Lec 3-4 - Renal Flashcards
Epithelial cells that line blood vessels, tubules, air sacs of lungs
Simple squamous
Outer layer of the skin or outer layer of the cornea type of epithelium
Stratified squamous
Most important epithelial cell in kidney tubules
Simple cuboidal
Function of simple cuboidal epithelia
Secrete and reabsorb water
These line most digestive organs
Simple columnar
Mammary glands, larynx, epididymis type of epithelium
Stratified columnar
Thin descending and ascending limb are lined by blank epithelium
Simple squamous
Epithelial cells can blank form an epithelium
Spontaneously
Know steps of absorption and reabsorption
Ok
Protective carbohydrate layer on top of microvilli often times
Glycocalyx
Presence of myosin and tropomyosin in the blank makes the apical domain contractile
Terminal web
All renal epithelia except blank cells have cilia
Intercalated
Role of renal cilia is to
Sense flow in the renal cells
Junction that prevents things getting into basolateral surface from apical
Tight juntions (zonula occludens)
Belts of proteins coming together at tight junctions are called blank
Claudins
