What type of tissue forms the body’s glands?
Epithelial
Aires from mesenchyme?
Connective
What tissues lack blood vessels?
Epithelial and Cartilage
Makes up the brain, spinal chord, and nerves?
Nervous Tissue
Tissue that is specialized to produce movement?
Muscle Tissue
What tissue includes bone, cartilage and blood?
Connective
Polarity characteristic in Epithelial
Surfaces differ, apical = exposed to surface or cavity, basal = lower attached, rests on basal lamina
Specialized contacts in Epithelila
Epithelial fits closely together with tight junctions and desmosomes
Epithelial is Supported by CT meaning…
they are seperated by a basement membrane (extracellular sheet)
The basement membrane is made of what?
an extracellular sheet that is made up of basal lamina (proudced by epithelial) and reticular lamina (produced by CT)
Epithelial tissue is avascular, but innervated meaning…
has no blood vessels, but HAS nerves
What is regeneration in Epithelial?
meaning lost cells can readily be replaced
Simple squamous features
since its thin, it allows rapid diffusion
Where is simple squamous ET found?
air sacs of lungs, lining of blood vessels and heart
Simpe cuboidal features
since it has a lot of room, it is good for absorption and secretion
Where is simpe cuboidal ET found?
kidney tubules, and ducts of small glands
Simple columnar features
(has microvilli on top) absorbtion and secretion of MUCUS
Where is simple columnar ET found?
digestive tract
Psuedostratified columnar features
secretion and MOVEMENT of mucus
Where is psuedostratified columnar ET found?
upper respiratory tract
Stratified squamous features
the many layers protects from wear and tear
Where is stratified squamous ET found?
epidermis of skin, linings of mouth, esophagus, and vagina
Transitional ET features
can stretch and accomadate stored urine
Where is transitional ET found?
lining of urinary organs, bladder, and ureters
