basement membrane between epithelium and connective tissues
3 types of epithelial layers 1. simple 2. stratified 3. pseudostratified
simple single layer, touch basement membrane, neatly arranged nuclei

simple cuboidal epithelium single layer cube/square. Stronger barrier than simple squamous. Impermeable or selective.
simple cuboidal epithelium locations Gland ducts, thyroid gland, kidney tubes
Simple columnar epithelium Single layer rectangular. Lines direct environmental exposure areas. Thickest & most difficult to cross
Cilia Hair like
Microvilli Tiny fan folds. Increase surface area
Goblet cells Mucus producing glands. Lube & protect. Can be associated with cilia or microvilli
3 special features of Simple columnar epithelium Microvilli, cilia, goblet cells
Simple columnar epithelium locations Digestive lining (with microvilli & goblet), smaller airways (with cilia), ducts of large glands
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Variety of cells, most have cilia & goblet. Thickness doesn't change.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium locations Lines large airways (trachea, bronchi), reproductive tubing
Stratified squamous epithelium Multiple layers thickness varies. Strong, durable, direct exposure to environment.
Stratified squamous epithelium locations Epidermis (skin surface), mucus membranes (moist body entrances)
transitional epithelium several layers large round cells. can stretch*
transitional epithelium locations bladder, bladder tubing
gland tissue type made of epithelial tissue
endocrine gland uses blood (not ducts) to deliver secretions, produces hormones
exocrine glands ducts lead to epithelial surface to deliver secretion
3 types exocrine glands 1. merocrine 2. apocrine 3. holocrine
merocrine gland sends only secretions through ducts, watery
apocrine glands portion of cell + secretion through ducts, slightly thicker
holocrine glands lose entire cell with secretion, very thick. chance of odor
3 types of connective tissue 1. soft 2. support 3. fluid
soft connective tissues very pliable. also known as proper connective tissues
support connective tissues rigid (stiff)
fluid connective tissues liquid tissues, blood
connective tissues vascular or avascular highly vascular
matrix space between connective tissue cells. fibers & a ground substance.
fibroblasts fibers produced by connective tissue cells
3 types of connective tissue fibers 1. collagen 2. elastic 3. reticular
collagen fibers thick protein bands. strong, dont stretch. found in most connective tissues
elastic fibers thinner protein strands that stretch
reticular fibers medium thickness, branched protein strands rarely found in connective tissues
ground substance surrounds cells & fibers of connective tissues
3 types of ground substances 1. hyaluronic acid 2. chondroitin sulfate 3. calcium salts
hyaluronic acid ground substance found in soft connective tissues. watery makes tissues flexible.
chondroitin sulfate gelatinous forms ground substance of cartilage.
calcium salts ground substance is very rigid provides support & protection. forms bone crystalline matrix
2 types support CT 1. cartilage 2. bone
2 types fluid CT 1. blood 2. lymph
4 types soft CT 1. areolar 2. adipose 3. dense collagenous 4. reticular
areolar CT common found beneath epithelium. many fiber & cell types
adipose CT fat found beneath epithelium & protective cushions. chicken wire
dense collagenous CT many collagen fibers in matrix. strong doesnt stretch
reticular CT framework for organs including liver, spleen, kidneys, lymph nodes
cartilage *AVascular* support CT.
lacunae shell-like housing units
3 types cartilage 1. hyaline 2. fibrocartilage 3. elastic
hyaline cartilage end of nose, part of ribs, joint surfaces, fetal skeleton
fibrocartilage more collagenous fibers, forms intervertebral discs & joint pads
elastic cartilage elastic fibers & collagen, most flexible. Forms outer ear
osseous CT (bone) ground substance is calcium salts creating rigid calcified matrix. found in lacunae. "bulls-eye"
muscle tissue with ability to contract in response to stimulus, stretchy, large closely-packed sheets, large, easy DNA access
skeletal muscle associated with skeleton used to move body around. Striated (striped)
cardiac muscle walls of heart. striated (striped), intercalated discs
intercalated discs special cell junctions for rapid transmission of info between cells in heart.
smooth muscle muscular walls of most body organs. No striations, has smooth appearance. small spindle shaped cells
visceral smooth muscle muscular walls of many abdominal & pelvic organs. large interconnected sheets function as group
multiunit smooth muscle muscular walls of blood vessels, internal eye structures, arrector pili. Large sheets function independently
nervous tissue contains neurons
neurons large star-shaped cells send/receive electrical impulses
neuroglia support cells protect neurons
forms outer layer of skin stratified squamous epithelium

epidermis most superficial layer of skin, stratified squamous epith. thickness varies.

stratum germinativum stratum spinosum & stratum basale together
stratum granulosome manufacture keratin, oval shaped cells begin to die (further from nutrient source)
keratin protein makes cells water-repellent and resistant

melanocytes produce melanin, located at the bottom of epidermis on the dermis border.
papillary region just deep to the stratum basale. composed of areolar CT fills areas where epidermis changes thickness
