Q

What are 6 functions of Epithelial tissue?

A
  1. ) Secretion- thinking of the stomach, some of these cells produce secretions
  2. ) Absorption- thinking about intestinal epithelial (absorbs nutrients)
  3. ) Filtration- thinking about the kidney filtering the blood
  4. ) Excretion- although we filter the blood there is still stuff in the blood that we need to pull out and excrete
  5. ) Transport- some epithelium have cilia in order to transport (repiratory tract and mucus)
  6. ) Protection- multiple layers of cells for chemical, mechanical and bacterial protection (skin)

55
Q

Describe Zonula Occludens

A

Also know as tight junctions.

otype of occluding junction

ofound closest to apical surface

otransmembrane proteins (occludins and claudins) fuse outer surfaces of adjacent membranes together sealing off the intercellular space

oforms a continuous band around the cell which is impermeable, thus it limits the movement of substances between luminal space and tissue compartments via the intercellular space

odiffusion barrier between cells

ogives the “barrier” characteristic to epithelial tissue; for items to get across now they must be actively transported via the specialized membrane proteins of epithelial cells

oalso prevents integral membrane proteins movement between domains

oprovide only limited resistance to mechanical stresses

56
Q

A

occludin (part of zonula occludens) also know at tight junctions

57
Q

Describe Zonula Adherens

A

o a type of anchoring junction

o provide mechanical stability by linking cytoskeleton of one cell to the cytoskeleton of the next; great for resisting separation

o forms a continuous band around the cell

o microfilaments (actin) of the first cell attach to a plaque on the inside of its plasma membrane; this plaque is attached to transmembrane protein (cadherin) which crosses the plasma membrane of the first cell and attaches to the cadherin of an adjacent cell; this second cell’s cadherin crosses its plasma membrane where it attaches to a plaque just on the inside of the plasma membrane; this plaque is attached to the microfilaments (actin) of the second cell; thus connecting cytoskeleton of one cell to the next.

58
Q

59
Q

Describe Macula Adherens

A

Also known as Desmosome

oa type of anchoring junction

oprovide mechanical stability by linking cytoskeleton of one cell to the cytoskeleton of the next; great for resisting separation

oforms spot welds; not continuous around cell; localized

ointermediate filaments of the first cell attach to a plaque on the inside of its plasma membrane; this plaque is attached to transmembrane protein (cadherin) which crosses the plasma membrane of the first cell and attaches to the cadherin of an adjacent cell; this second cell’s cadherin crosses its plasma membrane where it attaches to a plaque just on the inside of the plasma membrane; this plaque is attached to the intermediate filaments of the second cell; thus connecting cytoskeleton of one cell to the next.

60
Q

What structure is shown?

A

61
Q

What are Gap juntions?

A

othese are communicating junctions

otransmembrane proteins are in the form of a protein tunnel called a connexon

othe connexon of one cell lines up with the connexon of the next cell allowing the cells to exchange ions and small molecules; these items can diffuse from the cytosol of one cell to the cytosol of the next.

oallows communication between cells; this is especially important in tissues were the activity of the cells need to be coordinated.

  1. Lamina Lucida
  2. Lamina Densa

But lamina lucida does not exist.

65
Q

What is a focal adhesion?

A

oa type of anchoring junction

olooks somewhat similar to a zonula adherens junction, but it doesn’t link adjacent cells

olinks the cell to the basal lamina; specifically it anchors microfilaments (actin) of the cytoskeleton of a cell to the basal lamina

oactin filaments are attached to extracellular matrix glycoproteins (ex. laminin and fibronectin) in the basal lamina via integrins (the transmembrane protein used here)

ofunctional role in signal detection and transmitting signals from the extracellular environment into the interior of the cell; mechanosensitivity

66
Q

What is a hemidesmosome?

A

oa type of anchoring junction

olooks somewhat similar to a desmosome, but it doesn’t link adjacent cells

olinks the cell to the basal lamina; specifically it anchors intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton to the basal lamina

ointermediate filaments are attached to laminin and type IV collagen in the basal lamina via integrins (the transmembrane protein used here)

ofound in epithelia subject to abrasion and mechanical shearing forces; useful for keeping the epithelium from separating from the underlying connective tissue

67
Q

What are some of the components of the basal domain?

89
Q

Exocrine glands can be classified based on the mode of secretion. There are three classes:

A

A.Merocrine Glands

B. Holocrine Glands

C. Apocrine Glands

90
Q

How do merocrine glands secrete their products?

A

Merocrine glands sercrete products via exocytosis, most common form of secretion in body

91
Q

How do holocrine glands secrete their products?

A

Apocrine glands secrete products via cell death. They accumulate their product then undergo apoptosis. They rupture. It is the cytoplasm, dead cell parts, and secretion.

92
Q

How do Apocrine glands secrete their products?

A

Apocrine glands secrete products via accumulate in apical part of cell, then cell pinches off. So you get some cytoplasm. There is a debate whether or not this occurs in the human body. Mammary gland is closest thing to it.
