Q

from where does muscle tissue originate from?

A

mesoderm

26
Q

what type of tissue is this?

A

skeletal

27
Q

what are the characteristics of skeletal muscle?

A

1) multinucleated
2) striated

28
Q

what are the characteristics of cardiac muscle?

A

1) it is striated
2) has a central nucleus
3) has intercalated disks-functional syncytium

29
Q

what are the characteristics of smooth muscle?

A

1) not striated
2) elongated central nuclei

30
Q

how do nerves communicate?

A

through neurotransmitters

31
Q

what is neuronal tissue composed of?

A

neurons and glial cells

32
Q

what are nerves?

A

are a bundle of axons

33
Q

what are ganglia?

A

a collection of nerve cell bodies

34
Q

What are the 3 apical projections?

A

1) microvilli: increase surface area for absorption/secretion
2) cilia: help move material
3) stereocilia: non-motile

35
Q

what supports microvilli?

A

actin filaments

36
Q

what does spectrin do?

A

anchors actin filaments to plasma membrane and terminal web

37
Q

what cross links actin filaments?

A

fimbrin

38
Q

What are stereocilia? what do stereocilia do?

A

long microvilli

absorb water in epididymus and ductus deferens

mechanical receptor in ear

39
Q

What are cilia?

A

motile projections that have a 9+2 configuration

its dynin arms give it motion

40
Q

What are the projections on the top shown in this image?

A

cilia

41
Q

Name a disease in which the cilia are mutated or have dyskinesia.

A

Kartageners

42
Q

What are 2 symptoms of kartageners?

A

situs inversus, respiratory distress

43
Q

What disease results from mutation of primary cilia?

A

PKD

polycycstic kidney disease

44
Q

are primary cilia motile?

A

no

45
Q

What are these?

A

desmosomes

46
Q

whatare the arrows pointing at?

A

basal lamina

47
Q

What is this type of epithelium?

A

transitional

48
Q

Whare do we find transitional epithelium?

A

bladder

49
Q

What is metaplasia?

A

when you find a different epithelium than normal

50
Q

what is happening here?

A

metaplasia

51
Q

how are exocrine ducts classified?

A
  1. adenomere shape
  2. uni or multi cellular
  3. duct description
  4. product
  5. method of secretion
52
Q

What is the cell with the G in it?

A

goblet cell

53
Q

what are these cells

A

goblet cells

54
Q

do exocrine glands have duct and adenomere?

A

they do

55
Q

do endocrine glands have duct?

A

no

56
Q

where do endocrine glands secrete their product?

A

into the blood

57
Q

how are ducts classified by description?

A

simple - one opening drain

compound - duct branches

58
Q

how are ducts classified by product?

A
  1. serous: watery
  2. mucous: viscous
  3. mixed: mucus and water
  4. sebaceous: sebum(oily)
59
Q

how do you classify a duct by adenomere?

A

1) Tubular - secretory endpiece same size as duct
2) Acinar - enlarged rounded endpiece with pyramid cells
3) Alveolar: large, irregular secretory endpiece; holds large amount of product

60
Q

what are the different modes of secretion of ducts?

A

1) merocrine: no cytoplasm,smooth lumen
2) apocrine: apex bulges, some cytoplasm lost in secretion
3) holocrine: entire cell is the product
