3 types of cell junctions
Tight Anchoring Gap
2 types of epithelial tissues
Covering + Lining Glandular
What are some functions of epithelial cells
Protection. Filtration. Lubrication. Secretion. Digestion. Absorption. transportation. Excretion. Reception. Reproduction
Absorption & filtration are what type of E.cells
simple
What are many layers of E.cells called
Stratified
What is a pseudo-stratified e cell?
1 layer of cells with un-even arrangement (stratified appearance)
What are the 4 shapes of E. cells
Squamous. Cuboidial. Columnar. Transitional
What is a flat, scale like E cell called
Squamous
That is unique about a transitional E cell?
Changes shape based on torsion, twisting and stretching
Can simple be tranistional?
No
What type of E cell mostly works with diffusion, osmosis and filtration?
Simple Squamous= SS
What is the definition of the Endothelium?
is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.[1] The endothelium forms an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. Endothelial cells form the barrier between vessels and tissue and control the flow of substances and fluid into and out of a tissue
What does Serous mean?
any body fluid resembling serum
E. layer of cells in the serous membranes are called?
Mesothelium
Absorption of fluids and secretion of substances requires what type of E cells
Simple Cuboidal
