Anatomy & Physiology of Animal Tissue Flashcards

Provides barriers for organs from outside environment
Covers the body surface & organs, forms inner lining of body cavities, & lines hollow organ. Always has a free surface, underside is basement membrane

Produce, force, & cause motion

Holds other tissues together such as bone of blood

Forms brain, spinal cord, & cranial nerves

Lines the air sacs of lungs where O2 & CO2 are exchanged
Lines insides of blood, lymph vessels, & covers membranes that line body cavities

Single layer of cube-shaped cells
Lines follicles of thyroid gland, covers, ovaries, lines kidney tubules.
Kidneys: tubular secretion/reabsorptionGlands: secretes glandular products

Single layer of elongated cells, near basement membrane Cells can be ciliated or nonciliated
Lines uterus and portions of digestive tract
Absorption

Lines passages of respiratory system

Keratininization: covering of dry/thick protective material prvents H20 & wastes from escaping underlying tissues
Lines oral cavity, esophagus, vagina, and anal canal

Lines larger ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, & salivary glands. Lining of developing ovarian follicles & seminiferrous tubules

Found in parts of male urethra & parts of pharynx

Specialized to change in response to increase tension. Lines urinary bladder, lines ureters, & part of urethra. Expendable lining, prevents contents of urinary tract from diffusing back into internal environment.

Composed of cells that are specialized to produce & secrete substances. Found in columnar or cuboidal.

Glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto surfaces (skin or lining of digestive tract)

Glands that secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood
