STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
location

Deeper layers are irregular or cuboidal in shape
rare
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM functions
secretion
protection
some absorption
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
located at;
A) mammary gland
B) larynx
C) male urethra
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
Single layer of cells
Some are tall and thin and reach the free surface
At different levels and appear stratified
Almost always ciliated and are associated with goblet cells that secrete mucus onto the free surface
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM function
Synthesize and secrete mucus onto the free surface and move mucus (or fluid) that contain foreign particles over the surface of the free surface and from passages
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
located at;
A) nasal cavity
B) nasal sinuses
C) auditory tubes
D) pharynx
E) trachea
F) bronchi
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
Stratified cells
Not stretched: appears cuboidal
Stretched: appears squamous
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM functions
Accommodates fluctuations in the volume of fluid in an organ or a tube
Protects against the caustic effects of urine
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM location
Lining of urinary bladder, ureters, and superior urethra
CONNECTIVE TISSUE functions
Encloses and separates other tissues
Connects tissues to one another
Supports and moves parts of the body
Stores compounds
Cushions and insulates
Transports gases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, and cells of the immune system throughout the body
Protects against toxins and tissue injury, as well as against microorganisms
AREOLAR
Fine network of fibers with spaces between the fibers
Fibroblasts, macrophages, and lymphocytes are located in the spaces
AREOLAR function
Loose packing, support, and nourishment for the structures with which it is associated
AREOLAR
location
A) distributed
B) rest
C) packing
ADIPOSE
Consists of adipocytes, or fat cells, which contain large amounts of lipid
Composed of large cells and a small amount of extracellular matrix
ADIPOSE function
Packing material
Thermal insulator
Energy storage
Protection of organs against injury from being bumped or jarred
ADIPOSE location
Predominantly in subcutaneous areas, mesenteries, renal pelvis, around kidneys, attached to the surface of the colon, mammary glands, and in loose connective tissue that penetrates into spaces and crevices
RETICULAR
Fine network of reticular fibers irregularly arranged
RETICULAR function
Provides a superstructure for lymphatic and hemopoietic tissues
