Chapter 4 Flashcards
epithelial
covers body surfaces, hollow surfaces, and body cavities, little intercellular space, avascular
connective
protects and supports, intercellular space filled with matrix (nonliving), highly vascular
muscle
makes body parts move
nervous
detects stimulus inside and outside the body
tight junction
membranes of cells almost completely fused
gap junctions
tubular channels (connexons) link cells and membranes are not tightly fused
desmosomes
cadherins anchors parts of the membranes to each other
simple squamous
fxn: diffusion, filtration, secretions
location: BV, lungs, kidneys, serous membrane
simple cuboidal
fxn: secretions and absorption
location: glands, ovaries, kidney tubes
nonciliated
fxn: secretion and absorption
location: gastrointestinal tract
stratified squamous
fxn: protection
location: outer layer of skin, mouth, and tongue
stratified cuboidal
fxn: protection and some secretion and absorption
location: sweat glands, esophageal glands
ciliated
fxn: move mucus and other substances across cells
location: upper respirator tract, uterus
endocrine glands
ductless, pass secretions through the blood
transitional
fxn: permits distension
