|
the free of unattached surface of epithelium, called this as it is in contact with a surface called a lumen.
|
|
|
simple squamous epithelium
|
a single layer of flattened epithelial cells, very thin and designed for exchange of materials, osmosis etc.
Found in alveoli of lungs and in kidney |
|
|
simple cuboidal epithelium
|
single layer of epithelial cells where each cells in square in shape. designed for secretion and absorption.
found in tubules of kidney, thyroid gland, ovaries and ducts of glands. |

exocrine glands
|
excrete product into a duct which carries it to a specific body location.
|
|
|
endocrine glands
|
contains no duct, instead it passes its secretions into the blood or lymph.
|
|
|
connective tissue
|
for connections between and support for epithelial, muscular and nervous tissue.
two types: loose (acts as packing material between cells) and dense (provide tough support)` |
|
|
fibrous connective tissue
|
made of fibroblasts/fibrocytes. and a E.C.M. made of fibres (such as collagen) and ground substances.
|
|
|
ligaments
|
dense connective tissue that link bones to bones. stretch but do not flex.
|
