Surface Epithelial Flashcards
what type of cells are epithelial cells
Aggregated polyhedral
How much extracellular matrix does epithelial have
small amount
what are the two types of epithelial
surface and glandular
what are some basic characteristics of epithelia PAT
Polarity , tightly adherent and avascular
what is the lamina propria
a layer of connective tissue that epithelial rest on
what is the basal pole
the region of the cell that faces the connective tissue
Apical pole
opposite facing the lumen
what is the basement membrane composed of
laminin type 4 collagen
how does the cell junction form
adhesion molecules
what is non celluar polylaccaride rich layer
the basement layer
what are cell junction maintained by
cytoskeleton elements
what is the funtion of occulding junction
form diffusion barrier
how are cytoskeleton classified
Microfilament - 5nm
Intermediate filament 10nm
microtubule 25 nm
how do microfilaments form a scaffolding
attach to each other to form a 3d intenral scaffolding
what do communicating junctions do
allow movement of molecules between cells
