| Tissue | a group of cells performing a specialized structural or functional role. |
| epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous | Name the four major types of tissue found in the human body. |
| Simple squamous epithelium | Found in the walls of capillaries; it functions to allow the exchange of oxygen and waste products between the blood and the cells. |
| Simple cuboidal epithelium | Found in kidney tubules; it functions |
| Simple columnar epithelium | Found in the intestinal tract; it functions in secretion of digestive fluids and absorption of nutrient molecules. |
| Psuedostratified columnar epithelium | Found in the passages of the respiratory system; the ciliated free surface moves the mucous produced by goblet cells up the respiratory |
| Stratified squamous epithelium | Forming the outer layer of the skin (epidermis); it becomes hardened with keratin and makes a tough, dry, protective covering. |
| Stratified cuboidal epithelium | Found in the larger ducts of salivary glands; it provides extra protection. |
| Stratified columnar epithelium | Found in the male urethra; the goblet cells provide mucous for lubrication. |
| Transitional epithelium | Forming the inner lining of the urinary bladder; because of its stretchable nature, it forms a barrier that prevents the contents of the urinary tract from diffusing back into the body fluids. |
| Glandular epithelium | composed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids |
| Exocrine | type of glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto an internal or external surface. |
| Endocrine | type of glands that secrete directly into tissue fluid or blood. |
| mucus | thick liquid rich in glycoprotein |
| Gland | composed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances. Most commonly these cells are columnar or cuboidal epithelium. |
| simple cuboidal, simple columnar, simple squamous | three types of epithelial cell that functions in absorption |
| simple squamous | type of epithelial cells that line capillaries. Function in exchange of oxygen and wastes |
| simple cuboidal | type of epithelial cells found in kidney tubules. Function in secretion and absorption |
| simple columnar | type of epithelial cells found in intestinal tract. Functions in secretion of digestive fluids |
| ciliated pseudostratified columnar | type of epithelial cell found in passages of respiratory system. functions to move mucous up respiratory tract |
| stratified squamous epithelium | type of epithelial cell found on outer layer of skin - function protection |
| stratified cuboidal | type of epithelial cell found in larger ducts of salivary glands - functions in extra protection |
| transitional | type of epithelial cell found in inner lining of the urinary bladder - function protection keeps contents from diffusing back into the body fluids |
| glandular | type of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids |
| simple squamous epithelium | type of epithelial tissue whose function is to filter |
| simple squamous epithelium | type of epithelial tissue whose function is to carry out diffusion |
| simple squamous epithelium | epithelial tissue whose location is lining the walls of blood vessels & lungs |
| simple cuboidal epithelium, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar epithelium, stratified columnar epithelium, and glandular epithelium | Name 5 epithelial tissue types whose function is secretion |
| simple cuboidal epithelium and simple columnar epithelium | Name 2 epithelial tissue types whose function is absorption |
| simple cuboidal epithelium | epithelial tissue whose location is on some glands, ovaries & kidneys |
| simple columnar epithelium and simple cuboidal epithelium | Name 2 types of epithelial tissue whose function is absorption |
| simple columnar epithelium, pseudostratified columnar epithelium, stratified cuboidal epithelium, and stratified columnar epithelium | Name 4 types of epithelial tissue whose function is protection |
