Q

Characteristics of epithelial tissue cells

A
  1. Cells have polarity

Q

All epithelia have two kinds of surfaces. What are they?

A

Apical- exposed to exterior ( microvilli, cilia)

Basal- Exposed to internal organs (glycoproteins, collagen), acts as a filter, repairs wounds

Q

The tight junctions and desmosomes of the specialized cell in the epithelium do what?

A

A

Stratified squamous epithelia

34
Q

The outer layer contains keratin

A

Stratified squamous epithelia

35
Q

Quite rare in the body, mostly found in the ducts of some larger glands (sweat, mammary). Typically had two layers of cuboidal cells

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

36
Q

Has limited distribution in the body. Small amounts are found in the pharynx, the male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts

A

Stratified columnar epithelium

37
Q

forms the lining of the hollow urinary organs, which stretch as they fill with urine

A

Transitional epithelium

38
Q

scattered within epithelial sheets.

A

unicellular glands

39
Q

form by invagination of epithelial sheet into the underlying connective tissue

A

multicellular glands

40
Q

often called ductless glands because they eventually lose their ducts

A

Endocrine glands

41
Q

produce hormones, messenger chemicals they secrete by exocytosis directly into extracellular space

A

Endocrine glands

42
Q

Secrete their products onto body surfaces or in body cavities

A

Exocrine glands

43
Q

The unicellular exocrine glands secrete by _____ while the multicellular glads do so via an ______________ that transports the secretion to the surface

exocytosis

epithelium walled duct

A

Reticular fibers

61
Q

Loose connective tissue proper includes

A

areolar, adipose and reticular

62
Q

because of its loose nature, it provides a reservoir of water and salts for surrounding body tissues always holding as much fluid as entire blood streams

A

Areolar connective tissue

63
Q

soaks up excess fluids like a sponge, the area becomes swelled causing in endema

A

Areolar connective tissue

64
Q

serves as a universal packing material between other tissues

A

Areolar connective tissue

65
Q

contains closely packed bundles of collagen fibers running in the same direction, parallel to the direction of pull with great resistance to tension

A

Dense regular connective tissue

66
Q

forms tension, ligaments, fascia

A

Dense regular connective tissue

67
Q

Bundles of collagen fibers are much thicker and theya re arranged irregularly. They run more in one plane

A

Dense irregular connective tissue

68
Q

Found in the skin as the leathery dermis and forms fibrous joint capsules and fibrous coverings that surround some organs (kidneys, bones, cartilages, muscles, and nerves)

A

Dense irregular connective tissue

69
Q

The predominant cell type growing in cartilage

A

Chondroblasts

70
Q

Lacks nerve fibers and is avascular

A

Cartilage

71
Q

Three varieties of cartilage

A
  1. Hyaline cartilage
  2. elastic cartilage
  3. fibrocartilage
72
Q

The most abundant cartilage in the bodt

A

Hyaline

73
Q

Has an exceptional ability to support and protect the body

A

Bone tissue

74
Q

Highly cellular, well vascularized tissues that are responsible for most types of body movement

A

Muscle tissues

75
Q

an organ system consisting of keratinized stratifies squamous epithelium firmly attached to a think layer of connective tissue

A

Cutaneous membrane
