UNIT 2cEXAM Flashcards
Histolgy
Study of tissues
Tissue
Group of cells
Types of cell connections
Tight Junction
Gap Junction
DESMISOME
HEMIDESMOSOME
Tight junction
Use interlocking membrane proteins
Gap Junction
Use interlocking membrane proteins are also channels
allow cells to communicate°
Desmisome
Use membrane proteins that are attached to the cytoskeleton
goes through cell membrane
welded together*
Hemidesmosome
Attach the cell to a foundation or base =BASEMENT Membrane
the cell is anchored in place {stationary)
Epithelial tissue
Line spaces in the body
covers the body and forms glands of the body
Epithelial tissue characteristics
Lots of cells tightly packed together
always has one side exposed
cells are highly mitotic
cells exhibit polarity
attached to basement membrane
cells form layers / sheets
all epithelial is avascular= no blood vessels
Criteria used to classify Epithelium
Shape of the cell
cell arrangement
Types of epithelium
Simple squamous
stratified squamous
simple cuboidal
stratified cuboidal
simple columnar
stratified columnar
transitional
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
simple squamous definition
Single layer of flat cells
simple squamous location
Blood vessels
kidneys
alveoli
covers organs and lines the ventral body cavity
simple squamous function
Permeability and secretion
stratified squamous definition
It’s nice to have some multiple layers of flat cells
stratified squamous location
Urethra
vagina
mouth
esophagus
anus
nose
epidermis
direct contact with outside
stratified squamous function
Protection
simple cuboidal definition
Single layer of square cells
simple cuboidal location
thyroid gland
kidneys
simple cuboidal function
Absorption
secretion
stratified cuboidal definition
Many layers of square cells
rare***
stratified cuboidal location
Ducts of glands
stratified cuboidal function
Protection
transitional defintion
Multiple layers of square cells that can change their shape
