Introduction to the Human Body
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| tissues | are group of cells that are similar to each other in structure and function |
| four types of tissues | epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular |
| histology | study of tissue |
| epithelial tissue | also called epithelium, forms large, continuous sheets, helps form the skin |
| and covers the entire outer surface of the body also line most of the inner cavities | |
| such as the mouth, respiratory tract, and reproductive tract | |
| simple squamous | walls of blood vessels(capillaries)alveoli (sacs in lungs |
| kidneyspermits the exchange of nutrients and wastes | |
| allows diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxidefiltration of water and electrolytes | |
| simple cuboidal | lining of kidney tubulesvarious glands |
| absorption of water and electrolytessecretion of enzymes and hormones | |
| simple columnar | digestive tractprotection, absorption and secretion of gastric |
| juices, often contains goblet cells (mucous) | |
| pseudostratified columnar | lining of respiratory tractlining of reproductive tubes (fallopian tubes) |
| protection and secretion; cleans respiratory passages; sweeps egg toward uterus | |
| stratified squamous | outer layer of skinlining of mouth, esophagus, anus, and vagina |
| protects body from invading microorganisms withstands friction | |
| transitional | urinary bladderpermits expansion of an organ |
| epithelial tissue | forms continuous sheets that fit together has two surfaces, one surface is unattached |
| basement membrane | is a very thin material that anchors the epithelium to the underlying tissue |
| glandular epithelium | function is secretion |
| gland | is made up of one or more cells that secrete a particular substance; much is composed of |
| simple cuboidal epithelium | |
| exocrine gland | have ducts or tiney tubes into which the exocrine secretions are released before |
| reaching the body surfaces or body cavities; include mucous, sweat, saliva, digestive enzymes; the ducts carry the exocrine secretions to surgace of skin | |
| endocrine glands | secrete hormones; do not have ducts and are called ductless glands, secreted directly into blood to their action sites |
| most abundant of tissues, widely distributed | |
