What cavity is the the colon in?

Back 4

Abdominal pelvic cavity

Front 5

Describe Serous membrane of the heart

Back 5

Serous membranes are enclosed to the outside world. It is like a "fist in a balloon. Pericardium is like the bubble wrap around the heart

Front 6

Epithelial tissue secretes what type of fluid?

Back 6

Serous fluid

Front 7

Describe mucous membrane

Back 7

Mucous membrane are open to the outside world like the esophagus

Front 8

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of simple squamous ET

Back 8

Classification: 1 single layer of flat cells

Location: cardiovascular and lymphatic

Function: filters blood, secretes hormones, diffusion

Front 9

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of Simple cuboidal Epithelial Tissue

Back 9

Classification: single layer of cubed shaped cells

Location: covers surface of ovaries

Function: secretion and absorption

Front 10

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of Simple columnar "unciliated" ET

Back 10

Classification: single layer of column shaped cells

Location: G.I tract like the stomach

Function: secretion and absorption in mucous driven resp, dig, repro systems

Front 11

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of Stratifed Squamous ET (non + keratinized)

Back 11

Classification: two or more layers of flat cells

Location: (non-keratinized = living cells) trachea, esophagus, bronchial (keratinized = dead cells ) skin, hair, nails

Function: (non) 1st line of defense

Front 12

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of Psuedostratified columnar ET

Back 12

Classification: 1 layer of stretched cells

Location upper respiratory tract like the trachea

Function: sweeps and traps foreign objects

Front 13

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of transitional EP

Back 13

Classification: varies into cuboidal/ squa/ strat. But apical area is rounded

Location: urinary bladder

Function: holds fluid and allows urinary bladder to stretch

Front 14

Describe the classification (shape and layers), location, and function of Glandular ET

Back 14

Classification: secretion

Location: thyroid, thymus, pineal glands

Function: hormones regulate metabolic / physiological activities and maintains homeostasis

Front 15

What are the functions of epithelial tissues?

Back 15

Absorption, secretion, protection, fluid exchange, gas exchange

Front 16

What is the classification of epithelial tissue?

Back 16

Cells: squamous (flat cells), cuboidal (cube shaped cells), columnar (columned shaped cell)

Shape: simple (1 layer of cells), stratified (2 or more layers), pseudostratified (false 2 or more layers of cells)

Front 17

Name the seven sub types of epithelial tissue

Back 17

Simple squamous, Simple cuboidal, Simple columnar, Psuedostratified (ciliated) columnar, stratified squamous (non+keratin), transitional, and glandular

Front 19

Produces lubrication for movement

Back 19

Mesothelium

The extracellular matrix on which the epithelium sits.

Back 20

Basement membrane --> basal lamina

Front 21

Lamina on which connective tissue is anchored

Back 21

Basement membrane --> Reticular lamina

Accinar glands

Front 25

Way kind of location has non-keratinzed and a mucous membrane?

Back 25

Esophagus b/c it suffers abbrasion and it is connected to the outside world

Front 26

What forms the serous membrane?

Back 26

Mesothelium forms the Serous membrane that lines the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, it covers the organs within them. Simple squamous ET

Front 27

Where is simple cuboidal ET found

Back 27

Ovaries, kidneys, eyes, and lining some glandular ducts

Front 28

Compare ET and CT

Back 28

Epithelial tissue are avascular and have many cells .

Connective tissue have few cells and a lot of extracellular material.

Front 29

Name the 4 major cell junctions

Back 29

Tight junction (fluid tight seals), adherens & desmosomes (anchor cell-cell or cell-basement membrane), and gap junction (cell communication)
