Chapter 4: Epithelial and Connective Tissues
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Epithelial tissues | Forms boundaries |
Types of epithelia tissues | Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar, stratified squamous, and transitional |
Simple squamous | Single layer of flattened cells |
Simple cuboidal | Single layer of cube-like cells |
Simple columnar | Single layer of tall cells |
Pseudostratified columnar | Single layer of cells of differing heights |
Stratified squamous | Several layers of flattened cells |
Transitional | Several layers of flattened and cube-like cells |
Lung | Example of simple squamous |
Thyroid | Example of simple cuboidal |
Colon | Example of simple columnar |
Trachea | Example of pseudostratified columnar |
Skin | Example of stratified squamous |
Ureter or bladder | Example of transitional |
Connective tissues | Supports, connects, and bonds tissues |
Three types of connective tissues | Connective tissue proper, cartilage, and bone |
Three types of connective tissue proper | Loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue) and dense connective tissue (dense regular) |
Tissue containing elastic fibers and collagen fibers | Areolar connective tissue |
Tissue containing lipid-filled vacuoles and nuclei | Adipose tissue |
Tissue containing nuclei of fibroblasts and collagen fibers (can be found in the tendon) | Dense regular connective tissue |
Three types of cartilage | Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage |
Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae and a matrix (can be found in the trachea) | Hyaline cartilage |
Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae and elastic fibers (can be found in the ear and epiglottis) | Elastic cartilage |
Tissue containing chondrocytes in lacunae (can be found in the intervertebral discs of the spine and menisci) | Fibrocartilage |
Tissue containing an osteon, central canal, and canaliculi) | Bone |
