Histology
Which membrane produces serum-like, friction-reducing fluid that lines internal cavities and covers organs?
Serous membrane
Designed best for absorption, this type of tissue has cells arranged into convoluted finger-like projections that line the gastrointestinal system.
Simple columnar
Used for movement and transport
Muscular
Identify the most appropriate cell type for the function of diffusion of gasses.
Simple squamous
Simple squamous epithelium is best designed for_____
of gases such as in the alveoli of the lungs.
Diffusion
Designed for structural support
Connective
This type of tissue is designed with tough fibrous collagen layers made to join tough structure together.
Ligaments
Cutaneous tissue and cancer cells are similar in that they are both constantly:
Mitotic
Used for lining and protection
Epithelial
The side of the serous membrane that directly attaches to an organ is the
Visceral
This type of membrane is used for lubrication, for trapping and protection, and is found in many areas such as the digestive system and respiratory system.
Mucous membrane
Designed for communication and support
Nervous
Meaning "with egg consistency", the viscous fluid creates a friction-reducing surface.
Synovial membrane
Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium is found in the:
Fallopian tubes
Upper respiratory system
