Histology and Embryology Part 1 Flashcards
Cells
Smaalest Structures and e3lf contained units
Differentiation
recognize eachother and group togerher
ORganization of chemicals
Appear in early development of embryo
Desmosomes
Cell to Cell. Ameloblasts attach to cells straified squamous epithelium
Tight Junctions
cell to cell. Cell membrane fused together. Adjacent odontoblasts
Gap Junction
cell to cell with channel in between for communicaiton and impulses and passage of molecules
Hemidesmosomes
Cell to non cell attachments
Cell Membrane
Protects cell from external environment. Selectively permeable.
Bipolar membrane and nonpolar lipids on the inside.
Pospholipids
Cytoplasm
gel enclosed in the cell
Nucleus
Controls cell function
Store genetic information in chromosomes
Largest and densest structure
Nucleolus produces RNA
Most sensitive to radiation
Lysosomes
Instracellular digestion and extracellular digestion
Golgi
Secretion of proteins made by ER to external environment. Membrane formation and recycling
Storage for newly made proteins
Synthesis of lysosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER has ribosomes and does protein synthesis
Smooth ER does steriod synthesis
Ribosomes
Small granules of RNA that lead to protein production
Mitochondria
Source of Energy and breaks down nutrients to ATP
Epthelial Tissue
Made up of Keratinocytes and replicates through mitosis
Functions of Epithelial Cells
Protection: Covers the outside of the body
Absorption: forms linig of all inner surfaces
Secretion: Forms glands
Epithelial Cell Specializations
Microvilli involved in absorption
Cilia: Surface transportation
Granular Tissue
most of glands develop from elithelial tissue
Exocrine Glands: have ducts and carry secretions
Endocrine Glands: do not have ducts and secrete hormones into blood stream
Surface Epithelium
Classified by shape and number of cell layers
Simple
Only one layer usually blood vessel or lymph vessel lining
