Simple Squamous Epithelium

100

Simple Squamous Epithelium Function

allows for rapid diffusion and filtration; secretion in serous membranes


- forms the lining of the air sacs of the lung bc it allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and inhaled air

Simple Squamous Epithelium Location

Air sacs in the lungs (alveoli)

lining of lumen of blood vessels and lymph vessels (endothelium)

serous membranes (mesothelium)

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium function

- Protection

- Secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along apical surface of epithelium by cilia

Elastic Cartilage

300

Location: Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, menisci of knee joints

Fibrocartilage

300

Fibroblasts squeezed between densely packed, parallel arrays of collagen fibers; scarce ground substance, limited blood vessels

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Location: Lining of urinary bladder, ureters, and part of urethra

Transitional Epithelium

400

Structure: stellate or spindle-shaped; ground substance is a viscous fluid with some immature protein fibers

Mesenchyme Embryonic Connective Tissue

400

What are the subtypes of Connective Tissue?

Connective Tissue Proper Loose (areolar, adipose, reticular)
