Types of Epithelial Tissue
Definition
  1. Simple Squamous
  2. Simple Cubiodal
  3. Simple Columnar
  4. Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar
  5. Stratified Squamous
  6. Transitional
Term
Simple Squamous
Definition
  • 1 layer
  • cells are squished
  • lining of lungs, blood vessels, heart
Term
Simple Cuboidal
Definition
  • 1 layer
  • cells form rings with free space inside
  • kidneys, ducts of many glands, surface or ovaries
Term
Simple Columnar
Definition
  • 1 layer
  • cells are lined up in rectangles, nuclei are aligned
  • intestines, ducts of many glands
Term
Pseudostratified Cilliated Columnar
Definition
  • 1 layer, appears to be more
  • hour glass shape, a little like the columnar
  • respiratory track, male reproductive system
Term
Stratified Squamous
Definition
  • more than 2 layers
  • protection
  • Skin, mouth, anus, esophagus, urethra
Term
Transitional
Definition
  • 1 layer
  • Protection, compression
  • Bladder ureters
Term
Epithelial Tissue
Definition
  • very little extra-cellular matrix
  • cover organs
  • form structures
  • has a free surface
  • has a basement membrane
Term
Dense Regular
Definition

straight fibers

make tendons and ligaments

keep bone from moving in unnecessary or bad directions

Term
Loose areolar
Definition

dermis of the skin

binds organs together

Term
adipose tissue
Definition

fat storage, insulation

in breasts and between skin

 

Term
dense irregular
Definition

fibers are random, still thicker than areolar

dermis of the skin, between muscles

Term
hyaline cartilage
Definition

cells in lacunae

in joints, reduces friction

looks like eyes

for support and protection

Term
fibrocartilage
Definition

dense, more visible fibers

cells in smaller lacunae lined up

in jaw and spine

Term
elastic cartilage
Definition

in nose and ears

helps with the abrasion

allowed to "bounce" back

Term
cancellous or spongy bone
Definition

looks like a sponge

designed for strength

bone marrow and the ends of bones

Term
compact
Definition

no spaces

rings called the osteon system

in all bones

for support and protection

Term
fluid matrix
Definition

blood

in bone marrow, veins and arteries

Term
cardiac striated
Definition

heart

branced to wrap around heart, split to keep the electrical signals from making the heart explode

 

Term
skeletal muscle
Definition

striated

attached to the skeleton

arrangement of myosin and actin allow for strong contractions

Term
smooth muscle
Definition

spindle-shaped cells

allow for massage-like contractions to digest food

in the esophagus and intestines

Term
multipolar neuron
Definition

has multiple dendrites to recieve signals

cell body processes the info

sends it down the axon, the myelin sheath allows the signals to be sent

axon endings give off the signals

located everywhere- especially off of the brain and spine

conducts nerve impulses
