Tissues Dynamic Study Modules Flashcards
_____ are important and common unicellular exocrine glands
goblet cells
what describes a squamous shaped cell ?
a flattened, scale-like cell
what is the role of an exocrine gland?
to secrete substances onto body surfaces or into body cavities
which exocrine gland stores its secretion until the gland ruptures ?
holocrine gland
the role of microvilli is to ____
increase surface area
secretes substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
which epithelium has the function: secretion and absorption?
simple cuboidal
the basement membrane is located between which tissue types ?
epithelial and connective tissue
what is the location of an epithelial tissue where keratinized stratified squamous is found
epidermis of skin
what location can this epithelial tissue: simple squamous, be found?
walls of the air sacs of the lungs and lining blood vessels
pseudostratified ciliated columnar is located where ?
lines most of the upper respiratory tract
______ are important and common unicellular exocrine glands
goblet cells
function of stratified squamous
protection from wear and tear
avascular; associated with a basement membrane; apical and basal surfaces; great powers of regeneration; sparse extracellular matrix
epithelium
the role of microvilli is to ____
increase surface area
multiple layers of cells with apical cells varying in appearance depending on the degree of stretch
transitional epithelium
single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei
simple cuboidal
the basement membrane is located between which tissue types ?
epithelial and connective tissue
function of stratified squamous epithelium
protection from wear and tear
function of stratified squamous epithelium
protection from wear and tear
which epithelial tissue type is best adapted for the rapid transport of materials across its membranes ?
simple squamous
why are histological sections stained ?
to enhance contrast
mucus that protects your stomach lining is secreted by which type of epithelial cell ?
simple columnar epithelium
walls of smallest ducts of glands and kidney tubules is where which epithelial tissue can be found ?
simple cuboidal epithelium
mostly found in the dicts of some of the larger glands (sweat and mammary glands) is what tissue?
stratified cuboidal epithelium
basement membrane is located between which two tissue types ?
epithelial and connective tissue
function of the transitional epithelium
stretching
You observe a multicellular gland with branched ducts and saclike secretory areas. What type of gland would this most likely be?
a compound alveolar exocrine gland
