Name the 4 major types of tissue
|
Epithelial
connective muscular nervous |
|
|
Describe the function of Epithelial tissue
|
Covers body surface
line body cavities form boundaries between different environments protect, secerete, absorb and filter |
|
|
Define simple vs stratified epithelium
|
Simple epithelia is a single layer of cells (simple squamous, cuboidal, columar, pseudostratified, ciliated epithelia)
Stratified Epithelia is more than one layer of cells (stratified squamous (only top layer has squamous shape), cuboidal, columnar, and transitional) |
|
|
Explain the functions of pseudostratified and transitional epithelium
|
Pseudostratified columar epithelium is found in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, trachea (ciliary escalator), and bronchi
Transitional stratified epithelium is found in several basal layers, lining of the distensible walls of the urina tact, and cells flatten when stretched |
|
|
Define Connective tissue
|
Supports
protects binds tissues together *found directly under epithelial layer |
|
|
Explain the functions of loose vs dense connective tissues
|
Loose connective tissue have no physical connection (blood and sperm cells, certain phagocytotic cells)
Dense connective tissues are tight together for communication, particularly avascular epithelian cells |
