16
Q

What are the functions of Stratified cuboidal epithelium?

A

Mainly protective functions

17
Q

Where do you find stratified cuboidal epithelium?

A

Forms the walls of ducts of most exocrine glands.

18
Q

What are the functions of stratified columnar epithelium?

A

Protects & secretes

19
Q

Where can you find stratified columnar epithelium?

A

Found in large ducts of salivary glands.

20
Q

What are the 2 types of glands?

A

Exocrine and endocrine glands.

21
Q

What is the difference between exocrine and endocrine glands?

A

Endocrine glands secrete hormones and have no ducts, while exocrine glands have ducts and can move.

22
Q

What are the three types of exocrine glands?

A

Merocrine, Apocrine, and Holocrine.

23
Q

What are the characteristics of merocrine glands?

A

cleanest=freeist of cellular debris

24
Q

What are the characteristics of apocrine glands?

A

Slightly messier; stinky sweat glands and mammary glands; more cellular debris than merocrine

25
Q

What are the characteristics of holocrine glands?

A

Messiest: sebaceous glands and cells disintegrate when releasing contents.

26
Q

What are the 3 basic components of Connective Tissue?

A

Collagen fibers
Reticular fibers
Elastic fibers

27
Q

What are the three main large molecules found in the ground matrix?

A

Glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and adhesive glycoproteins.

28
Q

What is the functional difference between resident cells and wandering cells?

A

One wanders, and the other chills.

29
Q

What are the functions of connective tissue?

A

Physical protection, support, structural framework, binding of structures, storage, transport, and immune protections

30
Q

What are the two types of embryonic connective tissue?

A

Mesenchyme and mucous connective tissue.

31
Q

What is the difference between mesenchyme and mucous CT?

A

Mucous is only found in the umbilical cord, more numerous immature protein fibers.
