|
|
What are the 3 types of cell junctions?
|
Gap, Adhering and Tight
|
|
Gap Junctions
Give description, location and function |
proteins in the PM allow gaps/pores b/w cells
loc: intercalated discs func: cell to cell communication |
|
Adhering Juctions
Give description, location and function |
proteins (glycoproteins) glue adjacent cells to each other
Loc: intercalated discs func: glue cells together |
|
What is another name for Adhering Junctions?
|
Desmosomes
|
|
Tight Junctions
Give description, location and function |
form seals b/w adjacent cells
loc: stomach func: tight junction prevents acidic juices from leaking b/w cells |
|
What are the two categories of glands?
|
endocrine and exocrine
|
|
Describe endocrine glands
|
secrete hormones; ductless (dump the hormones into circulation)
|
|
Examples of endocrine glands
|
