|
3 Surfaces of epithelium
|
Apical-top
Lateral-Side Basal-Bottom |
|
Simple Squamous function and location
|
Filtration or diffusion.
One type is endothelium found in heart and blood vessels Mesothelium forms serous membranes |

Nonciliated simple Columnar Function and location
|
Has microvilli to absorb and Goblet cells to secrete mucus
Found in Gastrointestinal tract |
|
Ciliated simple Columnar Function and location
|
Moves foreign particles out of trachea
Found in upper respiratory tract |
|
Pseudostratified Columnar Function and location
|
Ciliated type lines upper respiratory
Nonciliated has no goblet cells and lines ducts, epididymis and male urethra |
|
Stratified squamous Function and location
|
Nonkeratinized lines mouth
Keratinized forms Stratum corneum |

Stratified cuboidal Function and location
|
Found in sweat glands and male urethra
|
|
Stratified columnar Function and location
|
Found in male urethra and large excretory ducts
|
|
Transitional Epithelium Function and location
|
Prevents distention. Found in the uterus
|
|
Endocrine Glands and examples
|
Secretes hormones directly into Blood
Pituitary |
|
Exocrine Gland and examples
|
Secretes hormones through ducts
I.e oil, sweat, mucus |
|
Acinar and Tubular
|
Shapes of multicellular exocrine Glands
|
|
Functional classifications of Exocrine Glands
|
Holocrine - Cell kills itself
Apocrine - Products gather up and pinches off Merocrine - Products leave via vesicles |
|
Connective Tissue cell types and functions
|
-Fibroblasts secrete Matrix
-Macrophages eat stuff -Plasma Cells secrete antibodies -Mast Cells secrete histamine -Adipocytes stores triglycerides -White blood cells come from blood |
|
What is extracellular matrix of Connective tissue composed of?
|
Ground substance and Fibers
|
|
Locations of Collagen/Elastic/Reticular Fibers
|
Collagen-Tendons, ligaments, Bone
Elastic-Skin, blood vessel wall, Lungs Reticular- around Fat cells, nerve, skeletal and smooth muscle cells |
|
Mesenchyme and Mucous connective tissue
|
Mesenchyme forms all other connective tissues
Mucous connective tissue supports umbilical cord |
|
5 types of Mature connective Tissue
|
-Loose
-Dense -Bone -Liquid -Cartilage |
|
3 types of Loose connective Tissue and functions
|
Areolar - Provides strong support
Adipose - Stores triglycerides Reticular - Found in Liver, spleen for support |
|
3 Types of Dense connective tissue and functions
|
-Dense regular forms tendons and ligaments
-Dense irregular forms dermis of skin -Elastic supports lungs and arterial walls |
|
3 types of Cartilage and functions
|
-Hyaline cartilage is most abundant but weakest, very flexible and allows movement and provides support
-Fibrocartilage very strong found between vertebrae -Elastic - maintains shapes such as ears |
|
2 growth mechanisms of cartilage
|
Interstitial Growth - Grows from within the cartilage
Appositional growth - grown outside and deposited on |
|
What 2 things contributes to hardness of bone?
|
-Mineral salts and collagen fibners
|
|
Function of Osteocytes
|
-supports and stores nutrients for bone
|
|
Difference between blood and lymph
|
Lymph has less protein
|
|
3 types of epithelial membrane and functions
|
Mucous - Lines organs open to experior i.e lungs intestines
Serous - Lines closed cavities, parietal and viceral sides pleura Cutaneous - skin |
|
Synovial membranes
|
Not epithelial and lines joint cavities. Contains areolar instead of epithelial
