Q

Neuroectoderm

A

A portion of the ectoderm – becomes the nervous system.

*Neural crest cells break away from neuroectoderm during development give rise to parts of peropheral nerves, skin pigment,etc

Q

Epithelial Tissue

A
  1. Mostly composed of cells
  2. Covers body surfaces - Exterior, lining of digestive/respiratory tracts, the heart, blood vessles and body cavities
  3. Distinct Tissue surfaces - Most have apical surface
  4. Cell and Matrix connections - specialized cell contacts bind adjacet cells together
  5. Nonvascular
  6. Regeneration - Fast mitosis

Q

What is the difference between Keratinized and non-keratinized?

A

Keratinized consists of living cells only in the deepest layers while dead layers are on top

Non-keratinized (moist) consists of living cells in both deep and superficial layers

Q

Goblet cells

A

Responsible for synthizing and secreting mucous

21
Q

What are the 6 types of cell connections

A
  • Desmosomes
  • Hemidesmosomes
  • Tight junctions
  • Adhesion belt
  • Gap junction
  • Intercalated discs
22
Q

Desmosomes

A

Consists of adhesive glycoprotiens that bind cells together and extend to cytoplasm

Holds neighboring cells together

*Found in areas of stress - Skin

23
Q

Hemidesmosomes

A

Similar to one half a desmosome

Attached epithelial cells to basement membrane

24
Q

Tight Junction

A

Holds cells together and forms a permeability barrier so substances cannot seep through

Found near apical layer

Binds adjcent cells together to prevent passage of materials between cells

25
Q

Adhesion belt

A

Found just below the tight junction

Located between plasma membrane of adjacent cells and acts as a weak glue

26
Q

Gap Junction

A

A small specialized contact region between cells containing protien channels that aid in intracellular communication

Allows small water soluable molecules pass BETWEEN cells

27
Q

Intercalated disc’s

A

Specialized Gap Junctions in the heart between cardiac muscles

*Contain both desmosomes and gap junction

28
Q

Glands

A

Secretory organs

Composed primarily of epithelium with a supporting network of connective tissue

29
Q

Exocrine Glands

A

Glands with ducts

*Maintains an open contact with epithelium tissue

30
Q

Endocrine Glands

A

no ducts

Become seperated from epithelium

*Adrenal glands, Thyroid glands

31
Q

Hormones

A

Cellular products of endocrine glands

Secreted into bloodstream and carried throughout the body

32
Q

Multicellular glands

A

Composed of my cells

*Most exocrine cells

Classified by their structure of their ducts and secretory regions

33
Q

Unicellular glands

A

Composed of a single cell

*Goblet cells

34
Q

Simple glands

A

have a single, non branched duct

35
Q

Compound glands

A

Multiple branched ducts

36
Q

What are the 2 shapes of secretory regions in glands?

A

Tubular

Acinar/Alveolar

Also a combination of the 2 are : Tubuloacinar or Tubuloalveolar

37
Q
A
38
Q

What are the 3 types of secretion from a gland?

A

39
Q

Merocrine Secretion

A

Most common type

The release of secretoru products by exocytosis

40
Q

Apocrine Secretion

A

release of secretory products as pinches off fragments of hte gland cells

41
Q

Holocrine Secretion

A

Shedding of entire cell
