Epithelium Flashcards
What are the 4 basic tissue types
CT
epithelial
muscle
nervous
All the adult tissues are from what 3 germ layers
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
All adult tissues form during the proccess of?
gastrulation
Ectoderm derivatives include
Surface ectoderm: -epidermis -hair -cornea and lens Neuroectoderm: -neural tube- CNS -neural crest-PNS- glial cells, pigment cells
Mesoderm derivatives
- heart
- BV
- spleen
- kidney
Endoderm derivates
-epithelial lining of resp system, digestive system, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, thymus
Function of epitheium
protection (skin) absorption transportation secretion reception
types of epithelia
surface/lining epithelia -external surfaces, body cavities(mesophylium), body tubes
epithelial tissue characteristics
avascular
exhibit polarity- specific cell surface and those regions have modifications
close cell aposition- for protection
free surface - the air, lumen of digestive tract
basal surface in contact with basal lamina
Epitheliod
lack free surface (lack surface connection/location)
typical of endocrine glands/cells
Classifying epithelial is done
based on morphology not fxn
number of cell layers - simple=1, stratified=
which cell shape can undergo keratinization
squamous
Location of simple squamous
surfaces involved in a diffusion of gasses or fluids
lining of BV
lining of the peritoneal covering of organs
what is the fxn of endothelium
controls blood fluidity,platelet aggregation, vascular tone
what is the fxn of mesothelium
parietal -forms membrane that lines body cavities -peritoneal, pleural, pericardial visceral -covers outer surface of internal organs secrete lubricant
