Animal Flashcards
Finger like projections extending from the free surface of epithelial cells that increase the surface area which substances are absorbed
Microvili
Finger like extensions from oviduct to help the ovary go down to fallopian tube
Fimbriae
Found at the tip of the bronchioles that provide surface area for gas exchange during respiration
Alveoli
Modified simple columnar epithelial cell that produce mucins, the major component of mucus
Goblet cell
No nucleus to give space for hemoglobin
Rbc
Three simple plant tissues
Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
Loosely packed with intercellular tissue, most component of ground tissue
Parenchyma
Contains large intercellular cells which allows gas exchange
Aerenchyma cells
Air storage
Spongy parenchyma
Unevenly thick walls
Function: flexible support
Collenchyma
Dead at maturity bcs of lack of protoplast
Function:mechanical support (fibers) and protection (sclereids)
Sclerenchyma
Has a lots of mitochondria
Spermcell
Located in upper airways that sweeps mucus with inhaled particles from the lung
Ciliated epithelium
Moves the egg towards the uterus
Cillium
