The Four Types of Tissues
Name the four types of tissues.
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous Tissue.
What is the major function of epithelial tissue?
PROTECTION, Absorption, Secretion.
Cells are in a SOLID matrix, most rigid of all the tissues, supports body structures, attached to muscles
Bone (C.T.)
Striated, BRANCHED cells, with a single nucleus found ONLY in the heart
Cardiac M.T.
Histology is the study of what?
Tissues
The basement membrane is located where?
Between the epithelial and connective tissues.
Single layer of cube-shaped cells, that plays a role in secretion and absorption, lines the thyroid gland and covers the ovaries.
Simple cuboidal
Cells in a SOLID-GEL matrix, rigid, provides support, lacks a direct blood supply so healing is slow, found at the ends of bones and in your nose
Hyaline Cartilage
Long, striated cells with many nuclei, attached to bones, controlled by CONSCIOUS/VOLUNTARY effort
Skeletal M.T.
This type of tissue has had its looks compared to a tree trunk
Bone (C.T.)
DAILY DOUBLE: Which type of tissue is in CONTROL of all of the other types of tissue? *Not on test
This tissue is made up of many layers of cells, tissues are THICK, cells near the surface are flattened the most. Found in the outer layer of skin.
Stratified Squamous E.T.
Cells are in a FLUID-GEL matrix, AKA FAT, lies beneath the skin where it cushions joints, insulates, and stores energy.
Adipose C.T. (FAT)
Cells have cytoplasmic extensions, found in the brain and spinal cord and can sense changes in its surroundings and respond
Nervous tissue
This type of tissue has been compared to looking like cobblestone or bubbles
Adipose (C.T.)
What are tissues?
A group of cells working together to perform a certain function
Single layer of elongated cells, with nuclei near the basement membrane, can be ciliated or non-ciliated, secretes digestive fluids, and absorbs nutrients from digested foods.
Simple Columnar E.T.
Cells are in a FLUID matrix, Consists of RBCs/WBCs/Platelets/Plasma, transports gases and fights infections
Blood
Short, spindle-shaped cells with a central nucleus, controlled involuntarily, comprises the walls of hollow internal organs including blood vessels. It is found in the stomach and intestines.
Smooth M.T.
Under the microscope, this type of tissue has had its looks compared to Bamboo or sugar cane.
Skeletal M.T.
Divide your board into four squares Draw ONE tissue from each of the 4 types of tissue. Make sure to identify each by name.
Answers will vary
Single layer of thin flattened cells, lines the air sacs of the lungs, functions in diffusion and osmosis
Simple Squamous E.T.
Cells in a FLUID-GEL matrix, Strong, can withstand pulling forces, binds body parts together, make-up tendons and ligaments.
Dense C.T.
Two of the three types of muscle tissue have a "striped" appearance. What is the technical term for these stripes?
Striations
When viewed from the side, this tissue's looks can be compared to a pancake
Simple Squamous E.T.
