What are the three things tissues are classified on?
structure of cells composition of extracellular matrix function of cells
What are the major tissue types
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
What are the characteristics of epithelium
mostly cells and not much matrix covers body surfaces and forms glands free lateral and basal surface basement membrane avascular capable of regeneration
What is the basement membrane
extracellular material formed by secretions from epithelial and connective tissue cells
What is the purpose of basement membrane
attach epithelial cells to underlying tissues
guide cell migration for cell repair
filter
What is the function of epithelial tissues
barrier, diffusion, filtration, secretion, absorption, protection.
What do microvilli do?
increase surface area for absorption or secretion.
What is purpose of cilia
move materials across cell surface.
what does pseudostratified mean?
appears to be stratified, but all cells attached to basement membrane.
Where are simple squamous epithelium found?
lining of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, alveoli of lungs
Where are simple cuboidal epithelium found?
some with microvilli in kidney tubules and some line terminal bronchoiles of lungs
Where are simple columnar epithelium found
GI tract, microvilli, lungs, cilia.
Where are stratified squamos epithelium found
mouth, throat, esophagus.
Where is stratifued cuboidal epithelium found
sweat gland ducts
Where is stratified columnar epithelium found
mamary gland duct, larynx, urethra
where is pseudostratified columnar found
nasal sinuses, bronchi of lungs, mucus
Where are transitional epithelium found
urinary bladder, ureters.
What are the functions of cell connections
bind cells together.
holds cells together and forms permeable layer
intercellular communication
What are two types of glands
endocrine- no ducts
exocrine - ducts
What are the four ways glands are classified by structure.
simple
compound
tubular
acinar
acinar
saclike structures
What are the three types of glands by method of secretion
merocrine
apocrine
holocrine
What is merocrine
secretion with no loss of cellular material
What is apocrine
fragments in secretions. cell pinches off
