1
Q

Tissues

A

A group of closely associated cells that perform related functions and are similar in structure

2
Q

Histology

A

The study of tissue

3
Q

Function

A

Four basic types of tissue

4
Q

Epithelium

A

Covering, sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity ; also form most of the body’s gland

5
Q

Connective tissue

A

Support

6
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Movement

7
Q

Nervous tissue

A

Control

8
Q

Functions

A

Protects underlying tissues, absorbs, makes up glands that secrete, and makes up sweat glands that excrete

9
Q

Epithelial

A

Cells are anchored to each other and to underlying tissues by a specialized membrane called the basement membrane

10
Q

Squamous

A

Flat, irregular shaped. Line the heart, blood, and lymphatic vessels, body cavities, and lungs

11
Q

Cuboidal

A

Cubed-shaped cells that line the kidney tubules and cover the ovaries and secretory parts of certain glands

12
Q

Columnar

A

Y’all and rectangular, they line the ducts, digestive tract (mainly intestinal and stomach lining), parts of the respiratory tract, and glands

13
Q

Simple

A

One cell layer, found in capillaries, in the lungs, and in the loop of Henle in the kidney tubules

14
Q

Stratified

A

More than one layer of cells, lines our mouth and throat and as the outer surface of our skin

15
Q

Pseudostratified

A

Several layers, all cells extend from the basement membrane to the outer surface or free surface of the cells, found in the throat, trachea, and bronchi of the lungs

16
Q

Transitional

A

Several layers of closely packed, flexible and easily stretched cells, lines the pelvis of the kidney, the ureters, the urinary bladder, and the upper part of the urethra

17
Q

Mucous membranes

A

Protects, absorbs nutrients, and secretes mucus, enzymes, and bile salts

18
Q

Glandular

A

Forms glands, there are 2 types:

Exocrine and Endocrine

19
Q

Exocrine glands

A

Glands allow external secretion onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities

20
Q

Endocrine glands

A

Ductless glands they secrete hormones which are carried by blood to target organs

21
Q

Endothelium

A

Lines the circulatory system with a single layer of squamous type cells

22
Q

Mescothelium

A

Also called serous tissue lines the cavities of the body that have no opening to the outside
