A group of similar cells and extracellular material that perform certain functions
|
Tissue
|
Four Main Types of Tissue
|
Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous
|
Single Layer of thin, flat cells
|
Simple Squamous Epithilium
|
Rapid diffusion, filtration, and some secretion in serous membranes
|
Simple Squamous Epithilium
|
Air sacs in lungs, lining of lumen of lymph vessels and blood vessels
|
Simple Squamous Epithilium
|
Single layer of cells about as tall as they are wide
|
Simple cuboidal epithilium
|
Absoption and secretion
|
Simple cuboidal epithilium
|
Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory regions of most glands
|
Simple cuboidal epithilium
|
Single layer of cells taller than they are wide, with nucleus oriented lengthwise in basal region
|
Nonciliated simple columnar epithlium
|
Absorption and secretion, secretion of mucin
|
Nonciliated simple columnar epithilium
|
Lining of most of digestive track
|
Nonciliated simple columnar epithilium
|
Single layer of cells taller than they are wide, with nucleus oriented lengthwise in basal region; ciliated
|
Ciliated simple columnar epithilium
|
Secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along apical surface of epithilium by cilia; oocyte movement through the uterine tube
|
Ciliated simple columnar epithilium
|
Single layer of cells with varying heights, all cells connect to basement membrane, not all cells reach apical surface
|
Nonciliated/ciliated pseudostatified columnar epithilium
|
Protection/in ciliated form movement of mucus across surface
|
Nonciliated/ciliated pseudostatified columnar epithilium
