Exam 1 Flash Cards
- The primary tissue type that covers most surfaces internally and externally
Epithelial tissue
- An epithelial tissue function of skin and mucous membranes
protection from irritants
- A primary function of epithelial tissue lining the small intestines
absorption of nutrients
- A primary function of epithelial tissue found in the glomerulus of kidneys
filtration of blood plasma
- An epithelial tissue function demonstrated by glands
secretion of enzymes, hormones, and fluids
- Epithelial tissue structure of one layer of cells
simple epithelium
- Epithelial tissue structure with more than one layer of cells
stratified epithelium
- Falsely stratified structure of epithelial tissue is called
pseudostratified epithelium
- Flat or disc like shape of epithelial cells
Squamous epithelium
Square like shape of epithelial cells
cuboidal epithelium
Tall shape of epithelial cells
columnar epithelium
Epithelial tissue structures that move material
cilia
- Epithelial cells that may appear squamous at one time and then cuboidal at another time are referred to as
transitional epithelium
Epithelial tissue structures that increase surface area
microvilli
Cells that may be associated with epithelial tissue that secrete mucus
goblet cells
Function of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
protection from abrasion, moisture loss, and irritants
Location of simple columnar with microvilli epithelium
stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, as well as the gall bladder and Fallopian tubes, and uterus in the female reproductive system
Location of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Respiratory tract and nasal cavity
Location of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
epidermis/ skin
Location of transitional epithelium
urinary bladder
Vertical plane dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts
coronal
Horizontal plane dividing the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom)
parts
transverse
Vertical plane dividing the body into equal left and right halves
midsagittal
Parallel to midsagittal, but left or right of midsagittal; divides structure
into unequal portions
sagittal plane
