Q

Acne

A

Production of androgens

stimulates the sebaceous (oil)

Excess sebum blocks the openings of the ducts

causes inflammation

Q

Ciliated columnar epithelium

A

respiratory tract and fallopian tubes

17
Q

Keratin

A

produced by the squamous cells

18
Q

Functions of Basement Membrane

A

Adheres cell layers
Acts as a molecular sieve (semi-permeable)
May have a role in cell differentiation

19
Q

Occluding junction

A

Intercellular spaces are sealed

Protein strands “stitch” cells to each other

20
Q

Desmosome

A

plaque
attached to filaments of the cytoskeleton

transmembrane proteins between cell membranes

21
Q

Gap junction

A

pores in are aligned

small molecules pass between cells
