| 1. forms cont. sheets; 2. basement membranes; 3. can regenerate; 4. avascular; 5. made of tightly packed cells | General Characteristics of Epithelium |
| Glandular Epithelium | Func: secretion |
| Glandular Epithelium | Three types |
| Merocrine | release fluid by exocytosis and are grouped as serous or mucus-producing (pancreas) |
| Mucus | thick, protective substance |
| Serous | watery fluid filled with enzymes |
| Apocrine | lose portions of cell bodies during secretion (mammary glands) |
| Hormone | release entire cells (sebaceous glands) |
| 1. Binds, supports, protects, framework, fills in spaces, stores fat, produces blood cells, protects against infection, repairs tissue damage; 2. abundant matrix, or intercellular material; 3. good blood supply | General Characteristics of Connective Tissues |
| Fibroblast | Large, star-shaped cell that secretes fibers and is fixed into position. |
