where are the following types of tissues located in an organisms?
a) Ciliated epithelium b) Columnar epithelium c) Cuboidal epithelium d) Sensory epithelium e) Adipose connective tissue
Name of the tissue | Definition | Location |
Ciliated Epithelium | It is a tissue composed of ciliated or cuboidal cells. It is made up of one to two layers of cells. These tissues contain several hairs like projections called cilia. | Present in the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles, and fallopian tubes, air passages in the nose etc |
Columnar Epithelium | These are elongated and column shaped (pillar like) cells. They are made up of one or more layers | Columnar epithelium forms the lining of the stomach, intestine, and gallbladder. |
Sensory Epithelium | These are specialised epithelial cells | Found in the sensory organs such as nose, eyes, ears, tongue, olfactory bulb, skin etc |
Cuboidal | These are cube shaped epithelial cells | Present lining the kidney tubules, ducts of salivary glands etc |
Adipose connective tissue | Adipose tissue, or fat, is a term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat | Adipose tissue is present below the skin, around internal organs, in bone marrow and in breast tissue |
