Chapter 4
Simple Columnar
Absorption, Secretion, or ion transport
Muscle
Allows for movement of limbs and for organ movements within the body
Muscle
Allows you to smile, grasp, swim, ski, and throw a ball
Nervous
Basis of the major controlling system of the body
Epithelium
Cells of this tissue may absorb and / or secrete substances
Six special characteristics of epithelium
Cellularity, Polarity, Specialized Contracts, Avascular, Support by connective tissue, Regeneration
Connective
Characterized by having large amounts of extracellular material
Tubular Alveolar
Combination of gland shapes
Exocrine
Duct from this gland type carries secretions to target organ or location.
Simple Squamous
Endothelium and mesothelium
Exocrine
Examples are the liver, which produces bile, and the pancreas, which produces digestive enzymes
Endocrine
Examples are the thyroid and adrenal glands
Simple Alveolar
Flask-shaped gland, unbranched ducts
Epithelium
Forms endocrine and exocrine glands
Epithelium
Forms membranes
Nervous
Forms the brain and spinal cord
Endocrine
Glands secrete regulatory hormones directly into blood or lymph.
Pseudo stratified ciliated columnar
Lines much of the respiratory tract
Stratified Squamous
Lines the inside of the mouth
Transitional
Lines the inside of the urinary bladder
Simple Columnar
Lines the stomach and most of the intestines
Stratified Columnar
Pharynx and malurethria
Ciliated Epithelium
Propel sheets of mucus
Six major functions of epithelium
Protect surfaces, Secrete material, absorb material, contain fluids, provide friction, prevent pathogens
Stratified Squamous
Protection
Simple Tubular
Slender, straight gland, unbranched ducts
Endothelium
Small molecules pass through rapidly
Nervous
Uses electrochemical signals to carry out its functions
Connective
Widely distributed, found in bones, cartilages, and fat depots
Compound duct structure
branched ducts
Muscle
its cells shorten to exert force
Simple Cuboidal
line the kidney and ovaries and small glands
Exocrine
the more numerous of the two types of gland
Transitional
Stretches
Connective
Supports and reinforces body organs
Connective
Surrounds and Cushions body organs
