Module 7 Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Forms coverings protecting the body from the outside world. Found wherever tissues meet the outside world. REMEMBER LUMEN OF THE GUT TUBE IS “OUTSIDE” Ex: Urinary, Respiratory, & reproductive. ( object 1)
Connective Tissue
holds structure of body. Ex: bone cartilage, tendons, blood (objective 1)
Muscular tissue
moves body parts. (objective 1)
Nervous tissue
Sensation, information processing, and control of body parts. EX: brain and spinal cord, ganglia and nerves. (objective 1)
(Epithelia cells have two surfaces)
Apical surface:
Basal surface:
Apical surface: that faces the outside world
Basal surface: (base like basement) that rests on, and is attached to, the basement membrane. (objective 2)
Basement Membrane:
has two thin layers each called a Lamina. the basal lamina and the reticular lamina (objective 2).
What are the two layers of the Lamina (basement membrane)?
basal lamina and the reticular lamina (objective 2)
Basal Lamina:
Reticular Lamina:
Basal Lamina: nearest the epithelial cells
Reticular Lamina: is a bit deeper. (objective 2)
Beneath the basement membrane is what?
A layer of Connective tissue. (objective 2)
What is also found in the Connective tissue?
blood vessels and nerves (objective 2)
Why is there limited intracellular space?
Different junctions in between to facilitate whatever tissue. (objective 2)
Intracellular Vs. Intercellular
intracellular: inside
Intercellular: space between cells (objective 2)
Arrangment of Epithelia tissue:
Simple:
Pseudostratified:
Stratified:
Simple: One layer. All cells come in contact with basement membrane
Pseudostratified:All cells in contact with basement membrane but appears to have layers
Stratified: Two or more layers. Only basal layer in contact with basement membrane. (objective 3)
Shapes Of Epithelia tissue:
Squamous:
Cuboidal:
Columnar:
Squamous: Flat, wide, “fried egg like,” “paving stone” cells
Cuboidal: Cells as tall as they are wide.
Columnar: Cells taller than they are wide (objective 3)
How many combinations of cell arrangements are there?
if different shapes present, always named by?
- named by: shapes of cells in apical layer. (out most layer)
(read paragraph on pg 319 objective 3)
Transitional Epithelia:
Contain cells that change shape, depending on whether the organ is enlarged or shrunken (objective 3)
Simple Squamous Epithelia:
single layer of flat cells.
LOCATIONS:
lining of heart, lining of blood and lymph vessels, air sacs of lungs, kidney filtration, eardrum, one layer of serous membranes
Diffusion/filtration/reduce friction. (objective 4)
Simple Cuboidal epithelium:
single layer of cube-shaped cells
LOCATIONS: surface of ovaries, eyes (anterior surface of lens, pigemented epithelium), kidney tubules, many glands.
KNOW: absorption/ secretion is associated with these cells. EX: lots of secretion from pancreas so needs more active cells (objective 5)
Simple Columnar Epithelia:
single layer of column like cells.
with or without cilia- promotes movement
with or without microvilli- increases surface area
with or without mucus (goblet cells)
DIGESTIVE AND RESPIRATORY 2 kinds.
Ciliated simple columnar:
this type of simple columnar epithelia moves mucus and substances trapped in mucos by the wave like motion cilia.
LOCATIONS: respiratory tract, uterine tubes/uterus, efferent ducts testes, some paranasal sinuses, canal of spinal cord & ventricles of brain (objective 6)
nonciliated simple columnar:
does not have cilia. is used for secretion or absorption.
LOCATIONS: GI tract, glandular ducts, gallbladder
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelia
Appears to have layers but it doesnt. all cells attached to basement membrane. LOCATIONS: Ciliated- upper respiratory airways, not ciliated- glands, epididymis and urethra.
Mucociliary Escalator:
mucus cells secrete mucus to trap dust and invaders, so they can be moved up to the throat by the mucociliary escalator.
Stratified Squamous Epithelia:
Apical surface is made of squamous (flat) cells. LOCATION: skin and mucous membranes. Is the most common type of epithelium in the human body. This Epithelia protects from abrasion EX: VAGINA (objective 8)
