17 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 simple squamous epithelium | found in air sacs in lungs, allows diffusion, |
| simple cubodial epithelium | found in kidneys, allows diffusion, absorption and secretion |
| simple columnar epithelium | found in lining of stomach, allows complex absorption and secretion, secretes mucus, occasionally has cilia |
| stratified squamous epithelium | found in skin, provides protection/barrier, top layer of cells in dead (keratinized) |
| moist stratified squamous epithelium | found in mouth, has un-keratinized surface cells, secretes mucus |
| stratified transitional epithelium | found in bladder, provides protection but is able to stretch, has more layers when relaxed and is thinner when stretched |
| pseudostratified epithelium | found in airway of lungs, secretes mucus, traps dirt, uses cilia to remove dust |
| loose connective tissue | connects skin to underlying muscle, performs light duty binging, aka hypodermis |
| dense irregular connective tissue | found in capsules around organs, has strength but stretches in all directions, aka dermis |
| adipose tissue | found in mammary glands and under the skin for insulation, allows energy storage and provides insulation |
| dense regular connective tissue | found in ligaments and tendons, provides tensile strength |
| hyaline cartilage | found on the bride of the nose, is resilient but firm |
| fibrocartilage | found in the joints between the vertebrae in the spine, provides tough binding and cushioning |
| elastic cartilage | found in the outer ear, provides flexible support |
| serous membranes | found surrounding the heart and abdominal intestines, secrete lubricating fluid to prevent friction |
| mucous membranes | found in body parts that open to the inside and outside of the body (ie: mouth, respiratory tract, reproductive tract, etc), provide protection |
| synovial membranes | found in moveable joints, secrete a fluid which allows the bones to move, lubricate hyaline cartilage |
