22
Q

How abt keratinized

A

Superficial layer is rich in keratin with no nuclei, Skin

23
Q

Stratified Cuboidal epithelium

A

Uncommon, for excretory duct of exocrine glands

24
Q

Stratified columnar

A

Protection and secretion, uncommon

Larnyx, larger duct of exocrine gland, like mammary gland duct

25
Q

Transitional epithelium

A

ONly in urinary tract (ureter and urinary bladder)

26
Q

Psedostratified ciliated Columnar Epithelium

A

In human only respiratory tract

27
Q

Name 2 specialization at apical surface

A

Cilia and Microvilli

28
Q

Point out 2 differences between microvilli and cilia

A
  1. Microvilli is non-motile while cilia is motile
  2. Microvilli is made of actin filament inside while cilia contains an organized core of microtubules
29
Q

What is the significance of microvilli connecting to a network of filament below

A

To increase the distance between microvilli to increase surface area

30
Q

What is the arrangement of microtubules inside the cilia

A

9+2, 9doublet on side 2 at centre and Join the basal body

31
Q

What is the arrangement of microtubules inside the basal body

A

9+0 triplets arrangment pattern

32
Q

Name the 3 junctional complex

A

TIght junction (Zondula Occludents, ZO)

Adhering junction (Zondula Adherens, ZA)

Desmosomes

33
Q

What is the arrangement of ZO

A

A tight seal between adjacent cells, it restrict movement of substances and nearest to apical surface of cell

34
Q

What is the arrangement of ZA

A

It attaches both membrane protein and microfilament on cytoskeleton

Composing of cadherin which is transmembrane glycoprotein, binding with the terminal network of Actin within the cell and the cadherin on another cell

35
Q

What is the arrangement of Desmosomes

A

Interact with Keratin intermediate filament network

36
Q

Gap junction?

A

Composes of connectin which allows communcation and exchange of small molecules and ions between neighbouring cell

37
Q

Name 1 specialization at basal surface

A

Infolding, enhancing the surface area between epothelium and connective tissue beneath

38
Q

What are the nature of glands

A

Epithelial cells ingrowing into the connective tissue with the basement membrae remaining at the same position to separate epithelium and connective tissue.

39
Q

How to distinguish between endocrine glands and exocrine glands

A

Endocrine glands has no duct while exocrine has

40
Q

What are the Endocrine glands in human

A

pineal gland, thymus gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and the two adrenal glands

41
Q

What are the 3 categories of exocrine glands according to the product

A

Serous gland, mucous gland, mixed gland

42
Q

What are the characteristics of mucous gland

A

Flattened nuclei, secret glycoprotein (mucin), with PALE cytoplasm

E.g. Salivary gland

43
Q

What are the characteristics of Serous gland

A

Round Nuclei, secrets protein/enzyme (ie watery), basophilic staining (darker colour)

e.g. pancreas

44
Q

Is serous demilune what type of exocrine gland

A

Mixed, with serous cell arrangeed as a cap on mucous cell

45
Q

What are the 3 method of secretions

A

Merocrine, Apocrine, Holocrine

46
Q

Which of them consists of rupture of exocrine cell

A

Holocrine

47
Q

Which of them consist of loss of part of cytoplasm

A

Apocrine

48
Q

Which of them does not involve loss in cytoplasm and secretions leave by exocytosis

A

Merocrine (aka eccrine)

49
Q

What are the 2 categories an exocrine gland for the branching of duct

A

Simple, compound

50
Q

What are the 3 categories of exocrine duct accordng to shape of duct

A

tubular, acinar and aveolar

51
Q

What epithelium does duct has

A

Cuboidal

52
Q

What can be found on all epithelium contacting external world

A

Mucous membrane

53
Q

What is the difference between acinar and aveolar glands

A

An acinar gland duct has a small lumen while the alveolar gland duct has a large lumen.
