epithelial tissue (savannah) Flashcards
refer to groups of cells that are similar in
structure and function
Tissues
Types of tissues:
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
a type of animal tissue that forms the
inner and outer lining of organs, the covering in
surfaces, and the primary glandular tissue of the body
Epithelial tissue
Apical

Basal
Tight Junction (also called ____ _____)
occluding junction
- continuous intercellular barrier between epithelial cell.
Tight Junction (also called occluding junction)
Critical component of epithelial tissue, to main the
integrity and function of tissue.
Tight Junction (also called occluding junction)
It composed of different proteins/complex proteins to
help to seal diff. epithelial tissue
Tight Junction (also called occluding junction)
proteins of tight junction
occludin & claudin
molecules travel through tight
junction (semipermeable)
Paracellular
travel through cell
Transcellular
fingerlike structure, faster
absorption
Microvilli
found in small intestine
Microvilli
hairlike structure, motile
Cilia
specialize microvilli,
of its hairlike structure to form balance & hear
Stereocilia
found in ears,
Stereocilia
- most abundant tissues in the body
Connective tissue
Connective tissue - most non-vascularized like
tendons & ligaments
- vascularize (blood vessels & good blood supply)
Connective tissue
- rubber like protein, stretch and recoil
1) elastin fiber
- mesh-like structures
2) reticular fiber
