Histology
4 types of tissue
EPITHELIAL
CONNECTIVE
MUSCLE
NERVOUS
CHARACTERISTICS: Limited intercellular space
EPITHELIAL
which means that cell are tightly packed together
CHARACTERISTICS: Single of multiple layers of cel
EPITHELIAL
consists of single or multiple layers of cell
CHARACTERISTICS: Has apical and basal surfaces
EPITHELIAL
CHARACTERISTICS:avascular
EPITHELIAL
Lack blood vessel
CHARACTERISTICS: Mitotic Capability
EPITHELIAL
divide and form new cells
FUNCTIONS OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE
FUNCTIONS: Protection
Sensory Secretions and Absorption
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE: Number of cell layers
- SIMPLE- Single
2. STRATIFIED- Multiple
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE: CELL SHAPES
SQUAMOUS
CUBOIDAL
COLUMNAR
SQUAMOUS
thin flat
CUBOIDAL
cube-shaped
COLUMNAR
more tall than wide
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIUM: Simple
- SQUAMOUS
- CUBOIDAL
- COLUMNAR
- NONCILIATED
- CILIATED
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIUM: Stratified
- SQUAMOUS
- NONKERATINIZED
- KERATINIZED - CUBOIDAL
- COLUMNAR
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIUM: Pseudostratified
- COLUMNAR
- NONCILIATED
- CILIATED
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIUM: Transitional
roughly cuboidal to columnar when not stretched and squamous- like when stretched
DESCRIPTION: Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm: the simplest of the epithelia.
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM
FUNCTION: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important: secretes lubricating substances in serosae
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM
LOCATION: Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining or heart; blood vessels and lymphatic vessel; lining of the ventral body cavity (serosae)
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM
DESCRIPTION: Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
FUNCTION: secretion and absorption
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
LOCATION: Kidney tubules and secretory portions of small glands and ovary surface.
