The Tissues and integumentary System Flashcards
Gives rise to epidermis and nervous system
Ectoderm
Produces mucous membrane of respiratory
tract, thyroid gland, secretory parts of pancreas
Endoderm
Gives rise to connective and muscle tissue
Mesoderm
Cells are specialized for particular functions
Body Tissues
group of cells with similar structure and function
Tissues
FOUR PRIMARY TYPES
- Epithelium
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous Tissue
TO FOUND IN
o body coverings
o body linings
o Glandular tissues
Epithelial Tissue
TO FUNCTION AS Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial cells may assume one of the three
basic shapes:
squamous, cuboidal, or columnar
it appear as single or multiple
layers.
Epithelia
Consists of a single layer of flat, scale-like cells
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS
Consists of a single layer of cube-like cells
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL
Consists of a single layer of tall cells
SIMPLE COLUMNAR
Consists of a single layer of irregularly
shaped columnar cells
PSEUDOSTATIFIED
protection as it forms a thick
layer of epithelium
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS
two layers of cuboidal cells
STATIFIED CUBOIDAL
surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
found mainly in ducts of
large glands
STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL AND COLUMNAR
Multiple cell layers
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
GRANDULAR EPITHELIUM
-ENDOCRINE
GLAND
-EXOCRINE GLANDS
o ductless
o secrete hormones
ENDOCRINE
GLAND
o ducts to surface
o oil and sweat
EXOCRINE GLANDS
TO FOUND IN
o Everywhere
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
TO FUNCTION AS
- Binds tissue together
- Supports the body
- Provides protection
