Ch 5: Epithelium Tissues and Glandular Epithelium Flashcards
Epithelial Tissue
all epithelial tissue is avascular; cells too close together for blood vessels to pass
through; diffusion of nutrients and wastes can pass through
cells rest on a basement membrane
classified by number of layers and shape of cells
how many layers does a simple epithelial tissue have
1
how many layers is pseudo stratified
one layer that looks like multiple layers
what do the squamous layers look like
flat layers
cuboidal
cube
columnar
column
what is the structure of simple squamous
one layer of flat cells
what is the structure of simple cuboidal
one layer of cube cells
what is the structure of simple columnar
one layer of column cells
what is the structure of stratified squamous
many layers of flat cells; basal layer touches basement membrane
what is the structure of stratified cuboidal
many layers of cube cells; basal layer touches basement membrane;
what is the structure of transitional
many layers of cube cells that stretch and recoil; basal layer
touches the basement membrane;
what is the structure of stratified columnar
many layers of column cells
what is the structure of pseudostratified columnar
one layer of column cells that look like many
layers; all cells touch basement membrane;
glandular epithelium
(Exocrine Glands); classified by shape; duct system; type of secretion; and mechanism of secretion
tubular
elongated
acinar
round/grape like
alveolar
round
simple duct system
unbranched
compound duct system
branched
serous secretion
watery
