epithelial tissue 1
what is simple epithelium
single layered
what is stratified epithelium
2+ layers
name 3 functions of connective tissue
structural framework
transport
protects organs
supports surrounding tissue
stores energy
defense against invaders
where is adipose tissue found
fat pads
what is the purpose of synovial fluid
lubrication, decreasing friction in moving joints
cuboidal epithelium shape
cube/square
columnar epithelium shape
rectangular
2 types of fluid connective tissues
blood and lymph
name an example of cartilaginous tissue
hyaline cartilage in the tracheal rings
visceral vs parietal membrane
visceral: lines organs
parietal: lines body walls

secretion
absorption
excretion
squamous epithelium shape
thin, flat, rounded
2 types of supportive connective tissues

what is the difference between dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues?
dense regular: fibres are parallel, high tensile strength in one direction
dense irregular: fibres are random, high tensile strength in all directions
mucous membranes line:
organs, ducts, passageways
glandular epithelial tissues
secretory units (exocrine/endocrine)
membranous epithelial tissues
covers/lines parts of the body
classified based on shape
2 types of connective tissues proper
loose and dense
where is reticular connective tissue found
lymph organs, bone marrow, liver
where are synovial membranes located
lines spaces between joints
what is transitional epithelium and where is it located
stratified epithelium
stretches and changes shape
located in the bladder
what is pseudostratified epithelium and where is it found
single layer, appears as though it is multiple layers
located in the trachea
