Epithelial Tissues
Histology is the branch of anatomy that __________________________________________
What is a tissue? A ____________________________________ _______________________________ function Example: cardiac, muscle, or nerves
4 Types of Tissues _______________ Tissue – covers body surfaces and organs, lines body cavities _____________ Tissue – binds and supports body parts ____________ Tissue – contracts producing movement ______________ Tissue – responds to stimuli and transmits nerve impulses
Epithelial Tissue _______________________________________ Readily divides (mitosis) producing new cells to replace old or damaged cells Lacks blood vessels __________________________________________________________________ Function: - Externally – _____________ body from drying out, injury, and bacterial invasion - Internally – protects, sweeps up impurities, ___________ mucus, ___________
Covers _______________ and ____________________ - Has a free surface - Other surface attached to underlying tissue by the ________________________________________
