciliated form also involved in secretion of mucin and the movement of mucus across the surface. Location: Ciliated form is in most of the Respiratory Tract, including trachea, nasal cavity |
|
Transitional Epithelium |
Function: Distension and relaxation to accommodate urine volume changes in bladder, ureters, and urethra. Location: Urinary Bladder, Ureters, Urethra |
|
Glandular |
|
|
Types of Junction |
|
|
Endocrine Glands |
Lack ducts and secrete their fluids directly into the interstitial Fluid or blood stream They Secrete hormones internally |
|
Exocrine Glands |
Are typically in Epithelium Tissue, Externally secrete Ex: Goblet cells Types: Merocrine, Holocrine, Apocrine |
|
Merocrine Glands |
They package their secretions in secretory vesicles Location: Tear glands, Salivary glands, Some sweat glands, Pancreas Exocrine Glands |
|
Holocrine Glands |
Ex. Oil Producing glands in the skin Secrete by the Vesicles rupturing |
|
Apocrine Glands |
Ex Mammary Glands Secrete by decapitating the Vesicles |
|
Acini |
Are the sacs the produce secretion in the exocrine gland, with multiple ducts leading into larger ducts |
|
Duct |
A tube from which the exocrine gland discharges secretions to the apical surface |
|
Mesenchymal Cell |
Stem Cells for the connective tissue They can change into what cells you want them to! They are the original connective tissue type |
|
