Exam 1 Review Flashcards
Epithelium Function
Protection, acting as barriers, permitting passage, secreting and absorbing substances
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Diffusion, filtration, some protection against friction, secretion, and absorption
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Secretion and absorption in the kidney, Secretion in glands and choroid plexus, Movement of mucus out of the terminal bronchioles by ciliated cells.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
protection against abrasion, caustic chemicals, water loss, and infection.
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
protection and secretion
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Synthesize and secrete mucus onto the free surface, Move mucus (or fluid) that contains foreign particles over the free surface and from passages
Transitional Epithelium
accommodates fluctuations in the volume of fluid in an organ or tube; protection against the caustic effects of urine
Types of Glands
- Endocrine: no open contact with exterior; no ducts; produce hormones
- Exocrine: open contact maintained with exterior; ducts
Glands Classification by Structure
Unicellular: Goblet cells
Multicellular
Glands Classification by method of secretion type
- Merocrine (sweat glands)
§ No loss of cytoplasm, secretes by active transport or exocytosis - Apocrine (mammary gland)
§ Fragments of the gland go into the secretion. Apex of cell pinches off - Holocrine (Sebaceous Gland)
§ Whole cell becomes part of secretion. Secretion accumulates in cell, cell ruptures and dies
Connective Tissue Funciton
§ Enclose organs as a capsule and separate organs into layers
§ Connect tissues to one another. Tendons and ligaments.
§ Support and movement. Bones.
§ Storage. Fat.
§ Cushion and insulate. Fat.
§ Transport. Blood.
§ Protect. Cells of the immune system.
Skeletal System Function
Support.
Protection. Movement.
Storage. Ca and P.
Blood cell production.
Perichondrium
double-layered connective tissue sheath covering most cartilage
articular cartilage
covers bones at joints; has no perichondrium
bone shapes
long, short, flat, irregular
