Document Summary

~know the tissues and special functions as well as special characteristics (review lab notes on tissues)~ Typical epithelial tissue: avascular (cells nourished via diffusion). Structure polarity: (has apical layer (top)) and the basement layer (bottom) Simple squamous- location inner lining of the blood vessel (tunica intima). Fxn: controls permeability of vessel, reduce friction, absorption and secretion. Simple cuboidal- cube shaped cells: location: kidney, pancreas, secreting endocrine glands. Transitional epithelium- location: only found in the urinary bladder. Psuedostratified ciliated columnar(pscc)- location : trachea and bronchi fxn: protect linings due to. Fibroblast: produce collagen for strength and framework organs. Areolar= lose connective tissue- framework for all organs. Dense regular connective tissue- location: muscle tendons (connects muscle to bone) fxn: strength and support. Dense irregular connective tissue- location: dermis of the skin. Fxn: provides flexibility, strength and support, connects skin to muscle. Elastic connective tissue- location: tunica media of the blood vessels.
