Tissue
Structures made out of similar cells that provide specific functions
Lines body cavities and covers the body’s external surface
Epithelium
Pumps blood, flushes urine out of the body, allows one to swing a bat
muscular
transmits waves of excitation
Nervous
Anchors and packages body organs
Connective
cells may absorb, protect, or form a filtering membrane
Epithelium
most involved in regulating body functions quickly
nervous
major function is to contract
Muscular
the most durable tissue type
muscular
abundant nonliving extracellular matrix
connective
forms nerves
nervous
What classifies epithelial tissue?
shape and layers
What type of epithelial tissue is found in skin?
stratified squamous
Where is ciliated epithelium found?
respiratory tubes
What role does ciliated epithelium play?
sweeps debris away
How does transitional epithelium differ from stratified squamous?
The cells are more rounded
How does the structural difference of transitional epithelium reflect in its function?
It is found in the bladder, which has to change its size often
Best suited for areas subject to friction
stratified squamous
propels substances across its surface
pseudostratisfied ciliated columnar
most suited for rapid diffusion
simple squamous
tubules of the kidney
simple cuboidal
lines much of the respiratory tract
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
stretches
transitional
lines the small and large intestines
simple columnar
lining of the esophagus
stratified squamous
lining of the bladder
transitional
alveolar sacs (air sacs) of the lungs
simple squamous
What is the makeup of the matrix in connective tissues?
protein fibers
How are the functions of connective tissue reflected in its structure?
the presence of a matrix that provides support, protection, and storage
Attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones
Dense fibrous connective tissue
forms your hip bone
Osseous Tissue (bone)
composes basement membranes; a soft packaging tissue with a jellylike matrix
areolar connective tissue
forms the larynx and the costal cartilages of the ribs
hyaline cartilage
firm matrix heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth
hyaline cartilage
matrix hard; provides levers for muscles to act on
osseous tissue (bone)
insulates against heat loss; provides reserve fuel
adipose connective tissue
makes up the intervertebral discs
fibrocartilage
