Nonglandular, single-layered epithelial tissues
What are simple epithelial tissues?
Nonglandular, many-layered epithelial tissues
What are stratified epithelial tissues?
A thin layer of plate-like cells
What are simple squamous epithelial cells?
The tissue that contains more than one layer of epithelial cells
What is stratified epithelium?
Epithelial tissue with more than one layer of plate-like cells
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
Ductless glands that empty their secretory products directly into the bloodstream
What are endocrine glands?
Duct-having glands that empty their secretory products on an epithelial surface
What are exocrine glands?
Single-layered plate-like cells that are equal in all dimensions
What are simple cuboidal epithelial cells?
Single-layered cylindrical epithelial cells that sometimes have cilia
What are simple columnar epithelial cells?
Epithelial tissue composed of more than one layer of cylindrical cells
What is stratified columnar epithelium?
Special chemicals produced by ductless glands
What are hormones?
Small, hair-like structures that extend from the cells surface and can sometimes help the cell move
What are cilia?
The descriptor for a gland with a tube-like secretory portion
What is tubular?
The descriptors for glands with secretory portions that resemble grapes or hollow balls, respectively
What is alveolar or acinar?
The most common gland type (It can pass its secretory products through the cell membrane without damaging it)
What is the merocrine gland?
The epithelial cells that form the outer layer of the skin, and are found lining the start of the digestive tract to the stomach
What are stratified squamous epithelial cells?
Single-layered, cylindrical cells that give the appearance of having more than one layer
What are pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells?
The two mechanisms maintaining homeostasis in the body
What are humoral control and nervous control?
Epithelial cells that are specialized for secretion or excretion
What are glandular epithelial cells?
Epithelial tissue that allows an organ to stretch without rupture (It can also alter its number of layers depending on the emptiness/fullness of the organ)
What is transitional epithelium?
The body structures lined with single-layered, plate-like cells
What are body cavities, blood vessels, and organs in the abdomen and thorax?
The body structures single-layered, cube-like epithelial cells are found in
What are ducts and passageways in the kidneys?
The tract that single-layered, cylindrical cells line
What is the digestive tract?
The layers of the skin from deep to superficial
What are the basal layer, the parabasal layer, the intermediate layer, and the superficial layer?
The organs that the layer-changing epithelial tissue is found
What are the urinary bladder and ureters?
