"IP MAT"
What happens during Interphase?
- answer- resting; organism spends most of its life in interphase
What happens during prophase?
- answer- nuclear membrane disappears
What happens during metaphase?
- answer- chromosomes align at equator
What happens during anaphase?
- answer- chromosomes move toward poles
What happens during telophase?
- answer- separation of chromosomes
What is the general purpose and location of Simple Squamous cells?
- answer- General purpose: air and fluid diffusion
Location: alveoli, capillaries, blood and lymph vessels
NOTES: thinnest cells, therefore easiest for diffusion
What is the general purpose and location of Stratified Squamous cells?
- answer- General purpose: areas of high friction
Location: Keratenized = skin; Non-Keratinized = oral cavity, anal cavity, vagina, esophagus
NOTES: "If you are satisfied, then you are stratified"

What is the general purpose and location of Simple Cuboidal cells?
- answer- General purpose: secretory cells
Location: kidney tubules, glands, and digestive tract, choroid plexus
NOTES: CSF production, ependymal cells, follicular and parafollicular cells of thyroid
What is the general purpose and location of Stratified Cuboidal cells?
- answer- General purpose: secretory
Location: Sweat glands, ovaries, testes
What is the general purpose and location of Transitional cells?
- answer- General purpose: stretch-bladder
Location: urinary bladder, ureters, kidneys
NOTES: Allows expansion
What is the general purpose and location of Simple Columnar cells?
- answer- General purpose: Absorption
Location: stomach, small and large intestine, glands
NOTES: Easy absorption
What is the general purpose and location of Stratified Columnar cells?
- answer- General purpose: reproductive tract
Location: Uterus (not vagina)

What is the general purpose and location of Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar cells?
- answer- General purpose: respiratory tract
Location: entire pulmonary tract: nasal mucosa --> terminal bronchiole (Exception = alveoli)
NOTES: Cilia = filter
What is the macrophage cell of the Lung?
- answer- Dust cells
What is the macrophage cell of the Liver?
- answer- Kupffer
What is the macrophage cell of the Brain?
- answer- Microglia
What is the macrophage cell of the Skin?
- answer- Langerhan
What is the macrophage cell of the Bone?
- answer- Osteoclasts
Where can you find dense regular tissue?
- answer- tendons and ligaments
Where can you find dense irregular tissue?
- answer- dermis of skin
Where can you find elastic tissue?
- answer- blood vessels
