1. Tissues a group of cells that perform a function

2. Characteristics of continous sheets/layers, lines cavities or covers organs, closely packed together,
Epithelial Tissue have a nerve supply, avascular, have an apical and basal surface, have a high
capacity for renewal, go through mitosis rapidly

3. Functions of Ep- protection, filtration, absorption, digestion, secretion, lubrication, transportation,
ithelial tissue reproduction, sensory reception, excretion

4. Three kinds of SImple, stratified, pseudostratified
layers of the ep-
ithelial tissue

5. Apical Surface free surface or one open surface

6. Basal Surface connected surface

7. Avascular no direct blood supply

8. Simple Epithelial one layer of epithelial cells

9. Stratified Epithe- more than one layer of epithelial cells
lial Tissue

10. Pseudostratified one layer of Epithelial Tissue that looks like two, look slike nucleus over nucleus

16. Gland one cell or a group of cells that secrete substances into ducts or on top of surfaces

17. Two Type of Glan- Endocrine and Exocrine glands
dular Epithelium

18. Exocrine Glands secrete their product onto body surfaces or into body cavities, ex. mucous, sweat,
oil, salivary glands, liver, pancreas

19. Endocrine secrete hormones into cell surfaces, diffuses into the blood carrying through the
Glands body to specific organs ex. pituitary and thyroid glands

20. Two Structural unicellular and multicellular
Classifications of
Glandular Epithe-
lium

21. Three Functional Holocrine, Merocrine, Apocrine
Classifications of
Glandular Epithe-
lium

22. Sebaceous gland Releases sebum that softens hair and skin, and is a bactericidal. Is not found in
palms and soles.
