Q

Simple columnar epithelium

A

taller then wide, oval nucleus

  • small intestine, gallbladder and some glands

Q

Stratified squamous epithelium

A

keratinized

-found on most exposed surfaces of the body, skin

non keratinized

  • found in moist surfaces subject to wear and tear, esophagus
  • protection
19
Q

what type of epithelium

A

stratified squamous epithelium

keratinized

from nose of cow

20
Q

what type of epithelium

A

stratified squamous epithelium

from esophagus

non-keratinized

21
Q

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

A

free surface of cells are cuboidal

rare, some glands

usually two layers

mammary gland

teat sinus

22
Q

stratified columnar epithelium

A

free surface cells are columnar

rare, found in some large ducts

23
Q

Transitional epithelium

A

stratified epithelium

nucleus round

  • surface cells are dome- shaped
  • found in ureter, urinary bladder
  • function: stretch to accommodate urine and prevent the loss of fluid to the urine
24
Q

what type of epithelium

A

stratified transitional

nucleus round

urinary bladder

dome-shapped, can stretch

25
Q

tight junction

A

zonula occludens

brain and small intestine- don’t want stuff getting in

26
Q

incomplete junctions

A

fascia occludens

capillary beds, want stuff to be able to “leak out”

27
Q

intermediate junctions

A

zonula adherens

prevent cell seperation

28
Q

desmosomes

A

macula adherens (spot welds)

-tight connections- prevent skin from tearing apart (stratified squamous epithelia

heart cells

29
Q

communicating junctions

A

gap junctions

allow passage of ions and electrical signals between cells

30
Q

Microvilli

A

microscopic cytoplasmic extensions for absorption and secretion

found in intestine and kidneys

fingerlike projections of the cell’s plasma membrane and cytoplasm supported by a core of actin filaments

stereocilla is a very long microvilli- epididymis has stereocilla

31
Q

stereocillia are a type of ___

A

microvilli

used for absorption and secretions

epididymis has stereocillia

32
Q

Cilia

A

motile

9+2 microtubule arrangment

Flagella are similar to cilia

Trachea and fallopian tubes have cilia

Sperm have flagella

33
Q

sperm have ___which is a type of ___

A

flagella

cilia

used for movement

34
Q

trachea and fallopian tubes have ___ which are used for ___

A

cilia

movement

35
Q

microvilli are used for ___. ____ and ___ have microvilli

A

absorption and secretion

small intestine, gallbladder and kidneys

36
Q

what is at the border of these cells

A

small intestine microvilli

increase surface area for increased absorption and secretion

37
Q

what is at the border of these cells

A

cilia

trachea

movement- moves stuff up and out

38

connective tissue

cartilage

bone

blood

39
Q

oxygen and nutrients reach the cells of epithelia by ___

A

diffusion from underlying connective tissue

40
Q

epithelial protects against dehydration by

A

producing a water proof layer or by producing mucus

41
Q

keratinized stratified squamous epithelia
