MIDTERM 1 PART 2 Flashcards
Major function of the nucleus
Contains and replicates DNA
simple squamous epithelium function
mediators of filtration and diffusion
Apocrine location
Mammary gland, genital, axillary, and anal sweat glands
What is the importance of cytoplasm?
Houses organelles and is the site for physiological processes
Serous gland composition
Protein (RER and RNA)
What are some transport mechanisms that use the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis, endocytosis, & exocytosis
What is the appearance of microvilli?
Apical extensions of the cell membrane
What are the non-membranous organelles?
Cytoskeletal elements, ribosomes, and centrioles
Major function of peroxisomes
Degrades peroxide to water and oxygen
Which organelles are visible only by light microscopy?
Cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm
Which organelles are seen only with the EM?
All other organelles not seen in a light microscope
What structure is associated with terminal bars?
Cilia
Stratified squamous epithelium function
Hold up against constant abrasion
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium location
Skin and integumentary structures
Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium location
Linings opened to the outside, like the mouth, urethra, vagina, and anus
Stratified cuboidal epithelium (location)
Ducts of sweat glands; rare
Stratified columnar epithelium (location)
Conjunctiva of eye and large salivary ducts; rare
Glandular epithelium function
Produce and package secretions
Two types of product glands
Serous and mucous
Mucous gland composition
Mucous (goblet cells)
Seromucous tissue is commonly found in
Salivary glands
Steroid/Lipid secreting cell locations
Testes, adrenal glands, sebaecous glands
Three types of secretion glands
Merocrine/Eccrine, apocrine, and holocrine
Merocrine/Eccrine gland secretion
Granules leave the cell by exocytosis
Merocrine/Eccrine location
Sweat glands, exocrine, and pancreas
Apocrine gland secretion
Product is expelled with some cytoplasm
Holocrine secretion
Whole cell is expelled with the product
Holocrine location
Sebaceous gland (hair)
Fibrocyte
Quiescent fibroblast
Mast cell derivation
Basophil
Plasma cell derivation
B-lymphocytes
Collagen fibrils are arranged
outside the cell
What is elastin deposited on?
A scaffold of a glycoprotein called fibrillin
Name of fibrillin form found in dermis of skin, mesenteries, etc
Fibrillar
Name of fibrillin form found in larger arteries
Nonfibrillar
Ehrlers Danlos Syndrome
Super stretchy CT
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Weak bone
Regular dense CT
Collagen arranged linearly
Irregular dense CT
Collagen arranged haphazardly
Location of unilocular tissue
Everywhere except eyelids, penis, scrotum, and helix of ear
Thermogenic cell type in adipose tissue
Multilocular (brown tissue)
What stage of life is multilocular tissue most predominant?
Newborns
Elastic tissue is also known as
Areolar tissue
Elastic tissue locations
Ligamentum flava, suspensory ligament of penis, and tunica of large arteries
Ultimate stem cell for all things CT
Mesenchymal tissue
Location of mucous tissue
Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord and nucleus pulposus of IVD
Function of chondroblasts
Manufacture the matrix
