attach to goblet cells for lubrication

attach to cilia in airways and reproductive tract

absorption of nutrients in intestine

A

columnar epithelial cells

2
Q

allows for stretching and recoilability

bladder lining

A

transitional epithelial cells

3
Q

protection from head/cold/microbes/chemicals

water proofing

lining of heart, lungs, mucus membrane

flat sheets of very flat cells

A

squamous epithelial cells

4
Q

lining ducts of sweat and oil glands of the skin

secrete mucus to protect exocrine gland ducts

A

cuboidal epithelial cells

5
Q

6 characteristics of epithelial cells

A

continuous sheet-tightly packed cells prevent moment, gap junction allow passage.
exposed surface-open on one side, attached to “basement membrane”
avascular- have no blood vessels, nutrient obtained thru diffusion.
nerves- have many nerves to detect sensations and send information to brain.
regeneration-high capacity for renewal due to constant wear and tear.
secrete,absorb-mucus, nutrients, wastes

6
Q

histology

A

study of tissues

7
Q

physiology

A

function

8
Q

pathology

A

disease

9
Q

what are some protection functions of epithelial lining cells.

A

prevent: dehydration (waterproof)
:invasion of microbes
:damage “wear and tear” injury, chemicals

detection: sensory receptors for pain, chemicals (taste buds)

10
Q

secrete directly into blood.

ex: hormones (insulin, throid gland, pituitary gland)

A

endocrine glands

11
Q

secrete into ducts that lead out of the body

ex:mucus membranes, sweat glands, salvia glands.

A

exocrine glands

12
Q

secrete into blood and ducts

ex: pancreas insulin into blood and enzymes (duct) to intestines

A

mixed glands
