Tissue Types
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what type of tissue has single layer of flat cells and are found in kidneys, lungs, lining of heart, and blood vessels | simple squamous epithelium |
| what type of tissue has a single layer and are found in ducts of glands and kidney tubules | simple cuboidal epithelium |
| what type of tissue has a single layer and are found in digestive tract, gallbladder, brochi and uterine tubes | single columnar epithelium |
| what type of tissue appears multi layered but is actually single layered and has many ciliated cells; found in upper respiratory tract | pseduostratified columnar epithelium |
| Type of tissue that is most widespread and is found in high wear and tear areas; Its function is to protect underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion; found in mouth, anus and vagina | stratified squamous epithelium |
| type of tissue that is rare and found in some sweat and mammory glands | stratified cuboidal epithelium |
| type of tissue that has limited distribution and only the apical layer is columnar; found in small amts in pharynx, male urethra and some glandular ducts | stratified columnar epithelium |
| type of tissue that is found mainly in urinary tract; bladder, ureters and urethra | transitional epithelial |
| Tissue that contains three elements: ground substance, fibers and cells | connective tissue |
| Gel like material that fills space between cells and supports weight between bones and organs | ground substance |
| Made up of ground substance and fibers | Extracellular matrix; ECM |
| strongest and most abundant fiber | collagen |
| fiber that's main function is for stretch and recoil | elastic fiber |
| short, fine, highly branched collagenous fibers | reticular |
| cell that is producing; immature form of cell | "blast" cells |
| type of cell that is found in connective tissue | fibroblast |
| type of cell that is found in cartilage | chondroblast |
| type of cell that is found in bone | osteoblast |
| mature, less active cells | "cyte" cells |
| cells that are a energy source | fat cells |
| tissue response to injury | white blood cells |
| release histamine; aid in inflammation | mast cells |
| big eater; eats dead cells; function in immune system | macrophages |
| Function: wraps and cushions organs, plays important role in inflammation, holds and conveys tissue fluid | areolar loose connective tissue |
| Location: under epithelia of body, forms lamina propria of mucous membranes, packages organs; surrounds capillaries | areolar loose connective tissue |
| Function: shock absorption, insulation and energy storage | adipose loose connective tissue |
| Location: under skin in subcutaneous tissue, around kidneys and eyeballs, within abdomen and breasts | adipose loose connective tissue |
| Functions: fibers form a stroma that supports other cell types including WBC, mast cells and macrophages | reticular loose connective tissue |
| Location: lymphoid organs; lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen | reticular loose connective tissue |
| can withstand high tension and stretching; poorly vascularized; attaches muscles to bone; bone to bones; muscles to muscles | dense regular connective tissue |
| Location: tendons, most ligaments | dense regular connective tissue |
| withstands tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength | dense irregular connective tissue |
| Location: fibrous capsules of organs and joints, dermis of skin, submucosa of digestive tract | dense irregular connective tissue |
| allows tissue to recoil after stretching; maintains flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration | elastic dense connective tissue |
| Location: walls of larger arteries; within certain ligaments associated with vertebral column; within wall of bronchial tubes | elastic dense connective tissue |
| type of cartilage that supports and reinforces; serves as resilient cushion; resists compressive stress | hyaline cartilage |
| type of cartilage that forms most of embryonic skeleton, covers end of long bones in joint cavities, costal cartilages of ribs, cartilage of nose, trachea and larynx | hyaline cartilage |
| type of cartilage that maintains shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility | elastic cartilage |
| type of cartilage that supports the external ear and is found in epiglottis | elastic cartilage |
| type of cartilage that has tensile strength that allows it to absorb compressive shock | fibrocartilage |
| type of cartilage that is located in intervertebral discs; pubic symphasis, discs of knee joint | fibrocartilage |
