Lubrication, protection from outside agents, absorption, secretion

Question 17

Serous membranes

Answer 17

Lines the subdivisions of the ventral body cavity
Reduction of friction through formation of slippery transudate fluid
Pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, thoracic wall, intentional wall

Question 18

Cutaneous membranes

Answer 18

Covers the surface of the body
Consists of a kerationized stratified squamous epithelium and an underlying layer of areolar connective tissue reinforced by a layer of dense connective tissue
Protection from mechanical damage and infection
Covers skin, outer surface of body

Question 19

Superficial fascia

Answer 19

Hypodermis

Loose connective tissue that seperates the skin from the underlying tissues and organs
Provides insulation and padding and let’s the skin move independently
Areolar, adipose

Question 20

Deep fascia

Answer 20

Consists of dense regular connective tissue
All the fibers run in same direction
Strong, fibrous network for the body and ties structural elements together
Bound to ligaments, capsules, tendons, etc.

Question 21

Subserous fascia

Answer 21

Loose connective tissue that lies between the deep fascia and the serous membranes that line the body cavities
Areolar tissue

Question 22

Cells - connective tissue

Answer 22

Fibroblasts (produce connective tissue fibers)
Chondroblasts (cartilage)
Osteoblasts (bone)
Adipocytes (fat)
Fixed macrophages (phosocytosis)
Melanocytes (produce melanin)
Blood cells (plasma holds blood cells together)

Question 23

Ground substance - connective tissue

Answer 23

Amorphous - no shape
Ranges from fluid - gel - solid
Support cells, binds them together

Question 24

Protein fibers - connective tissue

Answer 24

Collagenous fibers - tough/strong, contain collagen
Elastic fibers - elastic
Reticular fibers - strong (network)

Question 25

Location of squamous epithelia

Answer 25

Found in protected regions where absorption takes place

Question 26

Location of cuboidal epithelia

Answer 26

Located where secretion or absorption takes place

Question 27

Location of columnar epithelia

Answer 27

Found where absorption or secretion occurs

Question 28

Location of transitional epithelium (general)

Answer 28

Where expansion occurs

Question 29

Epithelial tissue - protection

Answer 29

Protect exposed and internal surfaces from abrasion , dehydration, and destruction by chemical or biological agents

Question 30

Epithelial tissue - control of permeability

Answer 30

Some epithelia are relatively impermeable, where as others are permeable

Contain the molecular machinery needed for selective absorption/secretion

The epithelial barrier can be regulated and modified in response to various stimuli

Question 31

Epithelial tissue - sensation

Answer 31

Specialized epithelial cells can detect changes in the environment and convey information about such changes to the nervous system

Question 32

Epithelial tissue - secretion

Answer 32

Gland cells are epithelial cells that produce secretions

Individual gland cells are often scattered among other cell types in an epithelium
