Histology and Organ Anatomy Review Flashcards

A set of flashcards covering tissue types, organ functional units, and anatomical layers based on lecture notes and slide identifications.

Kidney Tubules

Structures in the Medull of Kidney composed of simple cuboidal epithelium, which functions in absorption and secretion.

Ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Tissue type found in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and trachea.

Skeletal Muscle

A tissue type that contains structures specifically identified as nuclei.

Eye Structures

The components of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, including the cornea, iris, ciliary body (muscle), lens, choroid, and retina.

Areolar Tissue

A tissue found in the papillary layer of the dermis containing fibroblasts, elastic fibers, and collagen fibers.

Alveoli (Lungs-aviola)

The functional unit of the lungs made of simple squamous epithelium to allow rapid diffusion.

Multipolar Neurons

Large cells found in the spinal cord, CNS, and brain.

GI Tract Layers

The layers including the mucosa (consisting of the lamina propria and simple columnar epithelium), submucosa layer, muscularis layer (with circular and longitudinal components), and serosa.

Intercalated Discs

Specialized structures found in the heart tissue.

Elastic Connective Tissue

Tissue type found in elastic arteries such as the Aorta, characterized by the presence of elastic fibers.

Dense Irregular Tissue

Tissue found in the reticular layer of the dermis of the skin.

Elastic Cartilage

Tissue type located in the ear and epiglottis responsible for maintaining shape while allowing extensibility.

Fibro cartilage

Tissue found in the pubic symphasis and in tro vertibras discs, functioning to resist compression.
