A | B |
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHLIUM | Single layer of flat cells / Usually forms membranes - Lines body cavities / Lines lungs and capillaries. |
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM | Single layer of cube-like cells / Common in glands and their ducts . Forms walls of kidney tubules / Covers the ovaries |
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM | Single layer of tall cells / Often includes goblet cells, which produce mucus / Lines digestive tract |
stratified squamous epithelium | Functions as a protective covering where friction is common Locations: lining of the mouth, skin, esophagus |
stratified cuboidal epithelium | Two layers of cuboidal cells Functions in protection Rare in human body Found mainly in ducts of large glands |
TISSUES | Groups of cells with similar structure and function |
Epithelium, Connective tissue, Nervous tissue, Muscle | Name the four primary types of body tissues. |
Body coverings, body linings, glandular tissue | Where are epithelial tissues found? |
Epithelium | Cells fit closely together / Tissue layer always has one free surface / Lower surface is bound by a basement membrane / Avascular (no blood supply) / Regenerate easily |
COLUMNAR | columnlike shape of epithelium |
CUBOIDAL | cube shape of epithelium |
SQUAMOUS | flattened shape of epithelium |
STRATIFIED | multiple layers of epithelium tissue |
SIMPLE | single layer of epithelium tissue |
stratified columnar epithelium | Surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape Functions in protection Rare in human body Found mainly in ducts or large glands |
- protection - absorption - filtration - secretion | What are the functions of epithelial tissue? |
To protect, support, insulate, and bind other tissues of the body. EX: bones are composed of connective tissue (osseous or bone tissue) and they protect and support other body tissues and organs. | What is the primary function of connective tissue? |
areolar connective tissue | A soft packaging material that cushions and protects body organs. |
adipose tissue | Provides insulation for body tissues and a source of stored energy. |
skeletal, cardiac, smooth | 3 Types of muscle tissue |
neurons | nerve cells |
FIBROUS | type of connecting material for protection, support, padding, and filtration. |
SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE | TYPE OF TISSUE THAT IS STRIATED AND VOLUNTARY |
SMOOTH MUSCLE TISSUE | TYPE OF TISSUE THAT IS NONSTRIATED, INVOLUNTARY, OR VISCERAL |
CARDIAC MUSCLE TISSUE | TYPE OF TISSUE THAAT IS STRIATED INVOLUNTARY |
SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE | MOVES MUSCLE THAT ATTACHES TO BONES, EYE MUSCLES, AND THE FIRST PART OF SWALLOWING |
CARDIAC MUSCLE TISSUE | CAUSES HEART MUSCLE CONTRACTION |
