Q

Epethilium

A

sheet of tissues that covers a body surface or lines body cavity

  • basal surface attached to basement membrane
  • always connected to connective tissue
  • avascular and inervative
  • rapid regeneration (GOOD- are prone to lots of friction)

Q

Squamous Epithelium

A

Simple Squamous
thin and flat
- 1 layer thick (delicate)
- found in linings of blood vessels and lungs (absorption)
Stratified squamous
- forms many layers thick (against physical and chem attacks)
- found on outside of body (epidermis, dermis)

Q

Cuboidal Epithelium

A

Simple cubodial
occurs where secretion or absorption takes place (lining of kidney tubules)
Stratified cubodial
RARE, but found in ducts of sweat and mammary glands

Q

Transitional Epithelium

A

tolerate repeated cycles of stretching without damage (urinary bladder)
- called transitional because cell layers change appearance (from stratified to more as they stretch)

Q

Columnar Epithelium

A

Simple columnar
found where absorption or secretion occur (stomach small intestine, large intestine)
Pseudostratified columnar
cilia bearing cells found in portions of respiratory tract (nasal, trachea, bronchi)
Stratified columnar
RARE, but protect portions of pharynx, epiglottis, anus and urethra

17
Q

Glands

A

typically multicellular and specialized for secretion

-goblet cells secrete mucus (trachea and parts of digestive tract)

18
Q

Endocrine Glands

A

release hormonal secretions into interstitial fluid which then moves to blood (thyroid and pituitary gland)
NO DUCTS

19
Q

Exocrine Glands

A

release secretion into ducts that carry it to an epithelial surface (skin)
HAVE DUCTS

20
Q

Classification of Exocrine Glands (NTK! 86 & 87)

A

Merorcrine secretion: exocytosis (sweating)
Apocrine secretion: cell pinches off secretion (mammary glands but also exocytosis)
Holocrine secretion: fills a gland and bursts; no repair (sebum- gland that produces oil) ==> have to have a population of stem cells behind the gland to produce more cells

21
Q

DUCTS

A

1 ducts = simple tubular glands and simple alveolar gland

Branching ducts = compound tubular glands and alveolar

22
Q

Cell Connections

A

Tight Junctions
Gap Junctions
Desmosomes

23
Q

(A) Gap Junctions

A
  • cells held together by channel proteins

- allows free diffusion of ions and small molecules between cells (cardiac muscle- contractions)

24
Q

(B) Tight Junctions

A
  • close; prevent water and solutes between cells (permeability)
  • lipid plasma membranes fused together with proteins in membrane
25
Q

(C) Desmosomes

A
  • strongest; allows cell to bend and twist without seperating
  • like cable connection (one cell to another)
26
Q

Ability of epithelial tissue to maintain and repair itself

A

(1) epithelium exposed to toxins, chemicals, pathogens, abrasions
(2) rapid regeneration (miotic life cycle)
(3) stratified epithelium, new cells arise from stem cells located in basal layer of tissue

27
Q

Differentiation

A

non specialized cells (stem cells: hemocytoblasts) undergo genetically guided changes to become more specialized cells

28
Q

First Body TIssues

A

Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm

29
Q

Goblets

A

only type of unicellular gland in the body
