Study Notes
Connective Tissue
- Characterized by having a lot of extracellular matrix: Connective tissue
- Provides structural support and flexibility to the body: Connective tissue
Epithelial Tissue
- Function of simple squamous epithelium: Allows for rapid exchange of molecules across surface
- Cell shape in simple cuboidal epithelium: Cube-shaped
- Main function: Forms lining of organs, glands, and other body surfaces, and provides protection and absorption
Connective Tissue Functions
- Main function: Provides structural support, connects and binds tissues, and stores energy
- Role of macrophages: Engulf and digest foreign particles and cellular debris
Cell Types
- Adipocytes: Commonly found in subcutaneous tissue, storing energy in the form of fat
- Location of pseudostratified epithelium: Respiratory tract, forms lining of airways
