Study Notes

Epithelial Tissue

  • Transitional epithelium: allows stretching and expansion, found in urinary bladder and ureters
  • Columnar epithelium: absorbs and secretes substances, found in lining of digestive tract and respiratory tract
  • Pseudostratified epithelium: appears layered due to varying cell heights, found in respiratory tract and Bowman's glands

Connective Tissue

  • Fibroblasts: produce collagen and other fibers, involved in wound healing and tissue repair
  • Adipose/fat cells: store energy in the form of fat, found in subcutaneous tissue and around organs
  • Fibers: three types - collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers

Immune System

  • Plasma cells: produce antibodies, derived from B cells
  • Mast cells: involved in allergic reactions and inflammation

Muscular Tissue

  • Three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle

Nervous System

  • Part of the nervous system: brain

Tissue Types

  • Four basic types of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue

Cell Types

  • Macrophages: engulf and digest foreign particles and cellular debris

Cilia

  • Found in respiratory tract, helping to move mucus and debris out of the lungs

Simple Epithelium

  • Two types: simple squamous and simple cuboidal

Epithelial Tissue Functions

  • Protects underlying tissues, absorbs and secretes substances, and detects sensory stimuli
