Tissues |
-groups of cells with similar structure and function |
|
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous |
Four types of tissues |
|
Body coverings, body linings, glandular tissue |
Locations of epithelial tissues • • • |
|
Protection, absorption, filtration, secretion |
Functions of epithelial tissues • • • • |
|
Epithelial |
Characteristics of ___ tissues •cells fit closely together & often form sheets |
|
Epithelial |
Characteristics of ___ tissues •the apical surface is the free surface of the tissue |
|
Pseudostratified |
____ Columnar -single layer, but some cells are shorter than others -often looks like a double layer of cells -sometimes ciliated, such as in the respiratory tract -may function in absorption or secretion |
|
Squamous |
Stratified epithelia Stratified ___ -cells at the apical surface are flattened -found as a protective covering where friction is common -locations •mouth •skin •esophagus |
|
Cuboidal |
Stratified epithelia Stratified ___ -2 layers of cuboidal cells |
|
Columnar |
Stratified epithelia Stratified ___ -surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape |
|
Cuboidal & columnar |
Stratified epithelia Stratified ___ -rare in human body -found mainly in ducts of large glands |
|
Transitional |
Stratified epithelia ___ epithelium -shape of cells depends upon the amount of stretching -lines organs of the urinary system |
|
Gland |
-one or more cells responsible for secreting a particular product |
|
Endocrine |
Two major gland types: ____ gland -ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels -all secretions are hormones |
|
Exocrine |
Two major gland types: ____ gland -secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface -include sweat and oil glands |
|
Connective |
___ tissue -found Everywhere in the body -includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues |
|
Epthelial |
Characteristics of ___ tissues •the lower surface of the epithelium rests on a basement membrane(basal surface) |
|
Connective |
___ tissue functions: -binds body tissues together -supports the body -provides protection |
|
G |
H |
|
Connective |
Characteristics of __ tissue •variations in blood supply -some tissue types are well vascularized -some have a poor blood supply or are avascular |
|
Connective |
Characteristics of __ tissue •extracellular matrix - non-living material that surrounds living cells |
|
Ground substance Fibers |
Two main elements of the extracellular matrix: •___-mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules •___ |
|
The cells, Reticular fibers, Collagen (white) fibers, Elastic (yellow) fibers |
The fibers of the extracellular matrix are produced by ___ And have 3 types: |
|
Bone, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage, dense connective tissue, loose"", blood |
Types of connective tissue: • • • • • • • |
|
Bone |
Types of connective tissue: ___(osseous tissue) -composed of •__ cells in lacunae (cavities) •hard matrix of calcium salts •large numbers of collagen fibers |
|
Hyaline cartilage |
Types of connective tissue: ___ cartilage -most common type of cartilage -composed of •abundant collagen fibers •rubbery matrix |
|
Epithelial |
Characteristics of ___ tissues •Avascular(no blood supply) |
|
Epithelial |
Characteristics of ___ tissues •regenerate easily if well nourished |
|
Simple Stratified |
Number of cell layers ____-one layer ____-more than one layer |
|
Flattened, cubed-shaped, column-like |

Types of simple epithelia • • • • |
|
Squamous |
Simple ____ -usually forms membranes •lines body cavities •lines lungs & capillaries |
|
Cuboidal |
Simple ____ -common in glands and their ducts -forms walls of kidney tubules -covers the ovaries |
|
Columnar |
Simple ____ -often includes mucus-producing goblet cells -lines digestive tract |
