Chapter 4 Flashcards
Much of what is known about cell biology, cancer and genetics of cancer is from research on…
HeLa Cells
groups of similar cells
Tissue
responds to stimuli, sends signals
nervous tissue
contracts and moves body parts
muscle tissue
tightly packed cells, protects body from injury, regulates exchange between internal and external
characteristics of epithelial tissue
one layer of cells and a basement membrane
simple
more than one layer of cells
stratified
flat, scale like
squamous
equal in height and width
cuboidal
taller than wide
columnar
Filters, diffuses, osmosis
simple squamous epithelium
Protection from abrasion, protection from water loss, in skin
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Lining of esophagus outer layer is living and moist
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
found in kidneys, secretion and absorption
simple cuboidal epithelium
found in digestive system, protects, secretes, absorbs
simple columnar epithelium
protein sheet secreted by epithelial cells
basal lamina
basement membrane contains these two parts
basal lamina, reticular fibers
can expand from 6 layers thick to 3 layers thick, found in bladder
Transitional epithelium
outer layer is dead and dry
keratinized
outer layer is living and moist
non-keratinized
these secrete mucus
goblet cells
lines respiratory tract
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
release hormones internally into bloodstream
endocrine glands
have ducts outside the body, puts products onto skin
exocrine glands
increase surface area absorption or secretion
microvilli
moves materials across surface
cilia
