Tissue Structure and Organization Flashcards
what covers exposed surfaces and produces glandular secretions
epithelial tissue
what are the 3 things connective tissues do
fills, supports, stores energy
what are the 3 types of muscle
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
what type of tissue is missing: epithelial, connective, muscle, and __________
nervous
cellularity means
cells are bound together tightly
what kind of cells are avascular
epithelia
4 functions of epithelial cells
- protect surfaces
- control permeability
- provide sensation
- secrete through gland cells
where are microvilli found on epithelial cells
apical end
where are mitochondria found in epithelial cells
basolateral region (concentrated)- provide energy for cell’s transport activities
3 factors maintaining the physical integrity of an epithelium
- intracellular connections
- attachment to basement membrane
- epithelial maintenance and renewal
what’s lower, the basal lamina or the reticular lamina
reticular lamina
what is the basal lamina made of
glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and microfilaments
what is the function of the basal lamina
restrict movement of large molecules from connective tissue into epithelium
what is the reticular lamina made of
course protein fiberes
what is secreted by connective tissue
reticular lamina
what is secreted by epithelial cells
basal lamina
what is the function of the reticular lamina
anchor the BM to the connective tissue
where is simple layering found
unexposed areas
what is the advantage of simple layering
ease of diffusion of material
where is stratified layering found
exposed area
how do cells regenerate
from stem cell divison at the basement membrane
