Tissue Types

Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
Groups of cells with similar structure and function Tissue
epithelial tissue location body coverings body linings glandular tissue
glandular tissue forms various glands in the body for secretion of sweat, oil, digestive, mucus
epithelial tissue function protection absorption filtration secretion
epithelial tissue hallmark cover and line body surfaces often form sheets with one free surface, the apical surface, and an anchored surface, the basement membrane avascular regenerate easily if well nourished
avascular no blood supply rely on diffusion from the capillaries in the underlying connective tissue for food and oxygen
apical surface exposed to the body's exterior or to the cavity of an internal organ exposed surfaces of some epithelial are slick and smooth but others have cilia or micro cilia
anchored surface rest on basement membrane
basement membrane a structurless material secreted by both the epithelial cells and the connective tissue cells deep to the epithelium the "glue"
classification # of cell layers shapes of cells
simple epithelium one layer of cells
stratified epithelium more than one cell layer
squamous cells scale ; flattened
cubical cells cube shaped
columnar cells column shaped
simple epithelial are most concerned w/ ..... absorption, secretion, and filtration very thin so protection is not one of their specialties
simple squamous single layer of thin squamous cells resting on a basement membrane fit closely together usually forms membranes where filtration or exchange of substances occur
simple squamous is located... in the air sacs of the lungs, capillaries, serous membranes
serous membranes slick membranes that line the ventral body cavity and cover the organs in that cavity
