Anatomy Tissue Part 1 Test Flashcards
Merocrine gland
Watery, protein-rich fluid
Serous gland
Watery fluid w/high concentration of enzymes
Mucous gland
Thick fluid rich in glyco-proteins
Apocrine gland
Lose portions of their glandular cell bodies
Holocrine gland
Entire gland lyses during secretion
Goblet cells are generally associated with
Columnar cells
Epithelial tissues are nourished by the process of
Diffusion
3 characteristics of the tissue that forms the inner lining of the respiratory tact
Pseudo-stratified, mucus secreting, ciliated
The tissue through which gases are exchanged between the air and the blood in the lung is
Simple squamous
Basement membranes occur between
Epithelium & Connective tissue
3 functions of epithelial tissue
Absorption, protection, diffusion
4 basic tissue types
Epithelium, connective, muscle, nervous
Epithelium consisting of many layers of cells in which the outer layers are flat and thin and the basal layers are cuboidal or columnar would be called
stratified squamous epithelium
Epithelium which appears to be cubelike when an organ is relax and flattened when the organ is distended by fluid is called
Transitional epithelium
Epithelium that consists of a single layer of cells in which some cells are tall and thin and reach the free surface and others do not; however, all cells touch the basement membrane is
pseudostratified epithelium
