Lecture 8: Epithelial and glands Flashcards
Terminal Bar
Basal membrane
Anchors epthelium to connective tissue
Basal Membrane location
Between Connective tissue
Basal Lamina
Attachment site for overlying epithelial cells and underlying connective tissue
Contains:
- Laminins
- IV collagen
- Proteoglcans and glycoproteins
2 layers:
1) Lamina lucida
2) Lamina densa
External Lamina
Basal lamina in nonepithelial cells
Endocrine Glands
Exocrine Glands (Modes)
Endocrine Glands:
-Secretes products (hormones) into connective tissue and then enters the bloodstream
Exocrine Glands: Secretes directly onto a surface or through a duct connected to a surface
Exocrine Modes:
1) Metrocrine- Exocytosis of membrane bound vesicles
2) Apocrine- Release at apical surface of plasma membrane
3) Holocrine- Cell death, releases secretory products and cell debris (Ex: explosion)
Identify difference between mucous and serous glands
See lecture slides
Zonula Occludens (tight junctions)
Sealing of plasma membrane of adjacent cells, separating luminal space from intercellular space and connective tissue
Borders apical cell
Controls passage of molecules between them (AT TOP)
Cell signaling
Contains transmembrane proteins:
1) Occuldens
2) Claudlens
Zonula Adherens
Couples the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane
(Cell to cell adhesion, attaching cells)
-CALCIUM DEPENDENT
Transmembrane proteins:
-E-cadherins
Macula Adherens (Desmosomes)
Couples INTERMEDIATE FILAMENT to the plasma membrane
(Cell to cell adhesion)
-Calcium dependent
- Transmembrane proteins:
1) Desmocollin
2) Desmoplakins
Gap junction
Created channel between two cells that allows for passage of small ions and micromolecules
(IN ZONULA ADHERENS)
- Transmembrane proteins:
1) connexons
2) Connexin (6 = 1 connexon)
Basal infoldings
Increases surface area for basal domains
Allows more transport of ions and proteins to be present and active transport of molecules
Lateral Digitations
Increases cell surface
Fluid and electrolyte transport
Found in gallbladder
Utilizes Na+/K+ atpase
Focal Adhesions
Anchors actin cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix
Detects and transduces signals from outside the cell
- Contains transmembrane proteins:
1) integrins
-Involved in cell migration
Simple Squamous
Flat
Lubrication, exchange barrier
Where:
- Lining of the heart
- Respiratory tracts
- Lining of body caveties
Simple cubodial
Cube
Absorption, barrier, secretion
Where:
- Kidneys
- Hepatocytes
- Thyroid
- Ovary
- Exocrine
