4 types of animal tissues
- epithelial tissue
- connective tissue
- muscle tissue
- nervous tissue
this type of animal tissue cover surfaces and line body cavities
epithelial tissue
functions for movement
muscle tissues
conducts electrical impulses and for sensation
nervous tissue
support function, connect tissues to another
connective tissue
specialized function of epithelial tissue
absorption & secretion
specialized function of connective tissue
transport
type of tissue that includes the mucus and serous membranes
epithelial tissue
8 types of epithelial tissue
- simple squamous
- simple cuboidal
- simple squamous (tubular arrangement)
- simple cuboidal (forming a small duct)
- simple columnar
- pseudostratified columnar (ciliated)
- transitional
- stratified squamous (moist type)
- cells are thin and flat
- spherical to polygonal (in wide view)
- centrally located nucleus
- nucleus usually centrally located
squamous
- cells are cube-like
- width and length almost similar
- centrally located nucleus
cuboidal
- column-like; taller than wide
- basally-located nucleus
columnar
lines tubules and ducts
cuboidal
lines digestive & respiratory tracts
columnar
changes shape because of regular distension
transitional
located in the urinary bladder
transitional
state of transitional cells wherein it is round, cuboidal cells
collapsed state
