What are the four tissues that form the organs in the body?
Nervous
Fibrous
Muscle
Epithelium
Ectoderm forms ____
Endoderm forms _____
Mesoderm forms ______
Skin
Digestive tube
Lining of blood vessels
The plasma membrane is covered with the ______ surface
Apical
The lateral surfaces of the cell contain _____ ______ that anchor adjacent cells together
Cell junctions
Since the apical surface and basal surface are separated we can say that this cell is ____ in its function.
Polarized
The ___ surface is the surface across which secretory granules are released by exocytosis into the lumen.
Apical
Microvilli are found on most cells and function in _____. They also increase the plasma membrane surface area.
Absorption
________ are extensions of the plasma membrane that in the presence of ATP, will beat.
Cillia
Where do cell junctions attach? i.e what surface
Lateral surface
What are the two types of cell junctions and their subtypes?
Functional
-Gap
-Tight

Structural
-Desmosomes
Zonula adherns
What are the two ways that water and small solutes can move through an epithelial membrane?
Transcellular and paracellular (requires tight junctions)
How is a tight junction formed?
When the transmembrane protein in the lateral plasma membrane of one epithelial cell laces with a similar transmembrane protein in the lateral plasma membrane of an adjacent epithelial cell.

Ca is required for tight junction.
How do tight junctions selectively tighten and loosen the seal between cells?
This occurs due to signals within and outside the cell to regulate paracelular pathway of fluid and small solute movement
What functional junction is Calcium dependent?
Tight junctions
Gap junction channels are formed from _____ and the channels that forms are called ______
Connexins
Connexon
What tyoe of CAM is cell to cell attachment with anchors in the cytoskeleton, is Ca2+ dependent but doesn't bind to carbohydrates?
Cadherins
Selectins-attach cell to cell by binding to carbs on the plasma protein of the adj cell membrane
What CAM attach cells to the ECM and utilize actin filaments in the cytoskeleton to keep the nucleus informed of changes in the ECM?
Integrins
What is the weaker of the two mechanical junctions, what cytoskelleton do they use and CAM?
Zonula adherens
Cadherin molecules
Actin fillaments
What is the stronger of the two mechanical junctions and what cytoskeleton do they use?
Keratin and Desmosomes
Epithelial membrane is avascular, where does it get blood from>
The epithelial membrane rest on a fibrous tissue bed and capillaries within the fibrous tissue bed nourish them.
The basal lamina is produced by two different cells?
Fibroblasts in the fibrous tissue bed
Epithelial cells in the epithelial membrane
The basal lamina acts as a ___ to protect the epithelial cells and also provides a scaffolding for ____ ______
Filter
Wound healing
The basal membrane is made of two components?
Fibers (type 4 collagen that is found ONLY IN BASAL MEMBRANES.) forms shetts of collagen

Ground substance
The ground substance consists of ______ and adhesion glycoprotein molecules. The most abundant adhesion glycoprotein in the basement membrane is _______
proteoglycans
laminin
Laminin attaches to _____ in the epithelial basal plasma membrane. It also attaches to proteoglycans and Type IV collagen.
integrins
Fibroblast in the basal lamina produce ____ and ground substance.
Fibers.
Integrins in the plasma membrane of the fibroblast attach to _______ in the fibrous tissue bed that connect to fibers in the basement membrane.
Fibronectin
The fibrous ridge between epithelial cell and fibroblast provides a moment by moment assessment of stress on the cells and informs the nucleus of each cell. This is particularly important during the _______ _______ if the epithelium has been injured.
Healing process
Actin filaments in the epithelial cell will attach to integrins in the basement membrane, which in turn the laminin will attach to the ______ and the ______
Proteoglycans
Fiber (type four collagen)
The ______ are button-like anchoring attachments between the basal surface of certain epithelial membranes and the adjacent basement membrane.
Hemidesmosomes
What attaches to keratin filaments within the cell?
Hemidesmosome;
Hemidesmosome consists of integrin molecules in the basal surface of the epithelial cell attached to keratin filaments
Hemidesmosome is anchoring junction that anchors the basal surface of the epithelial cell to the ______ membrane
Basement
What are the two ways to describe epithelial membranes?
Shape of cells and number of layers of cells
When describing epithelial membranes based on number of layers of cells that are stacked, what are the two forms?
Simple-single layer
Stratified-more than one layer of cells stacked on top of one another
What is an example of squamous epithelial membrane
Endothelium; lines the lumen of all blood vessels
