Hey steemians! Today I wanted to tells you guys about what I’ve learned in Health Science A&P. I was taught about the different types of tissue there are, location and the function.
I learned about the Epithelial,Connective,Muscle and Nervous Tissues and many more things. I’ll be informing you what I learned about Epithelial tissue.
About Epithelial tissue:
Epithelial tissue Form sheets that cover or line the body.
We also learned about Matrix which is the liquid between a cell. Because epithelial cells are packed close together with little or no intercellular material(another name for matrix) between them, they form continuous sheets that contain no blood vessels.
There are 2 ways Epithelial Tissue can be called either simple or stratified.
Simple meaning it has one layer and stratified has many layers.
If classified according to shape, identified as:
Squamous: Flat and scalelike
Cuboidal: Cube-shaped
Columnar: Higher than they are wide
Transitional: Varying shapes that can stretch
I hope you enjoyed this post!
