Ermelat P2 Flashcards
Site of phonation
Larynx
Epithelium of upper epiglottis
stratified squamous epithelium
Epithelium of olfactory
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
It is the first line of defense. It protects our body from infection, pathogens, and harmful UV radiation.
Protective function
Where is dermal papillae located?
Stratum Germinativum
Found in basal cell layer and function as touch receptors
Merkel cells
Stabilizes the skin
Hypodermis
Outermost, overlapping dead keratinized cells to form shiny surface
Cuticle
Pacemaker of the heart
SA node
What is found in arteries but is absent in veins?
Internal/External elastic cartilage
Used as communication of the cell in the immune system to coordinate defensive measures.
Cytokines
Molecule that is recognized by cells of adaptive immune system and elicits a response from these cells
Antigen
Refers to the ability of receptors on macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils to recognize and bind the Fc portions of antibodies attached to surface antigens of microorganisms.
Opsonization
Antibodies bound to antigens on virus-infected cells of the body are recognized by the primitive lymphocytes called NK cells
NK cell activation
Most abundant component of respiratory epithelium
Ciliated columnar cells
Secrete mucin and create protective mucus layer
Goblet cells
Epithelium of oropharynx
Stratified squamous epithelium
Epithelium of nasopharynx
Respiratory epithelium
Mushroom-shaped, occasional taste buds
Fungiform papilla
