(stacked in columns - cytoplasm)
protects, absorbtion, and secretion located: lining of uterus, stomach, and intestines |
|
Stratified Squmous Epthelium
|
(flattens as they get closer to the surface)
Located: outter layer of skin, lining of oral cavity, vigina, and anal canal. (flatten because they are dehydrated) |
|
Stratified Cuboidal epthelium
|
Protection.
Found in mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas |
|
Stratified Columnar
|
Protection and secretion
located: male urethra and parts of the pharynx |
|
Transitional epthelium
|
(dome shaped)
Distensibility and protects located: lining of urinary bladder they stretch out to hold urine (expand) |
|
Glandular Epthelium
|
Secretion
located: salivary gland, sweat gland, and endocrine glands |
|
Exocrine glands
|
Glands that secrete their protucts so they can exit the cell
|
|
Endocrine glands
|
glands that secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood (hormones -> blood stream)
|
|
types of glandular secretion
|
Merocrine, Apocrine, and Holocrine
|
|
Merocrine
|
A fluid product released through the cell membrance by exocytosis
|
|
Apocrine
|
Glands that lose small portion of their glandular cell bodies during secretion
|
|
Holocrine
|
Glands that release entire cells
|
|
Connective Tissue
|
Blood supplied
|
|
fibroblast
|
Cells that eject fiber (proteins) into extra cellular tissue
|
|
Macrophages
|
(big eaters) eats up whatever that does not look like it belongs
|
|
Mass cells
|
release heparin (a compound that prevents blood clotting)
thin the blood |
|
Heparin
|
a compound that prevents blood clotting
|
|
Connective tissue fibers
|
collagenous, elastic, and reticular
|
|
Collagenous Fibers
|
Thick threads of protein collagen.
apart of ligaments(connect bones to bones) and tendons (muscles to bones) |
|
collagen
|
the major structral protein of the body
|
|
Elastic Fibers
|
composed of springlike proteins (elastin)
allows maximum movement |
|
Reticular Fibers
|
thin collagenous fibers
forms supportive networks within tissues |
|
Connective Tissue proper
|
loose connective tissue (areolar, adipose, reticular) and Dense connective tissue (dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic)
|
|
Specialized Connective Tissue
|
Cartilage, Bones, and Blood
|
|
Areolar Tissue
|
Form delicate, thin membranes throughout the body (fibroblast)
binds the skin to the underlying organs and fill space between muscle |
|
Adipose Tissue
|
(fats) developes when certain cell (adipocytes) store fats in droplets in their cytoplasm
|
|
Reticular Connective Tissue
|
Thin, collagenous fibers in a 3-dimensional network
provides framework for internal parts( liver, spleen, etc.) |
|
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
|
Thick, collagenous fibers.
found in the tendons and ligaments (flexablilty and strength) |
|
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
|
Thicker, interwoven, and more randomly organized (dermis, inner skin layer)
|
|
Elastic Connective Tissue
|
Consist of yellow, elastic fibebrs
(found in attachments between bones of the spinal column and layers within the walls of certain hollow internal organs) |
|
Cartilage
|
