Epithelial tissue is: The tissue that covers and protects the body surface, lines body cavities, specializes in moving substances into and out of the body or particular organs (secretion, excretion, and absorption), and forms many glands
Connective tissue is: The tissue that functions to support the body and its parts, connect and hold them together, transport substances through the body, and protect it from foreign invaders.
Muscle tissue is: The tissue that produces movement; it moves the body and its parts. Muscle cells are adapted for contractility and pro-duce movement by shortening or lengthening the contractile units found in cytoplasm
Nervous tissue is: The tissue that is the most complex tissue in the body. It specializes in communication among the various parts of the body and in integration of their activities
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) is: The fluid environment that fills the spaces between the cells of the body.
Cutaneous membrane is: The membrane that covers body surfaces that are exposed to the external environment.
Serous membranes is: The membrane that lines cavities that are not open to the external environment and covers many of the organs inside these cavities. Serous membranes are sometimes called by their Latin n
Mucous membranes is: The epithelial membranes that line body sur-faces opening directly to the exterior
Goblet cells are: Mucins cells that form a protective, sometimes lubricating blanket of gel. Have large, secretory vesicles that give them the appearance of a goblet.
Synovial membrane: Lining the spaces between bones and joints that move are classified as connective tissue membranes.
Simple squamous epithelium Consists of only one layer of flat, scalelike cells
Simple cuboidal epithelium Composed of one layer of cuboidal cells resting on a basement membrane
Simple columnar epithelium Composes the surface of the mucous membrane that lines the stomach, intestine, uterus, uterine tubes, and parts of the respiratory tract
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Found lining the air passages of the respiratory system and certain segments of the male reproductive system, such as the urethra
Stratified squamous epithelium Multiple layers of cells with typically flattened squamous cells at the free, or outer, surface of the epithelial sheet
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Stratified columnar epithelium Multiple layers of columnar cells, with only the most superficial cells being obviously columnar in appearance.
Transitional epithelium Stratified tissue typically found in body areas that are subjected to stress and tension changes, such as the wall of the urinary bladder
Glandular Epithelium Epithelium of the glandular type is adapted for secretory activity
Glandular epithelial cells that may function singly Unicellular glands
Glandular epithelial cells that may function in clusters, solid cords, or hollow follicles Multicellular glands
Discharge their secretion products into ducts. The salivary glands are typical exocrine glands. Exocrine glands
Often called ductless glands because they discharge their secretion products (hormones) directly into blood Endocrine glands
