Lung
Alveolus
Rapid diffusion of gases + transport of substances through
membrane
Inner lining of heart & blood vessels, serous membranes of
stomach, intestines
Kidney
Liver, thyroid, bronchioles
Secretion, absorption (and reabsorption)
Uniport, antiport, symport
Stomach, small intestine, large intestine, gallbladder, uterus
Absorption of nutrients, secretion of enzymes & mucus
Goblet cells
Microvilli (brush border) - helps increase surface area
Microfilaments (actin)
Trachea, nasal cavity, epididymis, male urethra
Cilia
Tubulin
Secretes mucus, propels mucus
Nuclei appear at different levels and not in a row
Transitional
Is this epithelium simple or stratified? Stratified
List two possible locations this epithelium could be found bladder, ureters, and part of umbilical cord
Function of this epithelium Permits distension
(stretches to allow shape change as in filling of bladder)
Type of junctions between cells and function of these Tight junction, to be waterproof.
junctions Cells can change shape (layers of round cells > very thin
How can this be distinguished from other multilayered layers)
epithelia?
Fibroblast
Elastic and collagen
Loose Binding. Holds nerves and blood vessels in place
Subcutaneous layers and fascia between muscles
Adipose
Type of cell Adipocyte
Name two locations this tissue could be found Subcutaneous fat, breasts, heart surface
Two functions of this tissue Energy storage, thermal insulation, protection for some
organs
Reticular fibers
Supportive stroma (framework) for lymphatic organs
Reticular cells
Lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow
Fibroblasts
Collagen
Provides strong attachment points and gives high tensile
strength
Ligaments and tendons
Collagen
Fibroblasts
Deeper portion of dermis
Multi-directional strength
Hyaline cartilage
Cell type Chondrocyte
Term for material making up matrix Ground substance
Function Non rigid support. Eases joint movements, holds airway open
for respiration, moves vocal chords for speech
Two locations this tissue could be found Nose, ends of bones and movable joints, fetal skeleton
Fibrocartilage
How is this distinguished from dense connective tissue?
Cell type
Significant protein in matrix
Function

Two locations this tissue could be found
Elastic cartilage
Unique protein to this connective tissue
Two locations this tissue could be found
Function
Osteocytes
Lacunae
Haversian canal
