Certain cells have certain functions for good of the organism
Division of labor
Groups of cells with similar structure and functions
Tissues
Covering (in or outside)
Epithelial
Support (bones)
Connective
Movement
Muscle
Control
Nervous
Various tissues working together for a common function
Organs
-Lining, covering and glandular tissue
—Functions:’protection, absorption, filtration, secretions (useful substances)
Epithelial Tissue (epithelium)
Characteristics:
Epithelial Tissue
What are the types of epithelium tissue?
Simple and stratified
One layer of cells
Simple
More than one layer of cells
Stratified
- secretions and filtration, very thin
Simple epithelium
Simple squamous (scaly)
Simple cuboidal
- stomach to anus
Simple columnar
Which secrete mucus are found in this type of epithelium
Goblet cells
- involved in secretion and absorption
Pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium
-lines the respiratory tract – cilia move debris upward
Pseudo-stratified ciliates columnar
Stratified epithelium
- -mouth, esophagus, skin
Stratified squamous
- -rare in body
Stratified cuboidal and columnar
Characteristics of Connective Tissues
Is water with protein fibers, the consistency of the fibers determines the tissue
Matrix
