Epithelial Tissue

QuestionAnswer
where is simple squamous located? wherever rapid diffusion or filtration take place.
Where is stratified squamous located? surface of skin, lining of mouth & throat
Where is simple cuboidal located? glands, ducts, portions of kidney tubules
Where is stratified cuboidal located? lining of some passage ways that carry fluids (ducts) - RARE
Where is simple columnar located? Throughout body's organ systems (digestive & reproductive), nasal passage, buccal cavity, and eyes.
Where is stratified columnar located? salivary glands (cell lining protects the salivary duct) & vans deferens (protects and aids in secretion of glands intestinal lining
Where is pseudostratified ciliated columnar located? mainly in tracheal and bronchial regions & fallopian tubes
Where is transitional located? lining of urinary tract & ureter
What is the function of simple squamous? reduces friction, controls vessel permeability, & performs absorption and secretion
What is the function of stratified squamous? provides physical protection against abrasion
What is the function of simple cuboidal? limited protection, secretion and/or absorption
What is the function of stratified cuboidal? protection
What is the funtion of simple columnar? main function to protect against bacteria and surface damage, sensory input, & absorbing and transporting nutrients
What is the function of stratified columnar? secretion & protection
What is the function of Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar? secretes mucous to form a mucosal layer & propels mucous away from the lungs to protect from causing protection
What is the function of transitional? elasticity; stretch & retract
Characteristic of ET - Avascular No blood vessels, obtains 02 nutrients from diffusion
Structure of Basement Membrane - Basal Lamina layer closest to the cells, rapid diffusion
Structure of Basement Membrane - Reticular Lamina layer furthest from cells, anchorage
CELLS - nucleus info & coordination, position dependent on tissue type
CELLS - Interfacial Canal space between cells, chem communication, diffusion
CELLS - Microvilli or Cilia finger like projections that increase surface area for absorption or tiny hairs for movement
FUNCTIONS - Protections/Lining cavities, organs
FUNCTIONS - Regulation cell communication, homeostasis
FUNCTIONS - Permeability diffusion of waster & nutrients, absorption and excretion
CLASSIFICATION - Cell Shape (squamous) round
CLASSIFICATION - Cell Shape (cuboidal) cube-like, rounded edges
CLASSIFICATION - Cell Shape (columnar) tall, vertical rectangles
CLASSIFICATION - # of cell layers simple (one) stratified (more than one)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
