Epithelium Tissue

Identify:

• Smooth Muscle
• Columnar
• Transitional
• Pseudostratified

What is Tissue

• A collection of organs.
• A type of fabric.
• Layers or groups of similar cells with a common function

• Layers or groups of different cells with a uncommon function

Lines ducts and glands

• Columnar

• Cuboidal

• Simple Squamous

• Transitional

Absorbs nutrients in the digestive tract

• Columnar

• Cuboidal

• Simple Squamous

• Pseudostratified

4 major types of Tissues

• adipose tissue, cartilage tissue, bone tissue, and blood tissue.
• skeletal tissue, smooth tissue, cardiac tissue, and lymphatic tissue.
• epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue
• respiratory tissue, digestive tissue, circulatory tissue, and excretory tissue.

Function of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

• Move substances across the free surfaces and filtration

• Protection against pathogens.
• Storage of fat cells.
• Absorption of nutrients and water.

Locations of Stratified Squamous Epithelium

• Lines reproductive tubes and lines passage in the respiratory track (trachea and bronchi)

• Stomach lining
• Oral cavity, esophagus, vagina, oral cavity

• Lungs

Function of Transitional Epithelium

• To provide protection against mechanical stress.
• To allow organs to stretch and expand

• To facilitate the exchange of gases in the lungs.
• To produce and secrete hormones.

Found in organs like the bladder that need to stretch

• Areolar

• Stratified squamous

• Pseudostratified

• Transitional

Identify the following tissue

• Elastic cartilage
