Epithelial Tissue
Three shapes of epithelial cells
What are squamous, cuboidal, and columnar?
What type of tissue binds you together?
connective tissue
3 types of muscle tissue
What are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth?
attached to bones
What is skeletal muscle?
Who is someone that studies tissues?
histologist
This is where the epithelial tissue attaches to another type of tissue.
basement membrane
What are the four types of connective tissue?
Connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood
involuntary, not striated
What is smooth muscle?
found in the heart
cardiac muscle
What are the four types of tissues?
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
What are 3 functions of epithelial tissue?
absorption, secretion, and protection
What is the extracellular matrix made of?
ground substance and fibers
voluntary, striations, many peripheral nuclei
What is skeletal muscle?
found in the brain and spinal cord
What is nervous tissue?
3 main parts of a neuron
What are dendrites, cell body, and axon?
Where is epithelial tissue located?
covering and linings
What are the names of the nervous tissue cells?
Neurons and neuroglia cells
involuntary, branched cells, striated
What is cardiac muscle?
found in hollow organs
What is smooth muscle?
single layer of cube-shapted epithelial cells
What is simple cuboidal?
What are the 3 layers of epithelium and what is the difference between them?
simple - single layer
stratified - many layers
pseudostratified - single layer but gives the appearance of many layers
Two characteristics of nervous tissue.
What are excitability and conductivity?
has intercalated discs
What is cardiac muscle?
found in the top layer of the skin
What is epithelial tissue?
many layers of flat epithelial cells
What is stratified squamous?
