|
4
|
|
What are the primary tissues and their general function?
|
Epithelial tissue: covers surface, lines organs and body cavities, forms glands

Cellularity: little extracellular matrix

The non-ciliated simple columnar epithelial form has finger-like projections on the apical surface of the plasma membrane, what are they and their purpose?
|
Microvilli
-increase the surface area and absorption |
|
What type of epithelial consists of what appears to be more than one layer of cells that are taller than they are wide but where each cell is in contact with the basal lamina?
|
pseudostratified columnar epithelial
|
|
2 forms of pseudostratified columnar epithelial and where are they found?
|
-Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial: respiratory tract, nasal, trachea, bronchi
-Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial: epididymis, male urethra, some glands |
|
what type of unicellular gland is commonly found in simple columnar epithelial and what is its product
|
goblet cells and mucin
|
|
what type of epithelial consists consists of multiple layers of cells that change their shape in response to stretch
and where is it found and functions |
transitional epithelial
- bladder, renal pelvis, ureters -allow distention & recoil |
|
Based on discharge of secretions there are two basic types of glands. What are they and how do they differ in where their products are secreted?
|
-exocrine: secrete through ducts onto a surface
-endocrine: secrete directly into interstitial fluid |
|
6 functions of connective tissue
|
-structural framework
-transport: blood -physical protection -support/surrounding and binding of structures - storage: fat immunity: interferes with movement of invaders and house leukocytes |
|
3 basic components of connective tissue?
|
cells
protein fibers ground substance |
|
what term is used for the combination of the two non-cellular components of connective tissue rather than the cells, determines its properties
|
matrix
|
|
what are the two basic types of connective tissue proper and what is the general role of each in the body?
|
-loose: packing material: fills spaces, cushion, support
-dense: provide strength and support: resist pull |
|
what type of loose connective tissue is found deep in the dermis of the skin and surrounds blood vessels, muscles and nerves and general function?
|
areolar connective tissue
-allows independent movement and cushioning |
|
what term is used for the shiny layers of binding tissue that surround and separate muscles and vessels
|
fascia
