45
Q

four characteristics of epithelium? What do they mean?

A
  1. cellularity = adjacent epithelial cells are joined by specialized junctions (four types: tight, adhering, desmosomes, gap)
  2. polarity = an epithelial cell has an exposed surface that faces the exterior of the body of internal space as well as a basal surface where is it attached to the underlying tissue
  3. attachment = attached to the basal lamina (basement membrane)

58
Q

what is transitional epithelium?

  • characteristic feature = domed shaped surface cells
  • in the urinary bladder - change shape as urine accumulates
59
Q

which kind of epithelium has the characteristic of dome shaped surface cells?

A

transitional

60
Q

what is pseudostratified epithelium?

A

a single layer of cells with the cell nuclei positioned in a manner suggestive of stratified epithelium
