Epithelium Flashcards
Characteristics to classify epithleium
- number of layers
- cell shape’-presence of specializations
simple epithelium
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
stratified
squamous nonkeratinized
cuboidal
columnar
keratinized
psuedostratified
columnar
transitional
transitional relaxed
transitional distended
simple squamous
function-blood brain barrier, filtration, exchange
simple cuboidal
locations-thyroid, renal tubules, ducts of glands
functions-absorption, secretion, barrier, conduit
simple columnar non cilated
locations-stomach, intestine
functions- absorption, secretion, barrier
simple columnar ciliated
locations-uterine tubes
functions- absorption, secretion, barrier
pseudostratified columnar ciliated
locations-trachea, bronchi, ducts of male reprod sys
functions- secretion, absorption, barrier, transport
stratified squamous nonkeratinized
locations-esophagus, distal anal canal, vagina
functions- barrier, protection
stratified squamous keratinized
locations-epidermis
function-barrier, protection
transitional urothelium
locations-ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
functions-barrier, protection, distension
primary monocilium nonmotile
chemosensors, osmoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, mediate light, taste, sound perception, pivitol role in normal tissue morphogenesis
general blueprint for junctional complex
cytoskeletal elements
Intracellular anchor proteins
CAMs [transmembrane adhesion proteins]
