24
Q

what does simple squamous look like?

A

it is a single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped ventral nuclei and sparse cytoplasm

25
Q

where is the simple squamous epithelium located?

A

air sacs of lungs, glomeruli of kidneys, lining of lymphatic vessels and cardio vascular structures (endothelium), serous membranes

26
Q

what does simple cuboidal look like?

A

single layer of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei

27
Q

where are simple cuboidal cells located?

A

kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portion of small glands; ovary surface

28
Q

what do simple columnar cells look like?

A

single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei

can contain mucus secreting unicellular glands (goblet cells)

29
Q

where is simple columnar epithelium found?

A

noncialiated type; lines the digestive tract, gallbladder, some glands
ciliated; small respiratory bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus

30
Q

T or F: Microvilli is found on apical surface

A

True

31
Q

what do the pseudo-stratified columnar cells look like?

A

single layer of cells of different heights, can contain goblet cells too, nucleus is found at the fattest end of the cell. */.*/.\

32
Q

where is pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium located?

A

ciliated; trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract

nonciliated; male sperm ducts, large glands

33
Q

what do the stratified squamous cells look like?

A

made of several cell layers; bottom(basal) cells are cuboidal or columnar and the surface cells are squamous

34
Q

what are the stratified squamous cells full of?

A

keratin and dead cells

35
Q

where is stratified squamous epithelium found?

A

found in esophagus, mouth, and vagina - non keratinized areas where it is moist
epidermis of skin - keritinized

36
Q

what do transitional cells look like?

A

they resemble both stratified squamous cells and stratified cuboidal cells.

37
Q

where is the transitional epithelium located?

A

they are lined in the ureters, bladder and part of the urethra

38
Q

transitional epithelium is also referred to as _______ cells

A

umbrella

39
Q

what is an example of unicellular cells?

A

goblet cells

40
Q

unicellular means?

A

simple

41
Q

multicellular means?

A

complex

42
Q

what is an example of multicellular cells?

A

salivary glands

43
Q

which of the following tissues form a lining or covering designed to resist abrasion?

a. stratified squamous epithelium
b. transitional epithelium
c. stratified cuboidal epithelium
d. simple squamous epithelium

A

a. stratified squamous epithelium

44
Q

which of the following forms the slick, friction-reducing lining of blood vessels?

a. simple squamous epithelium
b. simple columnar epithelium
c. stratified squamous epithelium
d. transitional epithelium

A

a. simple squamous epithelium

45
Q

T or F: Merocrine glands secrete their products by exocytosis

A

True

46
Q

T or F: In holocrine glands, only some of the secretory cell ruptures, releasing secretions and dead cell fragments.

A

False, the entire cell ruptures

47
Q

define holocrine glands

A

these are glands that accumulate their secretions within their cells, secretions are discharged only upon rupture and death “lyse” of the cell.

48
Q

define exocrine glands

A

glands that have ducts through which their secretions are carried to a particular site

49
Q

define endocrine glands

A

they are ductless glands that empty their hormonal products directly into the blood
ex. hormones produced by certain intestinal cells cause the pancreas to release enzymes that help digest food in the digestive tract

50
Q

what are the 2 traits that are used for the classifications of glands?

A

where they release their product - endocrine/exocrine

the number of cells - unicellular/multicellular

51
Q

what does avascular mean?

A

containing no blood vessels

52
Q

what is an apical surface?

A

it is a surface of the cell that borders open space

53
Q

what is a basal surface?

A

it is a surface of a cell that is next to underlying connective tissue

54
Q

the function of simple squamous epithelium is?

A

diffusion and filtration

55
Q

the function of simple cuboidal epithelium is?

A

secretion and absorption

56
Q

the function of simple columnar epithelium is ?

A

secretion and absorption

57
Q

the function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium is to ?

A

secrete and propel mucus

58
Q

the function of stratified squamous epithelium is to ?

A

protect

59
Q

the function of transitional epithelium is ?

A

for distention
