Q

Where are microfilaments in the cell and what do they do?

A

They are bundles under the cell membrane and cytoplasm. Microfilaments provide strength and give the shape to the cell, causes movement within the cell, links the cytoplasm to the membrane, tie cells together and muscles contractions.

Q

In the tight junctions how are adjacent membranes held together?

A

transmembrane proteins pass back and forth around the two adjacent cell membrane holding and fusing them together. Tight junctions removes the gap between the two cell membranes.

Q

When tight junctions removes the gap between the two cell membranes, what is this called and why is it called that?

A

It makes the cells electrically tight. This means that ions and other proteins can’t pass easily down between the cells. This means the environment lower down can be different from what is above the apical surface thereby keeping cell polarity.

Q

What happens to cadherin in the Adheren junctions?

A

The cadherin extends across the from one membrane and then through the other cells membrane and interacts with another protein called Catenins. Catenins helps the cadherin bind to the microfilaments of the cytosketeons of the two cells (ACTIN). This links the cells at a skeleton level.

Q

Epithelia contains nerves but does not contain what? And what does that mean for the epithelia cells?

A

Epithelia cells are avascular, so the Epithelia cells cant get nutrition. In response to this by nutrients being diffused into the epithelial cells through the basement membrane from the connective tissue. similarly waste material is diffused out of the epithelial cells into the basement membrane into the connective tissue.

Q

Basement Membrane in relation to Malignant melanoma

A

The basement membrane acts as a barrier from the invasion of tumors such as melanoma, if the tumor depth is above the basement membrane the chances of survival are high but as the depth increases and penetrates the basement membrane the chances of spread increases significantly and therefore survival decreases.

A

are changes or adaptations that have occurred in the membrane of different cells.

91
Q

What are examples of membrane modifications?

A

Microvilli and cillia

92
Q

What is Microvilli and why is there a modification?

A

fingerlike cytoplasmic projections which increases surface area of plasma membrane.

93
Q

What is another name for Microvilli?

A

Brush boarder (from appearance)

94
Q

What is a cilia and why is there a modification?

A

motile (move around) fingerlike membranes, to move material along the surface of the cell

95
Q

What is an example of cilia?

A

found in the lungs, when sick the cilla helps move phlegm up.

96
Q

What are the two major subsets of simple columnar Epithelium?

A

Non-ciliated simple columnar Epithelium and Ciliated simple columnar epithelium.

97
Q

What is the difference between non-ciliated and ciliated simple columnar epithelium?

A

Non-ciliated has microvilli,

ciliated has cilla

98
Q

Describe the appearance of simple columnar epithelium?

A

Rectangular, taller and slender than cuboidal, the nuclei is often elongated. They also have more cytoplasm therefore more organelles are found

99
Q

Why is single columnar epithelium more metabolically active than simple squamous cells and simple cuboidal cells?

A

The single columnar epithelium cells are bigger and therefore it is more metabolically active.

100
Q

Describe non-ciliated simple columnar epithelium?

A

single layer column-like cells with oval nucleus near the base of the cell, microvilli on apical surface and goblet cells spread throughout.

101
Q

What are goblet cells? and why are they called goblet cells?

A

are modified columnar cells, called goblet cell because it is filled with mucous and it looks like a goblet.

102
Q

What is the goblet cell’s fucntion?

A

secretes out mucous onto the surface of the membrane.

103
Q

What is the function of non-ciliated columnar epithelium?

A

secretion, lubrication and absorption, (large cells contain more organelle - greater secretion and absorption capabilities.)

104
Q

Where are non-ciliated columnar epithelium found?

A

lines gastrointestinal tract (stomach to anus), ducts to many glands and gall bladder.

105
Q

describe ciliated simple columnar epithelium?

A

single layer of ciliated column-like cells with oval nucleus near base of cells. Goblet cells spaced throughout.

106
Q

What is the function of ciliated simple columnar epithelium?

A

the cillia beat in unison, pushing mucous and foreign molecules towards the throat where it can be coughed up, they can also help expel oocytes form ovaries through the uterine tubes into the uterus.

107
Q

Where are ciliated simple columnar epithelium found?

A

lines the bronchioles (small tubes) of respiratory tract, uterine tubes, uterus, paranasal sinuses, central canal of spinal cord and ventricles of brain.

108
Q

Describe stratified Squamous Epithelium?

A

2 or more layered flat, thin cells. lower layers can have the shape cuboidal or columnar. The layers closer to the apical surface have fewer nutrients and become less active and thinner as they move away from the blood supply in the connective tissue

109
Q

where are stratified squamous epithelium found? and why in those locations?

A

where there is trauma (wear and tear) as there is many layers and can be afford to lose some with compromising barrier function of cell.

110
Q

What are the two subtypes of stratified squamous epithelium? and why?

A

Keratinised and non-keratinised.
There is keratin in the outer layers (near apical surface) where there is alot of wear from mechanical stress and dehydration, the keratin makes the surface tough and waterproof.

111
Q

Why does the relative amount of keratin in the stratified squamous epithelium increase in the cells as it moves up towards the apical surface?

A

because the cells move away from the nutritive blood supple and the organelles die.

112

A

superficial layer of skin

113
Q

Where is non keratinised stratified squamous epithelium found?

What happens when the keratinised stratified squamous epithelium die? and what happens with huge quantities of water?

A

When the cell dies, they leave the keratin on the surface of the membrane, when showering for long periods or in water for long time the slimy feeling is the keratin due to it becoming full of water.

A

Depends on how the exocrine gland secretions are released

172
Q

where do all three classifications of exocrine glands. secretory processes begin at?

A

the secretory process begins with the combination of the Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum working together to form intercellular secretory vesicles.
