anatomy epithelium Flashcards
characteristics of epithelium
Cells closely packed
Apical cells exposed to external or internal surface
Cells attached to basement membrane
Avascular - Lack Blood vessels
Cells continually replaced.
functions of epithelium
Physical protections
Permeability control
Sensation trigger
Specialized glandular secretions
epitheliual cells are vascular
false, they are avascular
epithelial cells can regenerate
true
endocrine glasnds secrete products directly into the neighboring tissues and blood
true
Cillias fuction is to increase surface area of the cell of absorption
false, microvilis function is to increase surface area of the cell of absorption
psuedostratififed cells are locayted in ur bladder so they can stretch
false, transitional cells are located in ur bladder so they can stretch.
Abundant on transport cells
Dramatically increase surface area
Found in intestinal lining, kidney tubules
microvilli
Beat in coordinated fashion
Move fluid along surface
Found in airways, oviduct
cilia
The basement membrane supports all epithelial tissue
true
respiratory tract
Reproductive Tract (Male)
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
bladder
Uterus
transitional
Alveoli lining
Blood vessel lining
Body cavity lining
simple squamous
Glands
Ducts
Kidney Tubules
simple cuboidal
digestive tract lining
uterine tube lining
simple columnar (Microvilli)
