Name the two types of cell layers |
Simple Stratified |
|
|
Name some characteristics of squamous epithelia |
Smooth fish scale cells Line lungs and blood vessels |
|
|
Name some characteristics of stratified squamous epithelial |
Layers of cells Line mouth and skin |

|
Simple Cuboidal epithelia are where and do what? |
Line the kidneys tubules but provide minimal protection |
|
|
What are glandular epithelia |

Supportive connective tissue is what? |
Cartilage, hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic Bones - compact bone and cancellous bone |
|
|
Name 2 types of fluid connective tissue |
Blood and lymph |
|
|
What is adipose tissue? |
Tissue that consists of fat cells |
|
|
What is reticular tissue? |
Made up of fibers that provide a supportive framework for soft organs |
|

Collagenous fibers that are interwoven into a mesh like network |
|
|
Name 3 types of cartilage |
Hyaline Elastic Fibrocartilage |
|
|
Name 4 types of membranes |
Mucous - lines passageways Serous - thin around organs. Attaches organs to body Cutaneous - skin. Thick and waterproof Synovial - joints |
