Chapter 1 Flashcards
General functions of epithelium
Absorption, secretion, provide a barrier
Complete basement membrane contains these two parts
basal lamina, reticular lamina
basal lamina produced by these cells
epithelial
reticular lamina is produced by these cells in the CT
fibroblasts
Functions of the basement membrane
limited molecular filter, limits stretch
connective tissue provides epithelium with these two things
nutrition (oxygen), defensive cells
tight junction that shares i intrinsic membrane proteins and provides strong attachment, also prevents passage of materials between cells
zonula occludens
known as the adhesion belt, consists of cadherins and marginal bands, provides cell structural stability
zonula adherens
Composed of desmosomes and functions to provides strong attachment
macula adherens
composed of six connexins, provides strong attachment, transports materials b/w cells (nutrients & oxygen)
gap junctions
junctional complex in order
zonula occludens, zonula adherens, macula adherens
help connect epithelial cells to the basal lamina,
hemidesmosomes
an autoimmune skin disease causing large blistering lesions that burst, but do heal
bullous pemphigoid
an autoimmune skin disease causing skin blistering that do not heal easily; excessive bleeding likely, can be fatal
pemphigus vulgaris
acute bacterial infection of small intestines, toxins disrupt proteins in zonula occludens which permits the loss of water and electrolytes
cholera
functions and location of simple squamos
living filter, provides a barrier, lungs
functions and location of simple cuboidal
absorption, secretion, provides a barrier, exocrine ducts, thyroid follicular cells, kidney tubules
functions and location of simple columbar
Absorption, secretion, provides a barrier, GI tract
