test 2 Flashcards
This tissue is found lining the chambers of the heart (the “endocardium”) and the lumen of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, where it is called endothelium.
Simple squamous epithelium
is found lining kidney tubules and smaller ducts of many gland, covers surface of ovary
Simple cuboidal epithelium
The types of fibers found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue include:
Collagen fibers
Elastic fibers
Reticular fibers
The extracellular fibers in connective tissue that are very strong and resist pulling forces are
Collagen fibers
The main function of dense regular connective tissues is:
Strong attachment between structures like bones
This type of connective tissue has no blood supply and so heals poorly following an injury.
Cartilage
This type of membrane lines a body cavity that does NOT open directly to the outside.
Serous
This layer of the skin is composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
Epidermis
_______ It is a hard protein produced by keratinocytes
keratin
This cell responds to ultraviolet by making more melanin.
Melanocytes
This epidermal cell has a role in immunity and disease resistance.
Langerhans
This layer of the epidermis is composed of a single row of cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes
Stratum basale
Which layer of the epidermis continually generates new keratinocytes?
Stratum basale
This layer of the epidermis contains layers of flattened keratinocytes that are going through apoptosis
Stratum granulosum
_____ is present only in thick skin
stratum lucidum
_________ It consists of 25-30 layers of dead keratinocytes
stratum corneum
____ Is the process of cells producing and accumulating keratin
Keratinization
This layer of skin is composed mainly of connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers.
