Epithelial tissue does what? | Protects, absorbs, filters, and secretes. Lines glandular tissue of the body |
Apical means | The exposed surface or free side not touching other cells |
One layer of cells | Simple |
Epithelial tissue is avasuclar meaning it has | No blood supply |
Many layers of cells | Stratified |
Flat cells | Squamous |
Cube-shaped cells | Cuboidal |
column shaped cells | Columnar |
How are epithelial cells named? | Number of layers and Shape |
Simple Squamous Epithelium is found... | Air sacks of lungs, capillary walls, and lines arteries and body cavitites |
Simple cuboidal Epithelium is found... | In glands and ducts. Tubes of the body. |
Psudostratified Columnar Epithelium is found... | Respiratory tract to abosorb and secrete, often cilliated |
Simple Columnar Epithelium is found... | Respritory and digestive system open to the outside mucus membranes. |
What are the four types of stratified epithelia? | Stratified Sqamous, Stratified cuboidal and columnar, Trasitional, and Glandular Epithelium |
Where is stratified Squamous Epithelium found? | Most common form in the body, High friction areas such as hands and mouth |
Where is Strtified transitional epithelium is found? | Only in the Urinary system, bladder, to stretch and retract |
Where is Glandular Epithelium found? | In the endocrine and exocrine gland |
What are the types of connectie tissue? | Bone, Cartilage, Dense Connctive, Loose Connective, Areolar, and Adipose |
What is the most common tissue in the body? | Connective tissue |
Bone | Used for protection and support |
Cartilage | Softer, few blood vessels, repair is difficult, flexable |
Dense connective tissue | Tendons, ligaments, stretchy tough tissue |
Hyaline Cartilage | Forms fetus bone structure and spinal discs |
What are the Loose Connective tissues | Areolar, adipose, and blood |
Adipose tissue is also known as | Fat, with its giant vacuoles |
Areaolar Tissue | Holds your face in place with collogen and elastic fibers |
What are the three muscle tissues | Skeletal muscle, cardiac tissue, smooth muscle tissue |
This tissue supports voluntary movement and is multinucleated | Skeletal muscle |
Only found in one organ of the body and is responsible for involutary movemen | Cardiac muscle |
Involutary movements throughout the body | Smooth muscle |
The muscles in the eye, intestines, and uterus | Smooth muscle |
Striated muscle tissue with intercalated disks | Cardiac tissue |
Straited multinucleated tissue | Skeletal muscle |
Synonym for neurons | Nerves |
Transport electrochemical signals | Neurons |
Support nerves | Gleal or supporting cells |
Mylin sheeth | a type of gleal cells that speeds up the nerves signal. |
