Study Notes
Salivary Glands
- Provide mechanical support to the oral cavity and facilitate the process of digestion.
Columnar Epithelial Tissue
- Composed of tall, pillar-like cells that are well-suited for absorption and secretion.
- Predominantly located in the inner lining of the intestine, where it aids in nutrient absorption.
Ciliated Columnar Epithelial Tissue
- Characterized by the presence of cilia, which are hair-like projections that help in movement of substances.
- Found in various regions, including the respiratory tract, oviduct, and sperm duct, aiding in transportation of mucus and gametes.
Connective Tissue
- Functions to bind or connect different tissues and organs throughout the body, providing structural integrity.
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- Cells are loosely packed, allowing for flexibility and movement.
- Cells are living and embedded within an intercellular space known as the matrix, which provides support.
- Different types include:
- Bone Tissue: Notable for its strength; it is a rigid and non-flexible type of connective tissue, crucial for structural support.
