pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
|
located lining the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract.
|
|
pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
|
it's function (contains goblet cells) that secrete mucus and possesses cilia that beat to sweep the mucus up and out of the airways. |
|
stratified Columnar Epithelium |
located in the male urethra |
|
stratified Columnar Epithelium |
it's function is to protect in select portions of the urethra, anus, epiglottis, and pharynx. Designed for secretion in large ducts of mammary and salivary glands. |
|
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
|
located in the ducts of sweat glands |
|
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
|
It is capable of absorption, secretion, protection
|
|
Transitional Epithelium |
can be found lining the urinary bladder and ureters
|
|
Transitional Epithelium
|
It's function is to allow stretching to occur as the bladder fills and the cells change from the rounded shape to the flattened shape. |
|
skeletal muscle
|
can be found attached to bones |
|
skeletal muscle
|
they produce movement of the skeleton. |
|
smooth muscle
|
is located in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, urinary bladder, and muscle blood vessels. For this reason it is also called visceral muscle. |
|
smooth muscle
|
it's function is to move substances through digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts. Regulates blood vessel diameter and controls the diameter of respiratory passageways. |
|
cardiac muscle |
is found only in the heart wall. |
|
cardiac muscle |
it's function is to generate the force capable of pumping blood through our blood vessels. Intercalated discs are found connecting adjacent cells. These unique structures allow for the rapid communication between adjacent cells. |
|
nervous tissue, neuron |
capable of generating and conducting an electrical impulse. These impulses carry information from one area of the body to another. |
|
nervous tissue, nueroglial cells
|
they are an assortment of cells that protect, support, and insulate neurons, but do not carry nerve impulses. |
|
dendrites
|
receive incoming impulses |
|
axon |
conducts impulse to the next cell |
|
simple squamous epithelium
|
allows for easy movement of molecules across the membrane via processes such as osmosis and diffusion.
|
|
simple squamous epithelium |
|
|
simple cuboidal epithelium
|
(function is secretion and absorption). |
|
simple columnar epithelium
|
found in the lining of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, ducts of large glands, small bronchi, and uterine tubes |
|
simple columnar epithelium
|
sections of the digestive tract lining posses microvilli, short slender cell processes that increase the surface area available for absorption of nutrients. |
|
stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized.
|
upper layers are dead and filled with keratin, a hard protein. Designed for protection against pathogens, abrasion, and chemicals. |
|
stratified squamous epithelium, keratinized.
|
|
|
stratified squamous epithelium, non-keratinized
|
upper layers of the cells do not die and do not become filled with keratin. Protects underlying tissues.
|
|
stratified squamous epithelium, non- keratinized |
found in lining of the esophagus, vagina, mouth, rectum, and anus |
|
stratified cuboidal epithelium
|
primarily located in the ducts of sweat glands, is capable of absorption, secretion, and protection. |
