Q

Which tissue sample is healthy? Which tissue sample is unhealthy?

A

The tissue on the left is unhealthy because the white space is indicitive of ademia.

The tissue on the right is healthy becasue it was a epithelium with mucus and then connective tussue with muslce underneath.

Q

What tissue will always be adjacent to epithelial tissue? Why?

A

Epithelial tissue is avascular so epithelial tissue is always connencted to connective tissue which is highly vascular

Q

What are the 3 principal characteristics of epithelial tissue?

A
  1. Cell Junctions
  2. Defined Cell Polarity
  3. Basement Membrane
19
Q

What is an epithelioid? Where are they found?

A

A specialized epithelial tissue that doens’t have a free surface as a mature cell. So, it meets the criteria for a epithelium young, but as it matures it loses the lumen.

They are found monstly in endocrine glands

20
Q

What are the 3 factors to consider when classifying/naming epithelium

A
  1. Cell layers: simple or stratified
  2. Cell shape: squamous, cuboidal, columnar
  3. Apical modifications: keritinized, ciliated
21
Q

Endothelium - location and classification of epithelium

A

Lining of the blood and lymphatic vessles

Simple squamous

22
Q

Mesothelium - location and classification of epithelium

A

Lining of the walls and closed cavities of the body (abdominal, pericardial, pleural cavities)

Simple squamous

23
Q

Endocardium - location and classification of epithelium

A

lining of ventricles and artria of the heart

simple squamous

24
Q

What is the general function for simple or pseudostratified epithelial tissue?

A

Secretion and absorbtion

25
Q

What is the general function of simple squamous?

A

High transepithelial transport

Less cytoplasm to travel through the better

ex) blood vessels for gas transfer

26
Q

What is the general function for stratified epithelium?

A

Wear and tear regions - if the top layer gets destroyed then the lower layers can replace them

Low trans epithelial transport (impermeability)

27
Q

What are the 4 typical location of the simple squamous epithelium?

A
  1. Endothelium - exhange and barreir in the CNS
  2. Mesotheliun - exchange and lubrication
  3. Bowmans capsual - barrier
  4. Respiratory spcaes - exchange
28
Q

What are the 3 typical locations for simple cuboidal epithelium?

A
  1. Small duct of exocrine flands - absorption, conduit
  2. Ovary (germinal epithelium) - barrier
  3. Kidney tubules - apsobtion of water and secreation of Na and electrolytes
29
Q

What are the 3 typical locations for simple columnar epithelium?

A
  1. Small intestine and colon - absorption and secretion
  2. Stomach lining and gastric glands - secretion
  3. Gallbladder - absorption (makes liver bile more potent by removing 90% of the water)

(almost exclusivley simple columnar in intestine)

30
Q

What is pseudostratified epithelium?

A

It looks statified, but it is actually simple. Not all cells reach the apical layer so the nucli are not in a uniform line. All the cells are connected to the basement membrane which makes it simple.

31
Q

What are 3 typical locations for pseudostatified epithelium?

A
  1. Trachea and bronchial tree - secration, conduit
  2. Ductus deferens - secretion, conduit
  3. Epididymis - absorption, conduit

(conduit = for channeling water)

32
Q

What are 3 typical locations for statified squamous?

A
  1. Epidermis - barrier and protection
  2. Oral cavity and esophagus - barrier and protection
  3. Vagina - barrier and protection

In places of wear/tear/stretch

33
Q

What are 2 typical locations for stratified cuboidal? How many layers are there?

A
  1. Sweat glands - barrier and conduit
  2. large ducts of exocrine glands - barrier and conduit

only 2 layers, this type of epithelium is very rare

34
Q

What is one typical location for stratified columnar? How many layers are there?

A

Largest ducts of exocrine glands - barrier and condiut

ex) mammary glands during lactation

Only 2 layers - this type of epithelium is very rare

35
Q

Transitional epithelium (urothelium) definiton and purpose

A

Term applied ot epithelium lining the lower urinary tract.

Dome and larger shape of outer layer allows for stetching without tearing and going back to place (think about your bladder)
