Chap 4 Flashcards
2 fundamental kinds of cells in the body
- Sex Cells
- Somatic Cells
Types of body tissues
Epithelial,
Connective,
Nervous,
Muscle
Epithelial Tissue
FORMS -body cover (skin) -lining of body cavities -glandular tissue FUNCTION -protect -absorb -filter and secrete
Connective Tissue
connects and supports
Nervous Tissue
control
Muscle Tissue
Movement
Epithelia
- apical surface (exposed)
- basal surface attached to basement membrane
- avascular/ innervated
Maintaining the integrity of epithelial tissue
- Intercellular connections
- Attachment to basal lamina
- Maintenance and repair
Intercellular Connections
epithelial cells attach to one another and extracellular fibres of basal lamina
A Clear layer, or lamina tissue that contains glycoproteins and a network of fine protein filaments is?
Basal Lamina
What attaches the deepest epithelial cell to basal lamina
hemidesmosome
Encircles cells and binds them to their neighbours through bands of dense transmembrane glycoproteins attached to microfilaments
Adhesion belt
Channel proteins that form a passageway and let small molecules and ions pass
Connexons
Increases the resistance of the tissue to mechanical stress
Desmosome
Cell adhesion molecules (CAM)
Cadherin
- Simple Squamous Epthelia
- diffusion and filtration
- forms alveoli, capillary walls and endocardium
- lines body cavities
- reduces friction
Simple Squamous Epithelia LOCATION
- Mesothelia
- Endothelia
- alveoli in lungs
Substance passes through the narrow space btwn cells=
paracellular transport
substance enters cell via active or passive means =
transcellular transport
- Stratified Squamous Epithelia
- most common
- protection
- lines mouth, esophagus, apical surface
Apical surface
showed skin
- Simple Cuboidal Epithelia
- absorption and secretion
- thyroid gland
- kidney tubules
- Stratified Cuboidal Epithelia
- lining of some ducts
- protection, secretion, absorption
