A&P unit 1 Flashcards
Tissue
collection of cells that preform a specific function
Polarity
Refers to the structural and functional differences between the exposed and attached surfaces.
Transitional epithelial
A mixture of cubodial and squamos : Goes from cubodial to squamos
An example of this would your bladder stretching to squamos when it is time to be released.
Gap Junction
Send signals and coordinates tissue, channels are connecting to each other and there cytoplasm is connected throughout the cell.
Regeneration
shedding, differentiation, proliferation
What are epithelial tissue categorized by?
Layers and shape
Simple squamos
Located in protective places, good for absorption and diffusion, really thin, good for gas exchange and controlling friction (one layer)
Stratified squamos
Really squishy
skin has alot of this
it is protective
Simple cubodial
Good for holding things in there shape
Occurs where secretion and absorption take place
Good for glands
Not as squishy
Has a rigid shape
Stratified cubodial
Same as simple cubodial, but has more layers
Simple columnar
Located in the small intestine/ stomach
Happens where absorption and secretion take place
Protects from chemical stresses
Stratified columnar
providing protection along portions of the pharynx, epiglottis, anus, and urethra, as well as along a few large excretory ducts.
It has 2 or more multiple layers
Helps food go down smoothly
What are the three categorize of epethilial tissue
Cubodial, squmaos, columner
Tight Junction
Two plasma membrane bound together from membrane proteins
Prevents water and solutes from passing between cells
Example: Tight junctions in digestive tract keep waste and enzymes in the lumen away from bisolateral surface and digesting
Extracellular protein fibers
collagen
retecular fibers
elastic fibers
Axial skeleton
focusing on the middle of the body (skull, ribcage)
apendicular skeleton
Focuses on apendages (skin, arm, hand)
