Locations and functions Flashcards
Linings
Alveoli of lungs
Kidney tubules
Reduces friction
controls vessel permeability
performs absorption and secretion
Simple squamous epithelium
Surface of skin
linings of mouth throat esophagus and nasty parts
Provides physical protection against abrasions pathogens and chemical attack
Stratified squamous epithelium
Glands ducts
portions of kidney tubules
thyroid gland
Limited protection secretion and absorption
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Lining of some ducts
Protection secretion absorption
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Urinary bladder
Renal pelvis
Ureters
Permits repeated cycles of stretching without damage
Transitional epithelium
Lining of stomach intestine gallbladder uterine Tubes and collecting ducts of kidneys
Protection secretion absorption
Simple columnar epithelium
Lining of nasal cavity
Trachea and bronchi
Portions of male reproductive tract
Production secretion
move mucus with cilia
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Small areas of pharynx epiglottis anus mammary glands salivary gland ducts and urethra
Protection
Stratified columnar epithelium
Within and deep to the dermis of the skin, and covered by the epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tract’s; between muscles; around joints, blood vessels, and nerves
Cushions organs
provide support but permits independent movement;
phagocytotic cells
provide defense against pathogens
Areolar tissue or loose tissue
Deep to the skin especially at the sides buttocks and breasts padding around eyes and kidneys
Provides padding and cushions shocks; insulates, stores energy
Adipose tissue
Liver kidney spleen lymph nodes and bone marrow
Provides supporting framework
Reticular tissue
Between skeletal muscles and skeleton; between bones or stabilizing positions of internal organs; covering school to muscles; deep fasciae
Provides firm attachment
conducts pull of muscles
reduces friction between muscles
stabilizes positions of bones
Dense regular connective tissue
Capsules of this for organs; periostea and perichondria; Nerve and muscle sheaths; dermis
Provide strength to resist forces from many directions
Helps prevent overexpansion of organs
Dense irregular connective tissue
Between vertebrae of the spinal column ligament supporting transitional epithelium; in blood vessel walls
Stabilizes positions of vertebrae
Christians shock
Permits expansion and contraction of organs
Elastic tissue
Between tips of ribs and bones of sternum; covering down surfaces at synovial joints; supporting larynx Trachea and bronchi forming part of nasal septum
Provide stiff but somewhat flexible support
Reduces friction between Bony Surfaces
Hyaline Cartilage
