REview sheet Flashcards
The study of general form, or morphology, and superficial anatomical markings.
Surface anatomy
considers all the superficial and internal features in a specific area of the body, such as the head, neck, or trunk.
Regional anatomy
consider structures of major organ system such as the skeletal or muscular system.
systemic anatomy
are groups of organ that function together to produce coordinated effect
organ system
examines the changes in form that occur during the period between conception and physical maturity
developmental anatomy
consider the anatomical organization of different types of animals
comparative anatomy
focus on the anatomical features that may undergo recognizable pathological changes during illness.
clinical anatomy
Large areas of opposing plasmalemma maybe interconnected by transmembrane protein called____ which binds to each other and to other extracellular materials
cell adhesion molecule
The membrane of the adjacent cells may also be held by
intercellular cement
Two types of cell junction are
communicating junctions
adhering junctions
two cells held together by membrane called connexons
communicating junction
a tight junction , the lipid portion of the two plasmalemmae are tightly bound together by interlocking membrane proteins.
adhering junctions
mechanically link two adjacent cells at their lateral surfaces or link an epithelial cell to the underlying basal lamina .
anchoring junctions
Responsible for connecting intercellular microfilament to protein fibers of the basal lamina
focal adhesion
found in epithelial tissue that are subjected to a significant amount of abrasion and shearing forces, and require a strong attachment to underlying basal lamina..
Hemidesmosomes
A sheetlike anchoring junction that serves to stabilize the lateral of adjacent epithelial cells
zonula adherens
provides small, localized spotlike anchoring junction that stabilize adjacent epithelial cells
macula adherens
a sheet of cells that covers an exposed surface or lines an internal cavity of pasageway.
epithelium
Function of epithelial tissue
Protection
absorption
secretion
sensation
excretion
Criteria for Classifying Epithelial Tissues
cell shape
cell layer
cellularity
Polarity
attachment
avascularity
regeneration
Types of epithelial tissue
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
Allows for diffusion and filtration and is located at the alveoli of lungs, blood vessels (endothelium), Bowman’s capsule in kidneys
squamous
Function: Secretion and absorption.
Location: Kidney tubules, glands, surface of ovaries.
cuboidal
Function: Absorption and secretion.
Location: Lining of digestive tract (stomach, intestines), reproductive tract
columnar
