Q

epithelial tissue

epithelial tissue

A
  • covers body surfaces and lines body cavities
  • upper surface usually exposed to the environment or an internal space in the body
  • avascular: does not have blood vessels
  • epithelial tissue is usually nourished by connective tissue
  • high rate of mitosis (really fast cell divison)

  • produces and release chemical secretions
  • excrete waste
  • absorb chemicals including nutrients
  • selectively filter substances
  • sensation

16
Q

epithelial tissue

basement membrane

A

layer between an epithelium and underlying connective tissue
- anchors the epithelium to the connective tissue below it

17
Q

epithelial tissue

basal surface

A

surface of epithelial cell facing the basement membrane

18
Q

epithelial tissue

apical surface

A

surface of epithelial cell that faces away from the basement membrane

19
Q

epithelial tissue

simple epithelia

A
  • ADD THIS LINE
  • all cells touch basement membrane
20
Q

epithelial tissue

stratified epithelia

A
  • ADD THIS LINE
  • some cells rest on top of others and do not touch basement membrane
21
Q

simple epithelia

what are the 4 types of epithelia with only 1 layer?

A
  • simple squamous (thin, scaly cells)
  • simple cuboidal (square or round cells)
  • simple columar (tall, narrow cells)
  • pseudostratified columnar
22
Q

simple epithelium

simple squamous epithelium

A
  • single row of thin cells
  • permits rapid diffusion or transport of substances
  • locations: alveoli, glomeruli, and endothelium
23
Q

simple epithelium

simple cuboidal epithelium

A
  • single layer of square or round cells
  • absorption and secreation, mucus production, and movement
  • locations: liver, thyroid, mammary and salivary glands, bronchioles and kidney tubules
24
Q

simple epithelium

simple columnar epithelium

A
  • single row of tall, narrow cells
  • oval nuclei in basal half of cell
  • brush border (cillia) of microvilli, ciliated in some organs
  • absorption and secretion; secretion of mucus
  • locations: lining of GI tract, uterus, kidney, and uterine tubes
25
Q

stratified epithelia

stratified epithelia

A
  • range from 2 to 20 or more layers of cells
  • some cells rest directly on others
    • only the deepest layer attaches to basement membrane
26
Q

stratified squamous

stratified squamous

A
  • most widespread epithelium in the body
  • deepest layers undergo continuous mitosis
    • newly produced cells push toward the surface and become flatter as they migrate upward
    • finally die and flake off: exfoliation
      2 types:
  • keratinized and non-keratinized
27
Q

stratified squamous

keratinized vs non-keratinized

A

keratinized: found on skin surface, abrasion resistant
non-keratinized: lacks surface layer of dead cells

28
Q

stratified squamous

keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

A
  • multiple cell layers; cells become flat and scaly toward surface
  • resists abrasion; hinders water loss through skin; resists penetration by pathogenic organisms
  • locations: epidermis (plams and soles heavily keratinized)
29
Q

stratified squamous

keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

A
  • same as keratinized epithelium without surface layer of dead cells
  • resists abrasion and penetration of pathogens
  • locations: tongue, orgal mucosa, esophagus, and vagina
30
Q

stratified epithelium

stratified cuboidal epithelium

A
  • two or more cell layers; surface cells square or round
  • secretes sweat; produces sperm and ovarian hormones
  • locations: sweat gland ducts, ovarian follicles
31
Q

connective tissue

connective tissue

A

a diverse, abundant type of tissue in which cells occupy less space than matrix
- most cells are not in direct contact with each other
Highly variable vasculature
- loose connective tissues have many blood cells
- cartilage has few or no blood vessels

32
Q

functions of connective tissues

A
  • connecting organs: tendons and ligaments
  • support: bones and cartilage
  • physical protection: cranium, ribs, sternum
  • immune protection: white blood cells attack foreign invaders
  • movement: bones provide lever system
  • storage: fat, calcium, phosphorus
  • heat protection: metabolism of brown fat in infants
  • transport: blood
33
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

mast cells

A

found alongside blood vessels
* secrete heparin to inhibit clotting
* secrete histamine to dilate blood vessels

34
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

adipocytes

A

store triglycerides (fat molecules)

35
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

A

produce fibers and ground substance of matrix

36
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

A

phagocytosis and activate immune system when they sense foreign matter (antigens)

37
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

A
  • neutrophils attack bacteria
  • lymphocytes target bacteria, toxins and other foreign agents
38
Q

fibrous connective tissue - different cell types

A

antibodies
