What are the four major types of tissue? |
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous |
|
Function of Epithelial Tissue |
Covers & protects body surface, lines body cavities, specializes in moving substances into/out of blood, and forms many glands |
|
Function of Connective Tissue |
supports body,connects & holds body together, transports substances through the body |
|
Function of Muscle Tissue |
produces movement |
|
Function of Nervous Tissue |
communication between various parts of the body and integration of their activities |
|
Epithelial Cell type: Squamous |
thin, flat cells that look like fish scales |
|
Epithelial Cell type: Cuboidal |
cube-shaped cells, have more cytoplasm |
|
Columnar Cell type: Columnar |
basement cells of body, long and structural |
|
Cellular Organization: Simple |
only has one layer |
|
Cellular Organization: Stratified |
has multiple layers |
|
Cellular Organization: Pseudostratified |
has appearance of layering but is only one layer |
|
Simple Squamous (Location) |
air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels |
|
Simple Cuboidal (Location) |
in ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules |
|
Simple Columnar (Location) |
ciliated: bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus smooth: digestive tract, bladder |
|
Pseudostratified Columnar (Location) |
lines the trachea and much of the respiratory tract (ciliated) |
|
Stratified Squamous (Location) |
esophagus, mouth, vagina |
|
Transitional (Location) |
lines the bladder, urethra, and the ureters |
|
Simple Squamous (Function) |
Filtration, diffusion, osmosis |
|
Simple Cuboidal (Function) |
Secretion and absorption |
|
Simple Columnar (Function) |
Absorption and secretion |
|
Pseudostratified Columnar (function) |
Secretion and movement of mucous by ciliary action |
|
Stratified Squamous (function) |
protection |
|
Transitional (function) |
permits distention |
|
5 Basic Types of Connective Tissue |
fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, osseous tissue, blood |
|
Areolar Connective |
(location) between other tissues and organs (description) widely distributed, serve as universal packing material, support + binding of other tissues |
|
Reticular Connective |
(location) inner framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow filtration (description) similar to areolar, but only fibers are reticular fibers limited to inner frameworks |
|
Dense (Regular) Connective |
(location) tendons, ligaments (description) closely packed bundles of collagen fibers running in the same direction |
|
Dense (Irregular) Connective |
(location) deep fascia, dermis, scars, capsule of kidney (description) same as regular but collagen fibers are thicker and arranged irregularly |
|
Elastic Cartilage |
(location) external ear (description) elastic in nature to allow stretching |
|
Adipose Tissue |
(location) under skin, various padding at different points |
|
Hyaline Cartilage |
(location) part of nasal septum, articular surfaces of bone, larynx, rings in trachea + bronchi (description) most abundant cartilage, provides good shock absorption |
|
Fibrocartilage |
(locations) disks between vertebrae (description) blend of hyaline and dense regular compressible, resists tension well |
|
3 General Muscle Cell Types |
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth |
|
Striated Muscle Cells |
Skeletal, cardiac |
|
Nonstriated Muscle Cells |
smooth |
|
Voluntary Muscle Cells |
Skeletal |
|
Involuntary muscle cells |
Cardiac and Smooth |
|
Skeletal Muscle location |
attached to bones, attached to facial skin |
|
Cardiac muscle location |
walls of the heart |
|
Smooth muscle location |
walls of hallow internal structures; blood vessels, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, airways |
