Lab Practical Review
Human Biology
Simple Squamous Outer layer of skin aka “epidermis”
Simple SquamousCheek Cell Smear
Lung tissue is simple squamous for gas exchange!
Simple Squamous
Stratified Squamous(more than one layer of cells)
Stratified Squamous
Simple CuboidalSingle layer of “square” cells
Cuboidal cells are designed to secrete, like those found in the
kidneys
Simple Cuboidal
Transitional epithelium includes squamous and cuboidal cells.
• This tissue is found in the bladder and other organs that are designed to stretch!
Simple Columnar In the small intestine (jejunum)
• Columnar cells ABSORB, ABSORB, ABSORB!!
• What do they absorb in the intestines?
Pseudostratified columnar cells can also have cilia, like in the trachea.
The cilia are hair-like structures that . . .
• AID IN MOVING SUBSTANCES like mucus, dust, and foreign particles
Connective TissueAdipose (Fat Cells)
Adipose
Hyaline Cartilage(Chondrocytes)
• Found in the rib cage• Allows expansion of
lungs while breathing
Hyaline Cartilage
Elastic Cartilage(Chondrocytes)
• This is the bendable cartilage found in the ears.
Bone (Osteocytes)
Bone
Blood(Erythrocytes and Leukocytes)
Muscle TissueAll cells are called fibers!
Smooth
• Smooth muscle is stringy
• Found in all major organs
• Involuntary with one nucleus per cell
Smooth Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
• Has striations that make the fibers appear banded
• Tissue is voluntary and attached to bones
• Several nuclei per fiber
Skeletal Muscle
Cardiac Muscle
• Fibers have striations but are also branched
• Tissue is involuntary and found in the heart
• One nucleus per fiber
Cardiac Muscle
Nervous TissueAll tissue is made of neurons.
• Neurons appear as star-shaped cells in the brain (cerebrum and cerebellum) and the spinal cord
Nerve Cells
