04 - HISTOLOGY Flashcards
serves as an attachment between the epithelium and connective tissue
Basement membrane
three primary germ layers
Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm
Epithelial tissue
Avascular or vascular?
Avascular
Parts of Epithelial Tissue
Apical surface
Basal surface
Basal lamina
Reticular lamina
Produced by EPITHELIUM
Basal lamina
Produced by the CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Reticular lamina
•usually forms membranes where FILTRATION or exchanges of substances by rapid diffusion occur
Simple squamous
•forms the serous membranes that line the ventral body cavity and cover the organs in that cavity
Simple squamous
Endothelium and mesothelium
Simple squamous
Part of the body (blood vessel) which is in contact with the blood
Endothelium
Network of capillaries which is the site of filtration/exchange of substances
Glomerulus
•common in glands and their ducts (e.g. salivary glands and pancreas)
Simple cuboidal
•forms the walls of the kidney tubules, and covers the surface of the ovaries
Simple cuboidal
•Highly adapted for SECRETION and ABSORPTION
Simple cuboidal
•Lines the entire length of the digestive tract from the stomach to the anus
Simple columnar non-ciliated
produce a lubricating mucus that protects the linings of the GI tract from the gastric acid
Goblet cells
•Consists of single layer of columnar, goblet and ciliated cells
Simple columnar ciliated
•Lines some portions of the upper respiratory tract, Fallopian tubes, uterus, some paranasal sinuses and central canal of spinal cord
Simple columnar ciliated
•found in the throat, trachea, and bronchi of the lungs
Pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated
Most common STRATIFIED EPITHELIUM in the body
Stratified squamous
•Found in sites that receive a good deal of abuse or friction
- subjected to an unfriendly environment
•located predominantly along the exposed surfaces of the body
Stratified squamous
•found in the throat, the esophagus, the mouth, and the outer portion of the skin
Stratified squamous
Stratified squamous epithelium needs additional protection, which the body provides by supplying a layer of __________ to the apical surface of the epithelium
Dead cells
•Found in the lining of sweat gland ducts and salivary gland ducts
Stratified cuboidal
- Serves a protective function
* Has a limited role in secretion and absorption
Stratified cuboidal
- found as the lining of the ducts of the mammary glands and in parts of the male urethra
- Functions in protection and secretion
Stratified columnar
Classification of epithelial cells according to FUNCTION
- Covering and Lining
2. Glandular
Glandular epithelium
- endocrine
- exocrine
- lines the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive tracts
- protects, absorbs nutrients and secretes mucus, enzymes and bile salts
Covering and lining
•Glands may consist single epithelial cells or a group of highly specialized epithelial cells that secrete various substances.
Glandular
ductless and secrete hormones
Endocrine glands
- thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands
Endocrine glands
- secrete their products into ducts
Exocrine Glands
- eg. sweat and salivary glands
Exocrine Glands
Exocrine glands can further be classified into
Unicellular
Multicellular
What kind of gland is the GOBLET CELLS that lines the RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACT and secretes mucus
Unicellular exocrine glandular gland
Multicellular exocrine gland can further be divided into
Simple
Compound
sweat glands, most of the glands of the digestive tract and the sebaceous glands
Simple multicellular exocrine glands
Have SINGLE, UNBRANCHING DUCTS
Simple multicellular exocrine glands
Have BRANCHING DUCTS
Compound multicellular exocrine glands
mammary glands and the large salivary glands
Compound multicellular exocrine glands
Functional classification of Exocrine glands
- Holocrine
- Apocrine
- Merocrine
- Most abundant and widely distributed
* Well vascularized except CARTILAGES, LIGAMENTS and TENDONS
Connective tissue
3 Basic Elements of Connective Tissues
Cell
Ground substance
Fibers
Cells contained in the connective tissue
Fibroblast Macrophage Plasma cells Mast cells Adipocytes and WBC
Produce substance that will become ground substance
Fibroblast
Derived from monocytes and will be used for phagocytosis
Macrophage
