EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Functions of the Epithelial Tissue
- Protection (skin)
- Absorption (stomach)
- Filtration and Excretion (kidneys)
- Secretion (gland)
- Sensory Perception (nerves)
Squamous
- Flat and scale-like
Simple Squamous: a single layer and flat, forms a solid layer of cells which line blood vessels and organs, filtration and diffusion
Stratified Squamous: multiple layers, thick and flat with waves, forms the epidermis, provides protection
Cuboidal
- Cube shaped
Simple Cuboidal: lines the ducts in the kidneys and glands, responsible for reabsorption and secretion, made of a single layer and is cube shaped
Stratified Cuboidal: multiple layers, thick and cube-shaped
Columnar
- Tall, elongated cells
Simple Columnar: are tall and elongated, one cell and is thick, lines the digestive tract, responsible for reabsorption and secretion
Stratified Columnar: multiple layers of cells, very rare, found in the pharynx and larynx
Pseudostratified Columnar: tall elongated cells with cilia, it lines the body's passage ways, secretion
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Functions of the Connective Tissue
- Connect, bind, and support structures
- Protect/ cushion organs and tissues
- The extracellular matrix can bear weight, stretch, and take abuse
- Adipose insulates and stores fat while blood transports substances
- Bones provide framework/protection
Types of Connective Tissue
Cartilage: 1.) Hyaline 2.) Elastic 3.) Fibrocartilage
Dense Connective: irregular, runs in many different directions
Loose Connective: Three types of loose connective tissue
1.) Areolar
2.) Adipose
3.) Reticular
Blood: has a matrix, blood/plasma, that surrounds the
blood.MUSCULAR TISSUE
Types of Muscular Tissue
long strands
Smooth Tissue : along organ walls and blood vessel walls, moves blood, throughout body, involuntary,
and striated
Cardiac Tissue: found in the heart, synchronizes heart beat, involuntary, and branch-like
NERVOUS TISSUE
Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue is web-like.
Best Type of Tissue
The Nervous System
