CH 4 Flashcards
Primary Tissues
Epithelial- cover
connective- support
muscle- produce movement
nerve- controls
epithelial functions
protect absorb filtration excretion secretion sensory
Epithelial characteristics
polarity specialized contact support by connective tissue avascular, innervate regenerate
cells have polarity
apical surface
basal surface
microvilli
fingerlike, increase surface area
basal lamina
underside of epithelial layer
specialized contact
bind adjacent cells:
Tight junction and desmosomes
connective tissue support
reticular lamina- under basal lamina and network of collagen fibers
basement membrane- basal + reticular lamina
resist stretching and tearing
avascular but innervated
no blood vessels, nourished by underlying connective tissue
supplied by nerve fibers
regeneration
stimulate by loss of apical-basal polarity and lateral contact
adequate nutrition can replace lost cell by cell division
simple epithelia
absorb, secrete, filtrate, very thin
simple squamous
(secrete) allow material to pass through diffusion.
found in rapid diffusion prioritizes
(kidney, lungs)
endothelium- lines lymph, blood vessels and heart
mesothelium- epithelium of serous membrane in ventral body cavity
simple cuboidal
secretion and absorption
kidney tubule
simple columnar
absorption and secretion of mucus and enzymes by cilia
digestive tracht, gall bladder, stomach to rectum
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
single layer, nucleus at different levels
Secrete substances particularly mucus, propulsion by ciliary.
most of upper respiratory tracht
stratified epithelial tissue
2 or more layers, regenerate from below, protection is major role
stratified squamous
surface cells have keratin and dead, basal cells are active produce more cells
protects against abrasion
epidermis, esophagus, vagina
stratified cuboidal
rare, found in sweat and mammary, 2 cell layers thick
stratified columnar
protection and secretion
male urethra and some in large glands
basal cells cuboidal superficial columnar
transitional epithelium
change shape and stretch, forms hollow urinary organs
gland
cells that make and secrete aqueous fluid called secretion
classified by endocrine or exocrine
ductless gland
secretion not released in duct
