lubricating substances in serosae
simple cuboidal epithelium
single layer of cube shaped cells
simple cuboidal epithelium function
secretion and absorption
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
tissue that consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and sized cells that give the appearance of
multiple layers; found in ducts of certain glands and the upper respiratory tract
pseudostratified columnar epithelium function
secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
connective tissue proper
a type of connective tissue that supports other tissues and organs of the body
collagen fiber
a type of fiber that is secreted by fibroblasts, which hold connective tissues together
elastic fiber
type of fiber secreted by fibroblasts, returns to its original shape after being stretched or compressed

Fluid Connective Tissue: Blood
Erythrocytes, red blood cells, transport oxygen, and some carbon dioxide.
Leukocytes, white blood cells, are responsible for defending against potentially harmful microorganisms
or molecules.

allowing larger molecules and excess fluid from interstitial spaces to enter the lymphatic vessels. Lymph
drains into blood vessels.
