|---|
| 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 |
| ABSORPTION | The process by which fluids or other substances are taken up by body tissues. |
| SECRETION | production and release of a useful substance by a gland or cell |
| HYALINE | the most common of the three types of cartilage--type of connective tissue found in areas such as the nose, ears, and trachea of the human body |
| ADIPOSE | a specialized connective tissue consisting of lipid-rich cells called adipocytes |
| OSSEOUS | The major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body which forms the rigid part of the bone organs that make up the skeletal system. |
| EPITHELIAL TISSUE | thin tissues that cover all the exposed surfaces of the body |
| CONNECTIVE TISSUE | a fibrous type of body tissue with varied functions; it supports and connects internal organs, forms bones and the walls of blood vessels, attaches muscles to bones, and replaces tissues of other types following injury. |
| NERVE TISSUE | found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. |
| MUSCLE TISSUE | composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts |
| LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE | found between many organs where it acts both to absorb shock and bind tissues together |
| DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE | found in tendons & ligaments, made up of of a group or bundle of dense, robust, and large collagen fibers that hold the tissue and provide strength |
| MACROPHAGE | specialised cells involved in the detection, phagocytosis and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms |
| PHAGOCYTES | type of cell that has the ability to ingest, and sometimes digest, foreign particles, such as bacteria, carbon, ETC. |
| FIBROCARTILAGE | strongest of the connective tissues; it is found in regions of the body that experience large amounts of stress and movement |
| avascular | lacks good blood supply |
| vascular | has a good blood supply |
| extracellular matrix | Cells of the connective tissue are suspended in a non-cellular matrix that provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells. |
| fibroblast | A type of cell found in connective tissue that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen. |
| collagen, elastic, reticular | 3 types of fibers in connective tissue |
| Collagen fibers | strongest and most abundant of all the connective tissue fibers. |
| Elastic Fibers | long, thin fibers that form branching network in the extracellular matrix. They help the connective tissue to stretch and recoil. |
| Reticular Fibers | short, fine collagenous fibers that can branch extensively to form a delicate network. |
| matrix | Ground substance + fibers. The "stuff" between the cells. Often determines the function of the tissue. |
| blast | affix meaning immature cell |
| adiopocytes | Cells in connective tissue that store energy as fat. Insulate and protect. |
| osteoblasts | cells found in bone connective tissue |
| chondroblasts | cells found in cartilage connective tissue |
| adipose tissue | made up of large fat-filled cells that store energy, insulate, and protection via padding |
| osseous | The major structural and supportive connective tissue from which bones are made. |
| areolar | the type of tissue which connects and surrounds different organs in the human body. The important function of this type of tissue is that it provides nutrition to the cells and also acts as a cushion to protect the organs from various external forces. |
| adipose | known as fat tissue or fatty tissue, is a connective tissue that is mainly composed of fat cells |
| GOBLET CELLS | type of epithelial cell, which serves as the primary site for nutrient digestion and mucosal absorption |
