●● Epithelial Tissue
Answer: A body tissue that covers the interior and exterior surfaces of
the body.
●● Nervous Tissue
Answer: A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth
between the brain and every other part of the body.
●● Connective Tissue
Answer: A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects
all of its parts
●● Muscular Tissue
Answer: Contracts and moves the various parts of the body.
●● Simple
Answer: One layer
,●● Stratified
Answer: Layered
●● Squamous
Answer: Wide Cells, Example: lies blood vessels and lungs
●● Cuboidal
Answer: Cube shaped, Cells, Example: Lines kidney tubules
●● Columnar
Answer: taller than wide Cells, Example: Lines digestive tract
●● Pseudostratified
Answer: Single layer but some cells shorter than others, often looks like
a double layer
●● Mitosis
Answer: Cell division
●● Internal Epithelial Tissue
Answer: Examples: Most Glands
, ●● External Epithelial Tissue
Answer: Skin, Hair, Fingernails, etc
●● Neuroepithelium
Answer: A type of epithelium that is specialized to perform a particular
sensory function; these provide the senses
●● Exocrine Cells
Answer: made in cell and secreted
●● The Basement Membrane
Answer: The basal surface of epithelial tissue is connected to
●● Basal Lamina
Answer: thin extracellular layer that lies underneath epithelial cells and
separates them from other tissues
●● Three major types or junctions
Answer: Tight juctions, Desmosomes junctions, Gap junctions
●● Tight Junctions
Answer: Membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together,
preventing leakage of extracellular fluid
