New cards

4 tissue types ECM

connective muscular epithelial nervous all tissues have cells and ECM which is ground substance and fibers

2
New cards

epithelial tissue characteristics

mainly cells not ECM tightly packed avascular basement membrane attachment polarity makes continuous layers

3
New cards

epithelial polarity

apical or basal basement membrane connective tissue

4
New cards

cell junctions

tight adhering desmosomes hemidesmosome gap

5
New cards

tight

blocks passage between cells

6
New cards

adhering

holds cells together

7
New cards

desmosomes

very strong spot attachment

8
New cards

hemidesmosome

connects cell and basement membrane
