- 9How is epithelial tissue described by anatomists?Layers - Simple & Stratified
Shape - Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar, Pseudostratified - 10What is the structure, description of location, specific location, and function of Simple squamous epithelium?Structure - One layer of flat cells
Description - On top of things
Location - Skin
Function - Exchange & reduces friction - 11What is the structure, description of location, specific location, and function of simple cuboidal epithelium?Structure - One layer of cube shaped cells

Description - Rare
Location - Rare
Function - Protection - 17What is the structure, description of location, specific location, and function of urothelium epithelium?Structure - Multiple layers of urothelium cells
Description - Urinary system
Location - Bladder, Urethra, Ureters
Function - Protection from waste - 18Define endotheliumInner lining of the cardiovascular system
- 19Define mesotheliumLining of organs
- 20How are endothelium and mesothelium similar and differentBoth reduce friction
Endothelium is only in cardiovascular system
Mesothelium is around every organ - 21What is the structural similarity of connective and supporting tissue?Both have few cells and lots of extracellular space?
- 22What are the connective tissue categories?1) Loose connective Tissue
2) Dense irregular connective tissue
3) Dense regular connective tissue
4) Elastic connective tissue
5) Reticular
6) Adipose - 23What are the supporting tissue categories?1) Cartilage tissue
2) Bone tissue - 24What are the 2 categories of cells in connective tissue1) Fibrous
2) Elastic - 25Describe fibrous cells.1) Non branching
2) Thick - 26Describe elastic cells1) Tend to branch
2) Thin
3) Can recoil - 27What is ground substance?Things that aren't cells (Cologne fibers, Elastic fibers, water, etc.)
- 28What are the principle fibers of connective tissue?1) Cologne fibers
2) Elastic fibers - 29What is the function of cologne fibers?Resist tension
- 30What is the function of elastic fibers?Can recoil
- 31What is the structure, description of location, specific location, and function of loose connective tissue?Structure - Few cells & few fibers
Description - Everywhere
