The plasma membrane

A

Defines boundaries, interactions with other cells, controls the flow of substances; selectively permeable, maintains cellular homeostasis, made up of lipids and proteins, fluid mosaic

Q

Secretory granules

A

Container transport-contains a product to be released into the circulation. Granules bind to plasma membrane and their contents are released by exocytosis

Q

Stratified squamous

A

Flat surface cells, many layers, protection/barrier found in oral cavity, anus, vagina, Oesophagus, skin

16
Q

Keratinised stratified squamous

A

Flat surface cells, many layers-protection, barrier (waterproofing) found-skin, hair, footpads of animals

17
Q

Simple cuboidal epithelium

A

One layer-secretion and absorption found in glands, kidney tubules

18
Q

Simple columnar epithelium

A

Tall cells with nasally located nuclei-one layer-absorption and secretion found in gastrointestinal tract

19
Q

Modified simple columnar epithelium

A

Tall cells with basally located nuclei, one layer-surface modifications e.g microvilli function absorption & secretion found in the gastrointestinal tract

20
Q

Complex columnar epithelium

A

Appear stratified -all cells touch basement membrane (Cillia & goblet cells) functions micocillary escalator found in trachea and large respiratory airways
