different types of epithelial tissues that are found inside the human body. There is the cutaneous membrane (tissue)‚ which we would refer to as “skin”. This part is the only epithelial tissue that is touched by air and is dry. The cutaneous membrane is composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. The second is the mucous membrane‚ which is the tissue used for absorption and secretion‚ protective lubricating mucus in the repertory and digestive system. This membrane lines the hollow

Chapter 6 Ossecous Tissue and Skeletal Structure The Skeletal system consists of bones and their associated connective tissues‚ including cartilage‚ tendon and ligaments. I. Function of the Skeletal System 1) Bone- The most rigid component of skeletal system a) Support- serves as a framework; Maintains body’s shape b) Protection- of critical internal organs‚ brain‚ heart and lungs c) Lever System- for muscles to produce body movements d) Mineral storage- e.g. Calcium and

Tissue Types Amy Chanda Morrison Colorado Christian University Our bodies have four different types of tissues. They are epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. Each one has a specific job to do to keep the body in homeostasis. Patton stated “homeostasis is the relatively constant state maintained by the body” (pg.19). He also stated that “the precise and constant chemical composition of the internal environment must be maintained within very narrow limits‚ or sickness and death will result”

Epithelial Tissue covers body surfaces (epi‚ on + thelium‚ surface). Epithelial tissue consists of cells attached to one another to form an uninterrupted layer of cells that separates the underlying tissues from the outside world. The body’s epithelium not only covers its obvious surfaces (such as the epidermis of the skin and the linings of respiratory‚ urinary‚ and digestive tracts) but also extends into all of the complex invaginations which form lungs‚ kidneys‚ sweat glands‚ digestive glands

Classification of Tissues Introduction Cells are the smallest units of life. In complex organisms‚ cells group together with one another based on similar structure and function to form tissues .Tissues provide the numerous functions of organs necessary to maintain biological life. This lab exercise seeks to introduce the various tissues found in the human body and to familiarize you with their composition and function. The study of tissues is called histology ‚ and is important to the understanding

Cells of the body are organized into four fundamental tissues; epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nerve. Epithelial tissues line all surfaces of the body: the skin‚ cavities‚ ducts‚ vessels. They are named according to the cell shape on the free surface. Cells of a tissue are held together by the basement membrane and intercellular fibbers. These tissues receive their nutrition by diffusion‚ for they are without blood vessels. Simple squamous epithelium lines all blood and lymphatic vessel‚ including

The lungs are made up of many types of tissue; the cartilages‚ ciliated epithelium‚ smooth muscle‚ squamous epithelium‚ elastic fibres and goblet cells and glandular tissue. The cartilage is a very stiff and flexible tissue‚ which doesn’t contain air vessels. It is found in trachea‚ bronchus‚ bronchiole and alveolus‚ and it has a structural role. It support‚ and gives strength to trachea and bronchi. It holds the airways open for the resistance with little airway. This prevents it from collapse
