A&p Tissues

Front 1

Mesothelium

Back 1

Simple Squamous Epithelium that forms the epithelial layer of serous membrane that lines the Thorasic & Abdominalpelvic cavities & covers viscera within cavities

Front 2

Endothelium

Back 2

Simple Squamous epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels & lymphatic vessels.

Front 3

Ciliated Epithelium

Back 3

Single layer of ciliated column like cells with nuclei near base.
Contains columnar epithelial cells with cilia at the apical surface.

Front 4

Stratified Epithelium

Back 4

2 or more layers of cells.
Cells in the apical layer are flat on deep layers, vary in shape.

Front 5

Basement Membrane

Back 5

Thin exteacellular layer that functions as a point of attachment & support for the overlying epithelial tissue.

Front 6

Cuboidal Epithelium

Back 6

Single layer of cube shaped cells.
Found in thyroid gland, kidneys, functions of secretion & absorption.

Front 7

Simple Epithelium

Back 7

Single layer of cells, functions in diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion, and absorption.

Front 8

Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue

Back 8

Closely packed cells held together tightly by cell junctions, very little intercelluar material between cells.
Arranged in sheets(single or multiple) layers.
Apical surface exposed to a body cavity, lining of an internal organ, or exterior body of a basal surface attached to basment membrane.
Avascular(w/out blood vessels).

Front 9

Tissue

Back 9

Group of similar cells that usually have the same embroylogical origin & function together to carry out specialized activites.
1.Epithelial
2.Connective
3.Muscle
4.Nervous

Front 10

Synoval Membrane

Back 10

Lines the cavities of freely movable joints.
Hyaline cartilage in knees.
Synovial=Egg like fluid

Front 11

Mucous Membrane

Back 11

Lines a body cavity open directly to the exterior.
Line the entire digestive, respiratory, & reproductive tracts.
Mouth, Nose, Trachea, Vagina

Front 12

Serous Membrane

Back 12

Internal.
Parietal-Covers wall of the cavity.
Visceral-Covers & attaches to the ORGANS inside cavity.
Pleura-Lining thorasic cavity & covers lungs.
Pericardium-Lining of thr Heart cavity & covers heart.
Peritoneum-Lining abdominal cavity & covers abdominal organs.

Front 13

Characterisics of Muscle Tissue
Smooth Muscle

Back 13

In the walls of the hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, airway, stomach, intestines, gallbladder & urninary bladder.
Involuntary, Lack of striations
Contracts like a dishrag(twisting)
Tapered at ends.

Front 14

Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
Cardiac

Back 14

Forms most of the wall of the heart
Striations, Involuntary, Intercalated discs.

Front 15

Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
Skeletal

Back 15

Skeletal Muscle-Attached to bones of skeleton
Elongated cells(control over them)
Heat production, movement, stability, move substances through body & change size & shape of some organs
Striations, Voluntary, Multiple Nuclei.
