Study Notes
Epithelial Tissues
- Simple squamous epithelium is found in air sacs of the lungs, lining blood vessels and serous membranes of body cavities.
- Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells resembling floor tiles with a single nucleus in the center of each.
- Simple squamous epithelium functions in rapid diffusion, filtration and some secretion.
- Stratified squamous epithelium is found lining the oral cavity, esophagus, vagina and anus (non-keratinized) as well as the epidermis of skin (keratinized).
- Stratified squamous epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells with apical cells being squamous.
- Stratified squamous epithelium functions in protecting underlying tissue.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is found lining kidney tubules and ducts of most glands.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is a single layer of cells that are as tall as they are wide.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium functions in absorption and secretion.
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium is found in large ducts of most exocrine glands.
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium consists of two or more layers of cells with cells at the apical surface being cuboidal.
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium functions in protection and secretion
- Simple columnar epithelium is found lining most of the digestive tract (non-ciliated) and lining the uterine tubes (ciliated).
- Simple columnar epithelium is comprised of a single layer of tall, narrow cells with an oval nucleus in the basal region.
- Simple columnar epithelium functions in absorption and secretion (non-ciliated).
- Simple columnar epithelium functions in secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along the apical surface of the epithelium via ciliary action (ciliated).
- Stratified columnar epithelium is rare and found in large ducts of some exocrine glands and some regions of the male urethra.
- Stratified columnar epithelium is comprised of two or more layers of cells with cells at the apical surface being columnar.
- Stratified columnar epithelium functions in protection and secretion.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is comprised of a single layer of cells with varying heights that appear multi-layered.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium functions in protection.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium also functions in the secretion of mucin and movement of mucus across the surface via ciliary action (ciliated).
Connective Tissues Proper
- Blood is a fluid connective tissue found within blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and the heart.
- Blood is comprised of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma (matrix).
- Blood functions in transporting gases, controlling the immune response, initiating blood clotting, and transporting nutrients, wastes, and hormones throughout the body.
- Areolar connective tissue is found in the subcutaneous layer and surrounding organs.
- Areolar connective tissue is comprised of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and ground substance.
- Areolar connective tissue functions in surrounding and protecting tissues and organs, loosely binding epithelium to deeper tissues, and providing nerve and blood vessel packing.
- Reticular connective tissue forms the stroma of lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.
- Reticular connective tissue is comprised of reticular fibers, and extracellular matrix.
- Reticular connective tissue functions in providing a supportive framework for the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, and bone marrow.
- Adipose connective tissue is found in the subcutaneous layer and covers and surrounds some organs.
- Adipose connective tissue is comprised of adipocytes with a nucleus squeezed to one side and a lipid vacuole (fat droplet).
- Adipose connective tissue functions in storing energy, protecting, cushioning and insulating.
Smooth Muscle
- Found in the walls of hollow internal organs: vessels, airways, stomach, bladder, and uterus.
- Muscle fiber (spindle-shaped) and nucleus (centrally located).
- Function: Involuntary movements and motion; moves materials through internal organs.
Skeletal Muscle
- Attached to bones or sometimes skin.
- Muscle fiber (long, cylindrical, unbranched), nuclei (multiple per fiber), and striations.
- Function: Moves the skeleton; responsible for voluntary body movements, locomotion, and heat production.
Cardiac Muscle
- Found in heart wall.
- Muscle fiber (short, branched), nucleus (one per cell), striations, and intercalated discs.
- Function: Involuntary contraction and relaxation; pumps blood in the heart.
