Histo Flashcards
Gap junctions use what protein
connexin
Occludin
Tight junctions
Strong attachment to neighboring cells
Why do serous stain darker?
they are water-based/hydrophillic
Microvillus do what?
increase absorption
What do seromucous look like?
white in the middle with dark border
Stereocilia/stereovillus
unsuually long microvillus made of actin
increase SA for absorption/secretion
flagella
modified cilia the help to move sperm
OCCULUDIN JUNCTION
IMPERMEABLE, ALLOW CELLS TO FX AS A BARRIER
TIGHT JUNCTIONS
INCREASE IN number of occluding junction does what to permability
decrease
anchoring junctions do what?
link cytoskeleton to adjacent cells
zonula adherens
interacts with the network of actin filaments in the cell
macula adherens
interacts with INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
simple squamous
location
fx
location: endothelium, mesothelium
exchange, barrier and lubricate
simple cuboidal
location
fx
location kidneys, bronchioles
ABS (absorp, barrier and secrete)
Simple columnar
location
fx
SI/GI tract, uterus
absorb and secret
