|
column like |
columner |
|
single layer of flat cells usually forms membranes -lines body cavities -lines lungs & capillaries |
simple squamous |
|
single layer of cube like cells common in glands and their ducts forms walls of kidney tubules covers ovaries |
simple cubodial |
|
single layer of tall cells often includes mucus- producing goblet cells lines digestive tract |
simple columner |
|
single layer but some cells are shorter than others often looks like double layer of cells sometimes ciliated, such as respiratory tract may function in absorption or secretion |
pseudo-stratified columner |
|
cells at the apical surface are flattened found as a protective covering where friction is common locations -skin -mouth -esophagus |
stratified squamous |
|
two layers of cuboidal cells |
stratified cubodial |
|
surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape |
stratified columner |
|
________ are rare in the human body and are found mainly in ducts (glands) |
both |
|
shape of cells depends on the amount of stretching lines organs of the urinary system |
transitional epithelial |
|
one or more cells responsible for secreting a particular product found in two major glands |
glandular epithelial |
|
glandular epithelium is found in what two glands? |
endocrine and exocrine |
|
ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels |
endocrine |
|
secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface include sweat and oil glands |
exocrine glands |
|
found everywhere in the body includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues |
connective tissues |
|
bonds body tissues together supports the body provides protection |
functions of connective tissue |
|
variation in blood supply extracellular matrix |
connective tissue characteristics |
|
non living material that surrounds living cells |
extracellular matrix |
|
made of ground substance, adhesion proteins, and polysaccharide molecules |
extracellular matrix |
|
made of adhesion proteins, and polysaccharide molecules
|
|
|
what are extracellular matrix’s made of? |
ground substance and fibers |
|
what are the 3 types of fibers |
collagen, elastic, recticular fibers |
|
composed of bone cells in luncunae (cavities) hard matrix of calcium salts large # of collagen fibers used to protect and support the body |
bone (osseous) tissue |
|
most common type of cartilage composed of abundant collagen fibers and a rubbery matrix |
hyaline cartilage |
|
where is hyaline cartilage found? |
larynx entire fetal skeleton prior to birth |
|
provides elasticity supports the external ear |
elastic cartilage |
|
highly compressible forms cushion like discs between the vertebrae |

|
main matrix element is collagen fibers fibroblasts |
dense connective (fibrous) tissue |
|
cells that make fibers |

tendons |
|
attach bone to bone at joints |
ligaments |
|
lower layer of the skin |
dermis |
|
most widely distributed connective tissue soft, pliable tissue like cobwebs functions as a packing tissue contains all fiber types can soak up all excess fluid (causes edema) |
areolar tissue |
|
matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate many cells contain large lipid deposits |
