What is the function of epithelial tissue?
- Protection: protects the body from chemical, physical, and microbial injury and heat loss
- Absorption: in the gut absorbs nutrients from food. Lungs absorb O2

The basal layer is the ____ layer composed of a single layer of ____ shaped cells that overline the _____. It is _____ therefore mitosis occurs in this layer.
- Deepest
- Cuboidal cells

This is a thin, acellular, ehcmial-based structure always located between any form of epithelium and connective tissue. It is composted of what 2 layers?
- Basement Membrane
- Basal lamina: Produced by epithelum cells (SUPERFICIAL)
- Reticular lamina: produced by connective tissue and is more fibrous (DEEP)
What are the functions of the basement membrane?
- Supports, cushions the epithelium
- Reinforces the epithelial sheet, helping it resist stretching and tearing forces
- Connects epithelium to the connective tissue and defines the boundary
- Acts as a filtration barrier for both the epithelium and connective tissue
What are the three layers of the mucous membrane. They include the 2 layers of the basement membrane.

- Reticular lamina: deeper connective type tissue
- Lamina propria: loose connective tissue that underlies the epithelium of mucous membranes.
What are the 2 particular types of neural tissue cells?
- Neurons: nerve cells that retrieve and conduct impulses.
- Neuroglia: supporting cells of the nervous system (5-50x more numerous than neurons) protects the nerve cells.
What are the 3 parts of a neuron?
- Dendrite: multiple, receives impulses and conducts them into the cell body
- Cell body: contains neucleus and cytopasm and transfers signal to axon
- Ason: conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body. The impulses terminate into axon terminals.
FYI: axons outside the CNS are insulated by myelin sheeth (product of Schwann cells)
What are the 3 clssifications of connective tissue?
- Loose
- Dense
- Loose with special purpose
What are the functions of connective tissue?
- Support
- Repair
- Protection
What are the 3 types of fiber tissue?
- Collagen
- Elastic
- Reticular
What are the 3 classifications of connective tissue?
- Areolar: present when skin is attached to muscle, muscle attached to muscle, or where organs are held together by membranes of connective tissue called fascia (loose connective)
- Adipose: fatty tissue, stores energy and insultates (loose connective with speical propertieis)
- Fibrous: cartilage, bone, and ligaments (dense connective tissue)
What are the 3 types of fibrous tissue?
- Cartilage: gives support and permits skeletal growth (contain no nerves or blood vessels. (CHRONDROCYTES)
- Bone: supports the body, is mineralized, contains dense fibrous interellular sybstances. (OSTEOCYTES)
- Ligaments & Tendons: attach muscles to bones (FIBROBLASTS)
What are the 3 types of cartilage?
- Hyaline: most common form, in the nose, tracheal rings, layrnx, bronchi, ends of ribs and artiulating bone surfaces
- Elastic: in the epiglottis, larynx, and ear canal and tube
- Fibrous: bundels of collagen fibers in the vertebral disks and tendons
**All konwn as specialized connective tissue
Where is the cartilage located and what are its characteristics.
- Located at the articular surfaces of most freely movable joints.
- It has no nerve supply or blood supply
- It takes longer to heal than bone and is not calcified.
- It is the skeletal system of an embryo
What are the 2 types of growth of cartilage?
- Interstitial growth: growth deep within the tissue by mitosis of each condyle
- Appositional growth: layered growth on the external surface of cartilage, occurs after injury
What are the 2 types of bone (connective tissue)?
- Compact (dense) bone: solid, composed of layers, lamellae, with no interventing soft tissue (outside/bone wall)
- Spongy (concellous) bone: common in developing bone, has trabeculae intervene by marrow spaces. Hollow center of bone.
What are the structural and cellular component consist of what 3 cells?
- Osteocytes: bone cells that are housed in calcified matrix niches called lacunae.
- Osteoblasts: bone formes, that originate from mesenchymal cells.
- Osteoclasts: involved in bone remodeling and repair process (multinucleated)
This is the outer portion of bone; contains blood vessles and nerves (outer layer); contains a single layer of cells that give rise to osteoblasts (inner layer)
Periosteum
This is the lining of the cavity; thinner than the periosteum.
Endosteum
What are 3 types of bone cells?
- Osteocytes: cell of the bone
- Osteoblasts: bone forming cell
- Osteoclasts: absorption and removal of bone
What is the function of blood (connective tissue)?
- Conducts O2 to the clles
- Returns CO2 from the cells to the lungs
- Clots to prevent blood loss
- Regulates pH through buffering system
This is the fluid part in which the cells are suspended.
Plasma
What are the 3 types of blood cells?
- Erythrocytes: RBC, not true cells lack nucli function to cary O2 from the lungs to the tissues and return CO2 from tissue to lungs
