Definition

[image]

lines kindey tubules and ducts of some glands

absorption, secretion, and re-absorption

Term

lines GI tract: intestines and colon

has goblet cells

secretion and absorption

Term

[image]

protection

keratinized - forms epidermis

non-keratinized - mouth, esophagus, vagina

Term
psuedo stratified ciliated columnar
Definition

[image]

found in trachea and bronchi

nucleus appears layered but isn't

goblet cells

not all cells reach free surface

all originate at basement membrane

Term
transitional
Definition

[image]

cells on top layer are called "dome cells"

lines renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder

stretching and recoiling

Term

glandular epithelium

(pancreatic tissue)

 

Definition

[image]

endocrine and digestive function

islet of langerhan - secrete insulin and glucagon

acinar cells - secrete digestive enzymes

Term
connective tissue
Definition

binds, supports, and protects organs to form framework of body

classified as:

loose: areolar and adipose

dense: bone, ligaments, tendons

Specialized: bone, cartilage

Term
adipose connective tissue
Definition

[image]

cushions organs, stores fat and insulates

found: eyesockets, breasts, hips, thighs, surrounding major organs

Term
Dense Regular CT
Definition

[image]

found in tendons and ligaments

composed of collagen fibers

purple dots are nuclei of fibroblasts

Term
bone CT
Definition

[image]

haversian canal - contains blood vessels and nerves

lamelle - calcified bone arranged in concectric circles

lacunae - contain osteoctyes
