Type of tissues Function Locations |
Simple squamous epithelium Function : Allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration, where protection is not a priority. Location: Kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessel, lymphatic vessels, serosae |
|
Name of tissue Function Location |
Simple cuboidal epithelium Function : secretion and absorption Location : Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory parts of small glands, ovary surface. |
|
Name of tissue Function Location (ciliated and non ciliated) |
Simple columnar epithelium Function: absorption. Secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances Location: nonciliated : stomach, rectum, gallbladder, excretory ducts of some glands Ciliated: small bronchi, uterine tubes, some regions of uterus |
|
Identify the tissue. Where can it be found ? What does it do ? |
Simple squamous epithelium Allows material to pass by diffusion and filtration. Kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, blood vessels, lymph vessels, lining of ventral cavity |
|
What Where How |
Simple cuboidal epithelium Secretion and absorption Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portion of small glands, ovary surface |
|
What Where How |
Simple columnar epithelium Absorption, secretion Non ciliated : digestive tract stomach to rectum Ciliated: small bronchi, uterine tubes, some parts of uterus |
|
What Where How |
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Secretes substances, particularly mucus, propulsion Non ciliated : male s sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands Ciliated : lines trachea and upper respiratory tract |
|
What Where How |
Stratified squamous epithelium Protects tissues subject to abrasion Non keratinized : lining of esophagus, mouth, vagina Keratinized : dermis, skin |
|
What Where How |
Transitional epithelium Permits urine to distend organ Lines urether, bladder, part of uretha |
|
|
4 basic kinds of tissue found in the human body |
Epithelial Nervous Connective Muscle |
|
Type of tissue Location Function |
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Single layer, tall column like cells, differing in height, some cells may not reach the apical surface. Nuclei at different levels. Line the reproductive and respiratory tracts. Often ciliated. |
|
Tissue type Location Function |
Stratified squamous epithelial Keratinized : Skin Non Keratinized : lining of vagina, esophagus, lining of mouth Protection from the outside |
|
Type of tissue Function Location |
Transitional epithelium Multiple layers of cells lining the urinary tract. Kidneys. |
