Ep Flashcards
Epithelial cancers
Carcinomas
Connective tissue or muscle cancer
Sarcomas
Heamatopeatic
From bone marrow are leukimas
From lymphocytes lymphomas
Neural cell cancer
Neuroblastomas
Neural cell cancer from glial cell
Glioma
single squamous
thin lining for gas exchange
found in alveoli
lining blood vessels
stratified squamous epithelial has 2 main types
Keratinizing
and non k
what is keratinizing
Epithelial cells which produce keratin and in doing so die becoming thicker, stronger, protective structures
Such cells lose their cellular organelles and nuclei, not visible under light microscopy.
whats non k
Epithelial cells which do not undergo keratinisation. They retain their nuclei and organelles.
protect underlying tissues for various physical and chemical insults
which part of the membrane are mitochdroa associated with
associated with extensive basal membrane infoldings, providing energy for active transport across the abundant membranes. The infoldings increase the amount of basal membrane that can pump ions and water.
why are the mito there
providing energy for active transport across the abundant membranes.
describe the strcuture of the basal membrane
The infoldings increase the amount of basal membrane that can pump ions and water.
where are carriers normally found
found on the microvillous brush-border membranes
what are microvilli
Microvilli are defined as plasma membrane projections of the villi.
where are the secertoy granules found in exocrine cell
apical cytoplasm
