Study Notes
Epithelial Tissues
- Simple Squamous: Single layer of flat cells; found in lungs and blood vessels; facilitates diffusion.
- Simple Cuboidal: Single layer of cube-shaped cells; found in kidneys and glands; involved in absorption and secretion.
- Simple Columnar: Single layer of column-shaped cells; lines the digestive tract; essential for absorption and secretion of mucus.
- Stratified Squamous: Multiple layers of flat cells; found in skin, mouth, and vagina; provides protection against abrasion.
- Stratified Cuboidal: Multiple layers of cube-shaped cells; found in ducts of sweat and mammary glands.
- Stratified Columnar: Multiple layers of column-shaped cells; found in pharynx and male urethra.
- Pseudostratified Columnar: Column-shaped cells with varying heights; lining of trachea and fallopian tubes; moves particles with cilia, secreting mucus.
- Transitional: Stratified tissue with a top layer that can change shape (squamous or dome-shaped); found in urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters; allows for stretching.
- Glandular: Clusters of columnar or cuboidal cells; found in pancreas and stomach; responsible for producing and secreting substances.
Connective Tissues
- Adipose: Loose connective tissue; stores fat; found beneath skin and muscles; energy storage.
- Loose Connective: Thin, delicate tissue; connects skin to organs and muscles; a supportive structure.
- Dense Connective: Thick, strong tissue; connects body parts (tendons and ligaments).
- Cartilage: Rigid tissue; provides support and protection; found in external ear.
- Bone: Rigid tissue; crucial for movement and protection; forms the skeleton.
- Blood: Liquid tissue; transports minerals; found in blood vessels.
Muscle Tissues
- Skeletal Muscle: Controls movement and facial expressions; voluntary muscle.
- Smooth Muscle: Short, single-nucleus cells; involuntary movement (e.g., digestive tract).
- Cardiac Muscle: Striated cells connected by intercalated discs; involuntary control; found in the heart.
Connective Tissue Fibers
- Collagenous: Thick threads of collagen; major component of ligaments and tendons.
- Elastic: Thin, elastin fibers; found in vocal cords.
- Reticular: Thin, collagenous fibers; provide delicate support for various tissues.
