Utilizes intracellular intermediate filamets cross cytoplasm of cell (cytoskeleton)



(also found in cadaic muscle for cellular support)

where are Desmosomes found

Desmosomes found in areas f mechanical stess (skin) & prevents cells from seperating

hemidesmosomes

half a desmosome, as the CAM does not bind to a CAM from a neighboring cell



CAM connects the cell to extracellular material -basement membrane


Gap Junctions

Tiny space between plasma membranes of 2 cells



crossed by protein channels called connexons forming fluid filled tunnels



Cell communication with ions & small molecules



Also basis for Muscle and nerve impulses spread from cell to cell so found in muscle & nerve tissue



heart and smooth muscle of gut

Glandular epithelium

secreting portion of glands


thyroid, adrenal and sweat glands

classifcaton of Epithelium

Classified by arrangement of cells into layers

simple

one cell layer thick

stratified

many cell layers thick`


pseudostratified

single layer of cells where all cells don't reach apical surface



nuclei at found at different level so it loos multilayered

in simple squamous cells in ____

in simple squamous epithelium cells in direct contact with each other

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

single layer of cube-shaped cells viewed from the side



nuclei round and centrally located



lines tubules of kidney



Absorption of secretion

Nonciliated Simple Columnar

single layer rectangular cells



unicellular glands=goblet cells secrete mucus


-lubricate GI, respiratory, reproductive and urinary systems



Microvilli= fingerlike cytoplasmic projections


-for absoption in GI tract (stomach to anus)

Unicellular glands

goblet cells secrete mucus



-lubricate GI, repiratory and urinary systems

Mircovilli

fingerlike cytoplasmic projections


-for absorption in GI tract (stomach to anus)

Cilated Simple Columnar Epithelium

single layer of rectangular cells with cilia



mucus from goblet cells moved along by cilia


-found in respiratory system and uterine tubes
