|
Epithelial Tissue (functions)
|
Covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways/chambers, and produces glandular secretions
|
|
Epithelial Tissue (three locations)
|
Skin, body membranes, and glands
ex: heart, and stomach |
|
Connective Tissue (functions)
|
Fills internal spaces, provides structural support, and stores energy
|
|
Connective Tissue (three locations)
|
Tendons, ligaments, and blood
|
|
Muscle Tissue (functions)
|
Contracts to produce active movement
|
|
Neural Tissue (functions)
|
Conducts electrical impulses and carries information
|
|
Two Subgroups of Epithelial Tissue
|
The subgroups are epithelia and glandular
|
|
Cellularity (general characteristics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are:
Cells bounded closely together and little/no intercellular space |
|
Polarity (general characteristics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are:
Free surface (apical surface), basement membrane, and uneven distribution |
|
Attachment (general characteristics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are: Basement membrane is attached to basal lamina, produced by epithelium and cells of the underlying connective tissue
|
|
Avascularity (general characteristics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are: No blood vessels, gets blood supply from basement membrane
|
|
Regenerative ability (general characteristics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are: Regenerate very quickly, suseptable to cancer
|
|
Nerve supply (general characterics of epithelial tissue)
|
Characteristics are: ?
