Q

What is the function of simple squamous epithelia?

A

They provide a barrier that fluids and gasses can be exchanged through, and produces serous fluid.

18
Q

Where are simple columnar epithelia found and what is their function?

A

Found in digestive tract, uterine tube, gallbladder and certain kidney tubules. They absorb and secrete while also propelling the egg through the uterine tube

19
Q

What epithelium is found in places that need to stretch (ex. bladder) and what does it do?

A

transitional epithelium

20
Q
A

Study through it!!

21
Q

What epithelium is found in the nasal cavity, male urethra, and upper respiratory passages, while secreting mucous and propelling it with ciliary motion? (Goblet cells)

A

Pseudostratified epithelia

22
Q

What is the difference between keratinized stratified squamous epithelia and non-keratinized?

A

Keratinized epithelia has dead cells at the apical layer, and prevents water loss through skin.

23
Q

Where is keratinized squamous epithelium found? Non-keratinized?

A

Keratinized is found in the skin (epidermis) and non-keratinized is found on the mouth, vagina, and anal canal.

24
Q

How do stratified squamous cells move upward?

A

Cuboidal or columnar cells at the bottom are pushed upward due to polarity and mitosis. As they move toward the apical layer, they lose cytoplasm and become squamous.

25
Q

Where are stratified cuboidal epithelia found?

A

The ducts of the salivary, mammary, and sweat glands

26
Q

What epithelia functions as protection while also secreting and absorbing substances?

A

Stratified columnar epithelia

27
Q

Endocrine glands produce_______, which are regulatory hormones released directly into the extracellular space.

A

Hormones

28
Q

Give an example of an endocrine gland.

A

Thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, ovary, parathyroid, testicle

29
Q

What are the different types of exocrine glands?

A

Unicellular and multicellular

30
Q
A

Me after failing even after making this long ass review

31
Q

What do unicellular exocrine glands do?

A

Secrete mucin using goblet cells

32
Q

Multicellular glands are ________ in __________.

A

covered; epithelium

33
Q

What are the major classes of connective tissue?

A

Connective tissue proper, cartilage, osseus (bone), and blood

34
Q

What makes connective tissue?

A

Extracellular matrix, vascularity (blood supply), structural elements (ground substance, extracellular fibers, and cells)

35
Q

What is the difference between the extracellular matrix and ground substance?

A

The extracellular matrix is found between cells and delivers nutrients, while ground substance is like a highway for cells to communicate and exchange waste and nutrients.

36
Q
A

I hate studying

37
Q

What fibers are found in tendons and ligaments and is resistant to pulling forces? (Looks like a handful of uncooked spaghetti)

A

Collagen Fibers

38
Q

What fibers are found in vocal cords, lungs, skin and blood vessels, lack tensile strength but can stretch and contract. (Coiled)

A

Elastic fibers (made of elastin)

39
Q

What fibers are composed of collagen and glycoprotein, and provide support around complex organs?

A

Reticular fibers

40
Q

What is a mesenchymal stem cell?

A

A cell that can transform into whatever cell is needed. Ex. chondroblast, osteoblast, tenoblast, or irregular connective tissue cell

41
Q

T/F Tendons hold bone to bone and limit movement

A

False; Tendons hold muscle to bone and enhance movement, while ligaments hold bone to bone and limit movement.

42
Q

Name the classes of cartilage

A

hyaline (articular), fibrocartilage (knee, pelvis, between vertebrae), and elastic (ears and epiglottis)

43
Q

Horse break

A

horse noises
