Histology   study of tissues  
🗑
Tissues   a group of cells that perform the same function  
🗑
4 major types of tissues   epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous  
🗑
basement membrane   the underside of epithelial tissue which connects to connective tissue  
🗑
Simple Squamous function   diffusion of gases, filtration  
🗑
Simple Squamous locations   lungs, aveoli, capillaries  
🗑
Simple Squamous description   single layer of irregular, thin, flattened cells  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal function   secretion and absorption of glandular products  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal locations   ovaries, ducts of salivary, thyroid glands, kidneys  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal description   single layer of cube like cells with a centrally located nucleus  
🗑
Simple Culumnar function   absorption of nutrients, secretes digestive fluids  
🗑
simple Culumnar locations   linings of digestive system, reproductive system  
🗑
simple culumnar description   long column like cells whose nuclei are found around basement membrane, have goblet cells mixed in between and microvilli  
🗑
Microvilli   function to increase surface area for absorption  
🗑
Goblet cell   flask liked shaped glandular cells which secrete protective mucus on tissue to trap dirt/ debris  
🗑
psuedostratified culumnar desription   appears to be layered but isn't, has cilia which extend from the free surface and move constantly, goblet cells mixed in  
🗑
psuedostratified culumnar function   move mucus, sex cells along  
🗑

🗑
transitional function   specialized to withstand tension of movement and barrier to prevent waste from diffusion  
🗑
transitional locations   lining of bladder, urinary system  
🗑
glandular epithelium   cells specialized to secrete and produce substances  
🗑
gland   one or more cells usually culumnar or cuboidal that secrete substances  
🗑
Endocrine glands   secrete into tissue fluid or blood, 3 types: merocrine, apocrine, holocrine  
🗑
holocrine   releases entire cells like sebaceous glands  
🗑
apocrine   loose small portions of cells, mammary glands  
🗑
merocrine   secrete fluis without loss of cytoplasm, pancreas, salivary  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
