Histo - Cells Flashcards
Lymphocytes; cellular immunity
Paracortical region of lymph nodes
T-cells
Pancreas
produce insulin
B cells/Beta cells
Liver; macrophages
Kuppfer cells
Fundus of stomach
many types, but secrete anything from the stomach that is NOT pepsinogen, HCl, gastrin intrinsic factor, or acidic mucous
APUD cells
Crypts of Lieberkuhn (SI); heavy metal absorption
Contain IgA and IgG (regulate flora)
Contain lysozyme (break down bacterial walls)
Paneth cells
Crypts of Large Intestine; secrete mucous
Goblet cells
In tunica media of afferent arteriole (near glomerulus - kidney)
Function is still unknown
Extraglomerular mesangial cells
Lymphocytes; cellular immunity
destroy toxins and foreign substances
Cytotoxic C cells
Fundus of stomach
produce pepsinogen
Chief cells
Pancreas
produce glucagon and gastrin
A cells/Alpha Cells
Renal corpuscle (kidney); between endothelium Macrophages
Mesangial cells
Pyloris of stomach; protect from autodigestion
Mucous neck cells
Duodenum; secrete alkaline mucous
Mucous neck cells
Crypt of Lieberkuhn (SI); held together through tight junctions and desmosomes
Material absorbed THROUGH the cells
Absorptive cells
Fundus of stomach
secrete HCl and gastric intrinsic factor
Parietal cells
Lymphocytes; cellular immunity
secrete lymphokine; “SOS” response to call on Killer T cells
Helper T cells
Humoral immunity
Activate plasma cells to produce antibodies (which cause agglutination of cells and precipitation of soluble antigens)
B-cells
Crypts of Lieberkuhn; secrete mucous
Goblet cells
Alveoli (lung)
Secrete surfactant
Type II Pneumocytes
Renal corpuscle (kidney); form layer around glomerulus (visceral layer) Filtration slits between pedicels (which are secondary processes of cells)
Podocytes
Distal convoluted tubule (kidney)
Relays info about the osmolarity of fluids in the DCT
Regulates the rate of glomerular filtration
Macula densa cells
CT
Inactive fibroblast
Fibrocyte
In tunica media of afferent arteriole (near glomerulus - kidney)
Renin granules in cytoplasm
Regulate blood pressure
Juxtaglomerular cells
