Epithelial Tissue
Definition
cover surface of body and decide which substances enter and exit the body. includes glandular tissue.
Term
Simple Epithilium
Definition
one thick cell layer.
Term
Squamous epithilium(SIMPLE)
Definition
flattened cells in lungs and capillaries.
Term
Cuboidal Epithilium(SIMPLE)
Definition
Lines ducts in our bodies sometimes secrets enzymes.
Term
columnar epithilium (SIMPLE)
Definition
provides secretion functions and absorption, protects digestive tract.
Term
Stratified epithilium
Definition
complex, several layers thick, base of skin where cell division happens. top layer dead.

Glandular Epithilium(SIPMLE)
Definition
secrete to ducts in mammary, salivary, sweat glands
Term
Pseudostratified epithelium
Definition
lines inside of lungs, makes mucus. One layer.
Term
Immune Connective tissue
Definition
white blood cells that flow through the body in the bloodstream. strongest defenses of the body. travel in plasma.

Fibrous Connective Tissue
Definition
common. secrete strong proteins in spaces between cells.
Term
Cartilage(FIBROUS)
Definition
Firm Flexible tissue of great strength. nose,ears,joints,

Bone(FIBROUS)
Definition
Similar to cartilage but covered in calcium phosphate making it rigid on outside. inside is spongy (marrow)

erythrocytes
Definition
red blood cells; carried in plasma
carry oxygen and carbon dioxide
Term
Plasma
Definition
substance by which blood cells move.
