Which is NOT a layer of the basement membrane?
A. basal lamina
B. reticular lamina
C.cement lamina
C.cement lamina
is closer to-and secreted by-the epithelial cells. It contains proteins such as collagen and laminin?
basal lamina
Lamina= thin layer
Is closer to the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrous proteins produced by connective tissue cells called fibroblasts.
reticular lamina
Epithelial tissue has its own nerve supply but is what?
Avascular (lacks its own blood supply)
Forms the outer covering of the skin and some internal organs; forms the inner lining of blood vessels, ducts, body cavities?
Covering and lining epithelium
also forms the interior of the respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. <<COVERS AND LINES>>
Makes up the secreting portion of the glands such as the thyroid gland, adrenal, and sweat glands?
glandular epithelium
A single layer of cells that functions in diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion and absorption?
Simple epithelium
SINGLE=SIMPLE
Appears to have multiple layers of cells?
psuedostratified epithelium
consists of two or more layers of cells that protect underlying tissues in locations where there is considerable wear and tear?
stratified epithelium
Stratum = layer
Are arranged like floor tiles and are thin, which allows for the rapid passage of substances?
Squamous cells
squamous= flat
Are shaped like cubes or hexagons; function in either secretion or absorption?
cuboidal cells
Shaped like columns, and protect underlying tissues; amy have cilia or micrvilli, often are specialized in secretion and absorption?
columnar cells
Change shape,from flat to cuboidal as organs such as urinary bladder stretch and collapse?
transitional
Consists of a single layer of flat cells; present at sites whre processes of filtration occurs?
simple squamous epithelium
descr. single layer
location. lines heart
function. filtration, diffusion, osmosis
The simple squamous epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels is known as what?
endothelium
endo=within, thelium=covering
Description= single layer of cube-shaped cells, functoin= secretoin and absorption?
simple cuboidal epithelium
Description=single layer of nonciliated-like cells, contain goblet cells, function=secretion and absorption?
nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
contain microvilli at apical surface and goblet cells (secrete mucus)
Description= Contain columnar epithelial cells with cilia at the apical surface, function= moves mucus and other substances?
ciliated simple columnar epithelium
Location=keratinized and/or nonkeratinized, function=protection
stratified squamous epithelium
Stratified squamous epithelium exists in what two forms?
1. keratinized
2. nonkeratinized
Description= all cells are attached to basement membrane but not all reach the apical surface, function= secretion and movement of mucus by ciliary action?
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Where would you find nonkeratinized stratified epithelium?
