Chapter 4: Epithelial and Connective Tissues
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Epithelial tissues | Forms boundaries |
| Types of epithelia tissues | Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar, stratified squamous, and transitional |
| Simple squamous | Single layer of flattened cells |
| Simple cuboidal | Single layer of cube-like cells |
| Simple columnar | Single layer of tall cells |
| Pseudostratified columnar | Single layer of cells of differing heights |
| Stratified squamous | Several layers of flattened cells |
| Transitional | Several layers of flattened and cube-like cells |
| Lung | Example of simple squamous |
| Thyroid | Example of simple cuboidal |
| Colon | Example of simple columnar |
| Trachea | Example of pseudostratified columnar |
| Skin | Example of stratified squamous |
| Ureter or bladder | Example of transitional |
| Connective tissues | Supports, connects, and bonds tissues |
| Three types of connective tissues | Connective tissue proper, cartilage, and bone |
| Three types of connective tissue proper | Loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue) and dense connective tissue (dense regular) |
| Tissue containing elastic fibers and collagen fibers | Areolar connective tissue |
| Tissue containing lipid-filled vacuoles and nuclei | Adipose tissue |
| Tissue containing nuclei of fibroblasts and collagen fibers (can be found in the tendon) | Dense regular connective tissue |
| Three types of cartilage | Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage |
| Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae and a matrix (can be found in the trachea) | Hyaline cartilage |
| Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae and elastic fibers (can be found in the ear and epiglottis) | Elastic cartilage |
| Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae (can be found in the intervertebral discs of the spine and menisci) | Fibrocartilage |
| Tissue containing an osteon, central canal, and canaliculi) | Bone |
