Q

How does sensory reception work in epithelial cells?

A

Some epithelial cells have hair which sends signals to the brain to let it know if there is something amiss

Q

How does Basal Lamina work?

A

acts as an adhesive sheet beneath that Basal surface to join the epithelial with connective tissue (most of the time it’s epithelial)

Q

What does it mean when epithelial tissue is “avascular, but innervated?”

A

It means that it does not have it’s own blood supply but it get a supplied with plenty of nerves

21
Q

How does epithelial tissue have high regenerative capacity even though it is avascular?

A

Although it is avascular, it gets its nutrients and oxygen from nearby blood vessels.

22
Q

How is epithelial tissue classified?

A

Arrangement of layers & Cell shape

23
Q

What are the names of the different types of arrangement of layers for epithelium tissue?

A

Simple, Pseudostratified, Stratified

24
Q

What do simple epithelium look like?

A

One layer; apical and basal surface aligned and in direct contact with the basement membrane

25
Q

What is simple epithelium tissue’s function?

A

Helps with passing substances because of thinness and absorption and secretion

26
Q

What do Pseuodostratified epithelial tissue look like?

A

Single layered and all cells are in contact with basement membrane

27
Q

What is the function of pseudostratified epithelial tissue?

A

Protection and passing substances through; absorption and secretion

28
Q

What is pseudostratified epithelial tissue common in?

A

It’s common in the respiratory system

29
Q

What do stratified epithelial tissue look like?

A

Multiple layers of cells; not all the cells touch the basement membrane

30
Q

What is the function of stratified epithelial tissue?

A

Protection; difficult to penetrate it

31
Q

What are the names of the cell shapes for epithelial cells?

A

Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar

32
Q

Squamous cells look like?

A

Flat looking cells

33
Q

Cuboidal cells look like?

A

Cube-looking cells

34
Q

Columnar cells look like?

A

Long, skinny and tall cells

35
Q

What’s common for epithelial arrangement layers to have?

A

It’s common for them to have two different cell shapes

36
Q

What does more layers mean for epithelial tissue?

A

More thicker = More protection

37
Q

What does a single layer of epithelial tissue allow for?

A

Easy access for substances to pass

38
Q

What are the only two epithelial tissues that are single layered?

A

Simple and Pseudostratified

39
Q

How are cilia helpful?

A

Found on the apical surface of some epithelial tissue; moves substances or involved in sensation

40
Q

What is a simple squamous?

A

A very thin epithelial tissue

41
Q

Where are simple squamous epithelium found?

A

Areas where absorption/secretion is important - i.e. walls of blood vessels or walls of air sacs

42
Q

What does a simple squamous look like if you were to describe it?

A

Simple arrangement of layers (single layered) & flat looking cells - every cell is in contact with the basement membrane

43
Q

What is stratified squamous?

A

A very thick epithelial tissue

44
Q

Where can you commonly find stratified squamous epithelium?

A

Areas where protection is important - i.e. SKIN

45
Q

What’s unique about stratified squamous epithelium

A

Closer to basement membrane there are cuboidal cell shapes and top there are flattened squamous cells

46
Q

How many different types of cells can glands be created by?

A

Consist of one cell or multiple cells

47
Q

What are the functions of glandular epithelium?

A

Make or secrete particular substances

48
Q

What are the two types of gland and how do they differ?

A

Endocrine (substances are secreted into the bloodstream) & Exocrine (substances are secreted through ducts to their destination)

49
Q

Which one of the two glands are more controlled

A

Exocrine - it travels through ducts to get it’s destination; endocrine releases it into the bloodstream so it can practically go anywhere

50
Q

How do endocrine glands function?

A

Epithelial cells that produce the hormone surround the storage site. When it’s ready to diffuse, there are blood vessels nearby outside the epithelial to take the hormones into the bloodstream

51
Q

How do exocrine glands function?

A

A bunch of epithelial cells form around the duct that collects the substance and when it’s ready to go, the substance goes through the duct and onto the body’s surface
