Tissues
Stratified
Squamous
Description:
multiple cell layers,
shape resembles cuboidal
to columnar through
deep layers; basal cells replacing superficial cells that are lost
-

in the middle
Location:
- air sac
of lungs
- lining of
the heart
-
Pseudostratified
Columnar
Description:
cells are attached to the basement membrane; however, not yet meeting the apical surface causing the nuclei of cells to be at different levels
-
Muscle
Tissue
Cardiac
Description:
branch-like striated
fibers that contain one
nucleus located
in the middle
along with intercalated
discs (involuntary)
-
Smooth
Description:
Non-striated fibers that appear think in the center and gradually lesson closer to the ends along with a nucleus located in the middle and do not contain intercalated discs (involuntary)
