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
