Epithelial tissue Flashcards
(101 cards)
Line the surface/ body cavity
Epithelial tissue
Serves as gland
Epithelial tissue
Elongated cells with extremely fine process
Nervous tissue
Aggregated polyhedral cells
Epithelial tissue
Elongated contractile cells
Muscle tissue
Several types of fixed and wandering cells
Connective tissue
Has very small amount of ECM
Nervous
Small amount of ECM
Epithelial
Moderate ammount of ECM
Muscle
Abundant ECM
Conective tissue
Transmission of nerve impulses
Nervous tissue
Lining of surface or body cavity and for glandular secretion
Epithelial tissue
Strong contraction and body movement
Muscle tissue
Support and protection of tissues and organs
Connective tissue
Most organs can be divided into
Stroma and Parenchyma
Group of cell or tissue responsible for organs specialized functions
Parenchyma
Example of parenchyma
lungs, parenchyma is alveoli
cells that has supporting role in the organ; hold the organ
Stroma
Principal functions of epithelial tissue
- Covering, lining and protecting surfaces (epidermis)
- Absorption (intestinal lining)
- Secretion ( Parenchymal cells of gland)
Specific cells of certain epithelia may be
contractile (Myo epithelial cells) or Specialized sensory cells (taste buds or olfactory epithelium)
Oblong/ rectangular shape
columnar epithelium
circle/square shape
Cuboidal Epithelium
flat
Squamous Epithelium
lines the intestine and stomach
Columnar epithelium
