Term Definition
4 tissue types Epithelium, Connective, Muscle, Nervous
Types of Epithelium tissue simple squamous, stratified squamous, simple cuboidal, pseudostratified columnar, transitional
Types of Connective Tissue dense regular connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, bone
Types of Muscle Tissue skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Simple Squamous epithelium single layer of flattened cells (most basic type of epithelium). allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration
Simple Squamous epithelium air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels, lining of ventral cavity
Stratified Squamous epithelium thick membrane with several cell layers, surface cells can contain keratin. protects underlying tissues in areas that can be rubbed or injured
Stratified Squamous epithelium Non-Keratinized form lining of esophagus, mouth and vagina. Keratinized form epidermis of skin
Simple Cuboidal epithelium single layer of cube-like cells. Secretion and absorption
Simple Cuboidal epithelium Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory parts of small glands, surface of ovary
Simple Columnar Epithelium single layer of tall cells. some have cilia for motlity of substances over the surface of cell. Absorption. secretion of mucus, enzymes. ciliated type propel mucus
Simple Columnar Epithelium non ciliated line digestive tract, gallbladder. Ciliated type line small bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium single layer of cells of differing heights, nuclei look like at different levels. Secretion of mucus and propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium non ciliated type in ducts of large glands, male urethra. Ciliated line trachea and upper respiratory tract
Transitional Epithelium similar to stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal epithelium. Basal cells are cuboidal or columnar. Surface cells are dome-shaped depending on amount of organ stretch. Stretches and permits distension of bladder
Transitional Epithelium lines the ureters, bladder, and urethra
