  2. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium

    Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of cells with little extracellular matrix. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Epithelial (mesothelial) tissues line the outer surfaces of many internal organs, the corresponding inner surfaces of body cavities, and the inner surfaces of blood vessels.

  3. Simple columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_columnar_epithelium

    Simple columnar epithelium is further divided into two categories: ciliated and non-ciliated (glandular). The ciliated part of the simple columnar epithelium has tiny hairs which help move mucus and other substances up the respiratory tract.

  4. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudostratified_columnar...

    Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium that, though comprising only a single layer of cells, has its cell nuclei positioned in a manner suggestive of stratified columnar epithelium.

    Functions of epithelial tissue: The principle function of epithelial tissues are covering and lining of free surface; The cells of the body's surface form the outer layer of skin. Inside the body, epithelial cells form the lining of the mouth and alimentary canal and protect these organs. Epithelial tissues help in the elimination of waste.

  6. Stratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    Stratified columnar epithelium is a rare type of epithelial tissue composed of column-shaped cells arranged in multiple layers. It is found in the conjunctiva, pharynx, anus, and male urethra. It also occurs in embryo.

  7. Stratified squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_squamous_epithelium

    A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity.

    The olfactory epithelium is a specialized epithelial tissue inside the nasal cavity that is involved in smell.In humans, it measures 5 cm 2 (0.78 sq in) [1] and lies on the roof of the nasal cavity about 7 cm (2.8 in) above and behind the nostrils. [2]

  9. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Other kinds of connective tissues include fibrous, elastic, and lymphoid connective tissues. [11] Fibroareolar tissue is a mix of fibrous and areolar tissue. [12] Fibromuscular tissue is made up of fibrous tissue and muscular tissue. New vascularised connective tissue that forms in the process of wound healing is termed granulation tissue. [13]
