Epithelial

Question 1

Cuboidal

Answer 1

Cube-shaped

Question 2

Columnar

Answer 2

Column-like (oval shaped nuclei sit at bottom)

Question 3

Transitional

Answer 3

Stretchy and variably shaped

Question 4

Simple layer

Answer 4

Single layer all of the same type

Question 5

Stratified layer

Answer 5

Serval layers, named by type of cell in outer layer

Question 6

Epithelial

Answer 6

Outer layer 
Very top layer
form sheets of cells
Avascular - but had nerve endings
Can have cilia & microvilli
Replaced frequently (regenerative)

Question 7

Simple squamous epithelium

Answer 7

Structure: single layer of thin; flattened cells
Function: suited for diffusion

Question 8

Simple squamous epithelium

Answer 8

Location: lines inside of all blood vessels (endothelium)
Lines inside of heart (endocardium)
Lines walls of capillaries & responsible for feeding tissue and alveoli (air sacs of lungs)

Question 9

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 9

Structure: single layer of cube shaped cells with centrally located nuclei
Function: secretion and sometimes absorption

Question 10

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 10

Location: kidney tubules and ducts of some glands (salivary, thyroid, pancreas, and liver) and glands

Question 11

Endocrine

Answer 11

Makes their product and secretes it into the matrix (fluid outside cell)

• capillaries come inside the gland and pickup the product
• product is always hormone

Question 12

Exocrine

Answer 12

Secretes its products outdid of itself using s duct

Ex| saliva mucous sweat enzymes oil wax reproductive fluids and milk

Question 13

Merocrine secretion

Answer 13

Cells release their product through exocytosis

Question 14

Aprocrine secretion

Answer 14

The Alex of the cells become full of product, pinches off and moves into the duct and finally breaks down releasing product

Question 15

Holocrine secretion

Answer 15

The whole cell becomes full of product and ruptures to release the product

Question 16

Simple columnar epithelium

Answer 16

Structure: elongated cells, nuclei are all located near the basement membrane, often have microvilli or cilia
Function: tissue is a big absorber and cilia bell move things

Question 17

Simple columnar epithelium

Answer 17

Location: line uterus/ Fallopian tubes, stomach and intestines

Question 18

Psudostratufied columnar epithelium

Answer 18

Structure: looks like more than one layer but is not. Nuclei not all at bottom, have cilia, also have goblet cells

Function: sweeps debris out of lungs, goblet cells produce mucin histamine

Question 19

Keratin

Answer 19

Tough and waterproof protein that can be added to this layer.

Tissues that have this protein are called Keratinized

Question 20

Desquamification

Answer 20

Cells are dead they respond to friction by falling off. Takes friction swag from body

Question 21

Carcinoma

Answer 21

Any type of cancer to the epithelial tissue (skin cancer)

Question 22

Basal cell carcinoma

Answer 22

-looks like pimple that won’t go away

Usually cured

Question 23

Squamous cell carcinoma

Answer 23

-99% cure rate
Too much skin exposure
Cancer

Question 24

Malignant melanoma

Answer 24

Deadly cancer worst one

Genetic link

Question 25

Stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 25

Structure: flattened layers of cells Function: wear and terse tissue Made up of logs of low energy friction exposure to the environment; protect from fluid loss and invasion

Question 26

Stratford squamous epithelium

Answer 26

Location: makes up outer layer of skin and lines mouth throat vagina and anal canal

Question 27

Method of looking for skin cancer

Answer 27

A- asymmetry B-boarder C-color D-diameter

Question 28

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 28

Structure: two or three layers of cuboidal cells lining an open ring of larger glands (endocrine) Function: several layers of cells provide great protection than one single layer, secretors

Question 29

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 29

Location: mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas

Question 30

Stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 30

Structure: several layers of columnar cells Location: not located in very many places in he body Vas deferens (male reproductive) and parts of the pharynx, distal esophagus and cardiac sphincter

Question 31

Transitional epithelium

Answer 31

Distend and return to its normal size, as in lining of urinary bladder

Question 32

Cutaneous

Answer 32

Epithelium membrane Tarp over boat

Question 33

Mucous

Answer 33

Epithelial membrane Lines opening to outside (digestive tract, respiratory, ruminating, reproductive) Contain specialized cells that produce mucous

Question 34

Serous

Answer 34

Epithelial membrane 2 layered membrane w/ potential space in between

Question 35

Parietal

Answer 35

Lines walls of cavities Reduces friction between tissues and organs

Question 36

Visceral

Answer 36

Wraps around organs Reduces friction between tissues and and organs

Question 37

Squamous

Answer 37

Flat (squashed)
