CHAPTER 4 Flashcards
(34 cards)
Epithelial Tissue; function
forms boundaries between different environments, prtects, secretes absorbs, filters
Connective Tissue; function
supports, protects and binds other tissues together
Nervous Tissue; function
internal communication
Muscle Tissue; function
contracts to cause movement; attached to the bone
location of epithelial tissue
body surfaces, line internal cavities, forms glands
Classification of Epithelia
Simple/stratified and squamous/cuboidal/clumnar
Simple Squamous Tissue
Single layer, flattened clls, sparse cytoplasm
simple squamous tissue; function
diffusion and filtration, provide a slick/friction reducing lining
Simple Squamous Tissue; locations
kidney glameruli, lining of hear, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels
Simple Cuboidal
single layer, cube shaped, large/spherical central nuclei
Simple Cuboidal Tissue; function
Secrection and absorption
Simple Cuboidal Tissue; locations
kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands and ovary surface
Simple Columnar
many contain cilia, column like
Simple columnar; Function
absorption and secretion
Simple columnar; ciliated vs non-ciliated
ciliated: line small bronchi, uterine tubes
non-ciliated: lining of digestive tract
Pseudostratified Columnar
single layer, cells of different heights, nuclei seen at different layers, may have cilia
Pseudostratified; Function
secreton and propulsion of mucus
Pseudostratified; location
trachea, male sperm carrying ducts
Stratified Squamous
This membrane, several layers, keratinized or non-keratinized
Stratified squamous; function
protection of underlying areas subject to abrasion
Stratified squamous; location
external part of skin epidermis, lining of esophagus
Transitional Tissue
several layers
basal cells- cuboidal
surface cells- dome shaped
Transitional Tissue; function
stretches to permits distension
Transitional Tissue: locations
lining of urinary bladder, uterers and part of the urethra
