Epithelium Flashcards
What is the histological name of respiratory epithelium?
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What type of tissue lines sub-tracheal glands?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
What type of tissue lines the bronchus?
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What type of tissues lines bronchioles?
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What tissue lines terminal bronchioles?
Starts as Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium, transitions to Ciliated simple columnar epithelium, and finally to simple squamous epithelium in the alveoli.
What types of tissue lines the alveoli?
Simple squamous epithelium
What type of tissue lines the esophagus?
Stratified squamous epithelium
How can you distinguish the stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus from the simple squamous of the epidermis and vagina?
Differs from the epidermis in not having multiple layers
Differs from vagina in not having light stained glycogen saturated epithelium
What type of cells line the distal convoluted tubule?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
What type of cells line the proximal convoluted tubule?
Simple cuboidal epithelium with a brush border.
What type of cells make up the macula densa?
Modified simple cuboidal epithelium
What cells make up the visceral layer of bowman’s capsule?
Simple squamous epithelium with podocytes.
What structures make up the renal corpuscle?
Bowman’s capsule and the glomularis.
What cells make up the parietal layer of bowman’s capsule?
Simple squamous epithelium with tight junctions.
What cells make up the epithelium of the thin portion of the loop of henle?
Simple squamous epithelium
What cells make up the lining of the capillaries of the vasa recta?
Simple squamous epithelium
What cells line the collecting ducts in the medulla of the kidney?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
What is endothelium?
Simple squamous epithelium which lines the inside of the entire circulatory system.
What are the layers that surround a blood vessel?
The tunica intima, composed of connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium
Tunica media, smooth muscle
Tunica adventitia, connective tissue layer
What cells make up the vestibular membrane?
Simple squamous epithelium
What are tectorial hair cells?
Modified bipolar neurons or modified stereocilia.
What cells make up the outer epithelial layer of the cornea?
Highly modified stratified squamous epithelium
What cells make up the intermediate connective tissue layer of th cornea?
Highly modified dense collage nous connective tissue regularly arranged
What cells make up the inner epithelium of the cornea?
Highly modified simple squamous epithelium
What is the epithelium of the esophagus?
Stratified squamous epithelium
What is the epithelium of the stomach?
Simple columnar epithelium
What is the epithelium of the small intestine?
Simple columnar epithelium with a striated border
What is the epithelium of the appendix?
Simple columnar epithelium with a striated border
What is the epithelium of the large intestine and how can it be distinguished from the small?
Simple columnar epithelium
Distinguished by the large number of goblet cells and invaginations, rather than evaginations, that reach all the way to the lamina propria
What is the epithelium of the oviduct?
Ciliated simple columnar epithelium
What is the epithelium of the uterine endometrium?
Simple columnar eptithelium
What is the epithelium of the vagina?
Stratified squamous epithelium with vaginal glands
What is the epithelium of the epididymis?
Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What is the epithelium of the vas deferens?
Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Though the nearer the outlet of the vas deferens you are, there is a transition to simple columnar
What is the epithelium of the ureter?
Transitional or uroepithelium
What is the epithelium of the urethra?
Transitional or uroepithelium, transitioning to simple squamous epithelium as you get closer to the urethra’s exit from the body.
