types of tissues and functions
epithelial
types
simple
squamous
regulates permeability(diffusion etc)
lining of alveoli of lungs(gas exchange)
cuboidal
absorb n secrete(ovary lining etc)
columnar
absorb n secrete(stomach etc)
transitional
no. of cell layers can decrease w stretching
stretches to accommodate change in urine vol
pseudostratified columnar
ciliated(respiratory)
secrete mucus, propel out of respiratory tract
non ciliated
lines epididymis
stratified(stacked)
types
squamous
protects against abrasion, infection
lines mouth vagina
cuboidal
protective tissue
mammary glands etc
columnar
secretes and protects
male urethra etc
functions
protect underlying tissues
barrier to entry of subts
secrete n absorb substs
connective tissue
loose
well spaced apart protein fibers
attaches epithelial tissue to underlying tissues
dense
closely packed protein fibers
attaches skeletal muscle to bones
cartilage
provides mechanical strength
tough, flex
withstand compression/ stretching
bone
hard calcified matrix
struct support, Ca2+ storage
blood
mixt of red n white blood cells surrounded by plasma
transports wastes, nutrients, respiratory gases
within blood vessels
adipose tissue
full of lipids leaving thin rim of cytoplasm
energy storage
thermal insulation
breasts etc
muscle
skeletal
long cylindrical muscle fibers that appear streaked
multinucleated w nuclei by the side
brings abt body mvmt
attached to bones/ other connective tissues
cardiac
cylindrical muscle fibers
striated, interconnected via branching
single nucleus in center of cell
pumps blood
smooth
muscle fibers tapered at ends
not striated, single nucleus
walls of hollow organs except heart
nervous
