Structure of epithelial tissue (8)

A
  • closely packed cells in single or multiple layers - very limited amount of metric material - apical surface - basal surface - lateral surface - membranous is attached to a basement membrane (functions to resist shearing and tearing forces, supports epithelium) - avascular: no direct blood supply, oxygen and nutrients must diffuse from underlying connective tissue - capable of reproducing itself- high rate of regenteration because stem cells present in most epithelial tissue

A

Faces interior of the cavity or external body surface

32
Q

Exocrine gland

A

Secrete product into ducts (apical surface of epithelium) - sweat - oil - earwax ducts - salivary - pancreas Shapes tubular and alveolar (saclike). Simple (1 duct to surface) or compound (2+ ducts to surface) and has 3 functional glands - apocrine - holocrine - merocrine

33
Q

A

Tissue that functions as a gland to secrete a product 1. Endocrine 2. Exocrine

36
Q

Bone

A

Osseous tissue - unique form of hard connective tissue - mineral salt crystals (inorganic) make up 66% of matrix and are responsible for hardness of bone 1. Compact 2. Cancellous

A

Skeletal - smooth - cardiac

69
