week 3 Flashcards
Pseudostratified epithelium
secretes mucos
Lines upper airways, lines epididymis and part of male urethra
Simple squamous
alveoli in lungs, lining of blood vessels, glomerulus of the nephron (for filtration of the blood).
Stratified columnar
secretes & portects
lines part of urethra, large excretory ducts such as oesophageal glands, part of conjunctiva of eye.
Simple cuboidal
forms ducts of glands, lines kidney tubules, forms surface of ovary.
secretes and absorbs
Ciliated epithelium
cilia on a cell surface contract in unison to sweep substances across a cell surface.
Simple columnar
absorbs& secretes
lines ducts of many glands and gallbladderalso lines in bronchioles, in fallopian tubes.
Stratified squamous
protects against abrasitions
external portion of skin, lining of mouth and oesophagus, covers tongue, part of pharynx and vagina.
Transitional epithelium
allowsurinary organs to expand and stretch
Lines bladder and portions of ureters and urethra.
Stratified cuboidal
protective tissue
adult sweat glands, salivary glands and mammarey glands
catabolic
break down larger/ complex molecules into smaller opnes // release energy (exergonic) // eg glycolosis, kreb cycle ETC
anabolic
use simple molecules to make larger organic molecules // consume energy // eg make proteins from amino acids
where does glycolysis occur
cytosol
glycogenesis (anabolic)
(synthesis of glucose): triggered by insulin // glycogen- many molecules of glucose glued together// storage of glucose in liver andf skeletal muscle cells // formed when not needed to produce ATP inside cells
Glycogenolysis (catabolic)
( breakdown of glycogen) glucose released from stores when glucose levels are low // triggered by glucagon & adrenaline// glucose drops, stored glycogen in hepatocytes release glucose into blood
Gluconeogenesis
( synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources): production of glucose when BGL low // triggered by cortisol & glucaogon// generation of ATP from non-carbohydrate sources// AA, lactic acid, glycerol can be used (60% of bodys AA can be used)
