Functions of Epithelial Tissue |
Covers exposed surfaces. Lines internal passageways Forms secretory support |
|
What is the difference between old microscopes and modern microscopes |
Old microscopes only had one lens while modern microscopes have more than one. |
|
Endocrine glands secrete into... |
The interstitial fluid then the blood stream |
|
Functions of Epithelial Tissue (2) |
Provide physical protection Control permeability Provide sensation Produce specialized secretions |
|
Faces the exterior of the body or some internal space |
Apical Surface |
|
Attached to adjacent tissues |
Base |
|
Microvilli |
Line internal passage ways of the digestive urinary and reproductive tract |
|
Space inside a tube (such as the intestinal tract) |
Lumen |
|
Basolateral Surfaces |
Base and the sides of epithelial cells |
|
Motile cillia |
Respiratory and reproductive tracts |
|
Golgi Apparatus |
Facing Apical Surface |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Often extensive around the nucleus |
|
Nucleus |
In a tall cell, located closer to the base than the apical surface |
|
Mitochondria |
May be basal or apical depending on cell function |
|
Epithelial cells three basic shapes |
Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar |
|
In sectional view squamous cells appear |
Thin and flat |
|
In sectional view cuboid cells look like |
small boxes |
|
In sectional view columnar cells look like |
tall slender rectangles |
|
If there is only one layer of cells it is called |
Simple Epithelia |
|
If there is more that one layer of cells it is call |
Stratified Epithelia |
|
Stratified Epithelia are generally located in areas... |
That need protection from mechanical or chemical stresses |
|
Examples of stratified epithelia |
The surface of the skin and the lining of the mouth |
|
How do epithelial cells replace or damages cells |
Through cell division |
|
A tight junction prevents |
Water and solutes from passing between cells |
|
Connexons |
Interlocking transmembrane proteins |
|
At a gap junction two cells are held together by |
Connexons |
|
Gap junctions |
allows chemical communication that coordinates the activities of adjacent cells |
|
What type of proteins are connexons |
Channel protiens |
|
In what location is the simple cuboidal epithelia found? |
Found lining exocrine glands and ducts |
|
Which tissue type is found lining the stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, and kidney ducts? |
Simple columnar epithelium |
|
Which of the following best describes fibroblast? |
Synthesize the extracellular fibers of the connective tissues |
|
Which specific tissue type is found lining the nasal cavities? |
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium |
|
What function is the areolar tissue responsible for? |
Consisting of all of the cell types found in other forms of connective tissue proper, this general packing material in the body. |
|
What cell is a wandering cell in loose connective tissue, and functions as an active, mobile immune cell and produces antibodies? |
Plasma cells |
|
Which of the primary tissue types functions to store energy |
Connective tissue |
|
Which of the following best describes the functional description of stratified squamous epithelium |
Protection from severe mechanical or chemical stresses |
|
Which statement best describes mesothelium |
It lines the pericardial and the peritoneal cavities |
