|
Simple CuboidalEpithelium |
Epithelial cells in a single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei.
|
|
|
SimpleColumnar Epithelium |
A columnar epithelium that is uni-layered. In humans, lines most organs of the digestive tract including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
|
|
|
Goblet Cells |
Glandular simple columnar epithelial cells whose function is to secrete mucin, which dissolves in water to form mucus.
|
|
|
Microvilli |
Tiny hairlike folds in the plasma membrane that extend from the surface of many absorptive or secretory cells.
|
|
|
CiliatedPseudostratified Columnar Epithelium |
The type of tissue that lines parts of the respiratory system, such as the nasal cavities and trachea.
|
|
|
SimpleSquamous Epithelium |
Epithelium made up of a single layer of flattened scalelike cells.
|
|
|
StratifiedSquamous Epithelium |
The variety of epithelium covering the oral mucosa and dermal surfaces; composed of layers of cells oriented parallel to the surface.
|
|
|
Areolar CT(Connective Tissue) |
A common type of loose connective tissue. It is strong enough to bind different tissue types together, yet soft enough to provide flexibility and cushioning.
|
|
|
Elasticfiber |
Any of the fibers 0.2 to 2 micrometers in diameter containing elastin.
|
|
|
Collagenfiber |
An individual scleroprotein fiber composed of fibrils and usually arranged in branching bundles of indefinite length.
|
|
|
Fibroblast |
An immature fiber-producing cell of connective tissue capable of differentiating into chondroblast, collagenoblast, or osteoblast.
|
|
|
Denseregular CT |
Provides connection between different tissues in the human body.
|
|
|
Denseirregular CT |
Has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles
|
|
|
AdiposeTissue |
Connective tissue made of fat cells in meshwork of areolar tissue.
|
|
|
ReticularTissue |
Connective tissue consisting of reticular cells and fibers.
|
|
|
Hyalinecartilage |
A flexible semitransparent substance with an opalescent tint, composed of a basophilic, fibril-containing substance with cavities in which the chondrocytes occur.
|
|
|
Chondrocyte |
One of the cells embedded in the lacunae of the cartilage matrix.
|
|
|
Lacunae |
An anatomical cavity, space, or depression, especially in a bone.
|
|
|
Fibrocartilage |
Cartilage of parallel, thick, compact collagenous bundles, separated by narrow clefts containing the typical cartilage cells (chondrocytes).
|
|
|
Elasticcartilage |
Cartilage whose matrix contains yellow elastic fibers.
|
|
|
|
the hard, rigid form of connective tissue constituting most of the skeleton of vertebrates, composed chiefly of calcium salts.
