4 Primary Tissue Classes
-Epithelial
-Connective
-Muscle
-Nervous
Location of Epithelial Tissue
-lines or covers body cavities
What glands does the Epithelial Tissue contain?
-Exocrine Gland
-Endocrine Gland
Define apical surface
the exterior surface of the body or some internal space
Define base surface
the bottom edge of the cell or tissue adjacent attach to basement membrane
Define polarity
structural functional differences between the exposed (apical) and (basal) attached surfaces
Characteristics of simple epithelial
-One layer of cells
-Named by shapes of cells
-All cells touch basement membrane
Characteristics of stratified epithelial
-More than one layer of cells
-Name by shape of apical cells
-Some cells rest on top of others and don’t touch basement membrane
Epithelium is avascular containing no blood vessels
True or false
