16
Q

Cilia

A

Prevents secretion and absorption

Helps move fluids through tissues

17
Q

Pseudo stratified function

A

Tissue protection

Involved in secretion

18
Q

Keratinized stratified

A

Surface has dead squamous cells packed with keratin protein

19
Q

Keratinized stratified

A

Decreases water movement protects against microorganisms epidermis

20
Q

Non-keratinized

A

No surface layer of dead cells

21
Q

Exocrine glands

A

Maintain connection to the surface with a duct

Epithelial tube

22
Q

Endocrine gland

A

Have no duct

Secrete their products directly into the blood stream

23
Q

Name the 2 types of Exocrine Glands

A

Simple (unbranched duct)

Compound (branched duct)

24
Q

Exocrine gland shapes

A

Tubular (long tubes)
Acinar (sacs)
Tubuloacinar (both)

25
Q

Exocrine gland structure

A

Stroma
Septa
Parenchyma

26
Q

Secretion glands (3)

A

Serous glands
Mucous glands
Mixed glands

27
Q

Serous glands

A

Thin, watery secretions

28
Q

Mucous gland

A

Mucin (glycoprotein) is produced

Absorbs to water to from mucous

29
Q

Mixed gland

A

Both serous and mucous cells

30
Q

How they release their substances?

A

Merocrine
Apocrine
Holocrine

31
Q

Merocrine

A

The cell remains intact

32
Q

Apocrine

A

Top (apical) portion of the cell is released

33
Q

Holocrine

A

Cell is destroyed as it releases its products

34
Q

Sebaceous glands

A

Secrete oil are holocrine glands

35
Q

4 main Connective tissues

A

Connective tissue proper
Cartilage
Osseous
Blood

36
Q

Stratified cuboidal location?

A

Ducts of sweat glands, ovarian follicles, and seminiferous tubules

37
Q

Stratified columnar location

A

Lines parts of the urethra and esophageal gland

38
Q

Transitional epithelium location

A

Ureter and bladder

39
Q

Transition epithelium function

A

Stretching allows filling of tissue
