Lab Final Flashcards
Uterus Menstrual
Phase 1
epithelium and cellular structure is gone
Gastrointestinal system: Pancreas
Exocrine
The portion of the pancreas that makes and secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum. The exocrine components comprise more than 95% of the pancreatic mass.
Uterus Secretory
Phase 3
jagged
Uterus Proliferative
phase 2
entatct epithelium- round to oval shaped
Gastrointestinal system: Gall Bladder
The lamina propria is a thin layer of loose CT, which together with the epithelium, forms the mucosa. The muscularis is a layer of smooth muscular tissue that helps the gallbladder contract and squirt its bile into the bile duct.
Small vs Large Intestine
Velvety tissue lines the small intestine, which is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The colon absorbs water from wastes, creating stool
Adipose description
loose fibrous connective tissue packed with many cells (called “adipocytes”). Each adipocyte cell is filled with a single large droplet of triglyceride (fat).
Cuboidal Epithelium
Location: lining of kidney tubules, ducts of glands, germinal surface of ovary, thyroid parafollicular cells
Columnar Epithelium
Location: lines digestive tract, gallbladder, lining of uterus
Jejunum which is in small intestine
Smooth Muscle
No striations
involuntary
Small intestine
The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs,
A distinctive feature of the jejunum and ileum is the lack of glands in the submucosa. The mucosa is characterized by numerous fingerlike villi that protrude into the lumen of the intestine.
Endocrine system: Adrenal Gland
elating to or denoting a pair of ductless glands situated above the kidneys. Each consists of a core region ( adrenal medulla ) secreting:
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine, and an outer region (adrenal cortex) secreting corticosteroids.
Elastic cartilage
Resembles hyaline cartilage in its chondrocytes, but it’s matrix includes abundant elastic fibers
Location: ear, epiglottis
Endocrine System: Pituitary
major endocrine gland. A pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain, the pituitary is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands.
Respiratory: Trachea
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Four layers of tissues make up the walls of the trachea: The mucosa is the innermost layer and consists of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with many goblet cells.
Renal System: Urethra
Stratified Squamous
Dense Irregular CT
Dense irregular CT has fibers that are NOT arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue. Dense irregular CT consists of mostly collagen fibers. It has less ground substance than loose CT.
Location: dermis of the skin, the walls of large tubular organs, glandular tissue, and in organ capsules.
Testes
Endocrine system: Pancreas
Although it is primarily an exocrine gland, secreting a variety of digestive enzymes, the pancreas has an endocrine function. Its pancreatic islets—clusters of cells formerly known as the islets of Langerhans—secrete the hormones glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP)
Exocrine pancreas, the portion of the pancreas that makes and secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum.
Gastrointestinal system: Liver
The liver is an accessory digestive gland that produces bile
Each lobule is made up of millions of hepatic cells (hepatocytes), which are the basic metabolic cells.
The lobules are held together by a fine, dense, irregular, fibroelastic connective tissue layer which extends from the fibrous capsule covering the entire liver known as Glisson’s capsule.
Endocrine system: Pancreas: Photo of Islets of Langerhans
Dense Regular CT
Crowded between the collagen fibers are rows of fibroblasts, fiber-forming cells, that generate the fibers. Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments. Look like parallel lines
Location: tendons and ligaments
Ovary
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane
Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
