Q

Connective Tissue (4)

A

Links tissues and organs together. Provides structural and metabolic support for other tissues/organs. Stores energy as adipose tissue. Forms the immune system (cells produced by lymphatic tissue then migrate to connective tissue)

Q

Epithelium is avascular?

A

it has no blood vessels, so exchange must happen in connective tissue aka structural and metabolic support

Q

Muscle Tissue (3)

A

`Specialized for contraction. Generates force to produce motion of body parts, move substances through blood vessels and hollow organs. Maintains body temperature (heat loss from contraction)

Q

Epithelia: rest on basal lamina?

A

basal lamina is a specialized layer of connective tissue, the epithelia binds to BL and other things in BL attach to what’s under

Q

Epithelia: little extracellular matrix?

A

Extra = outside of cell. Cells secrete matrix that connect other cells to each other

Q

Epithelia: polarized?

A

apical and basolateral surfaces differ - apical faces outside, there are junctions between cells. lateral + basal = basolateral

Q

Tight junction

A

area where two cells are held so tightly together that things can’t really pass through - no diffusion: has to go THROUGH the cell

Q

Types of Epithelia and Naming

A

different types serve different functions - named according to number of cells, 1 = simple 2+ = stratified. Shape of cells in outermost layer

Q

24
Q

Simple Squamous Epithelium: properties, locations

A

Single layer of flat cells, very delicate so only found in places without a lot of force: lines body cavities, heart and blood vessels, and site of gas exchange in lungs

25
Q

Simple Squamous Epithelium: Locations and Functions

A
26
Q

Stratified Squamous Epithelium: properties, found where

A

Stratified cells with outermost layer squamous (aka flat) - forms outer layer of skin, lines mouth, esophagus and vagina - found near abrasive forces

27
Q

Stratified Squamous Epithelium: Locations (7) and Functions (1)

A

Locations: surface of skin, lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, anus and vagina. Functions: physical protection against abrasion, pathogens and chemical attack

28
Q
A
29
Q

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: properties and location

A

Single layer of cells, cell height and width equal, found in glands and forms ducts of glands, forms portions of kidney (tubules out of cuboidal cells because they can make walls of small tubes), lines small intestines since it is the max amount of membrane but still simple to move things from lumen

30
Q

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: Functions (3) and Locations (4)

A

Locations: glands, ducts, portions of kidney tubules, thyroid gland. Functions: limited protection, secretion, absorption

31
Q

Simple Columnar Epithelium: properties, found where

A

Single layer of cells, cells taller than they are wide - lines digestive tract, fallopian tubes and gall blader

32
Q
A
33
Q

Simple Columnar Epithelium: Locations (5) and Functions (3)

A

L: lining of stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, collecting ducts of kidneys. F: Protection, secretion, absorption.

34
Q

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium: properties and found where

A

two to three layers of cells, outmost layer is cuboidal - are like bricks, so they line large ducts (think about it..tiny ducks, single layer is kay, but for larger ducts, more layers makes them stronger)

35
Q

Stratified Columnar Epithelium: Locations (1) and Functions (3)

A

rare, found in lining of some ducts ex. sweat gland duct - protection, secretion and absortpion (same as simple columnar)

36
Q
A
37
Q

Stratified Columnar Epithelium: properties and found where

A

Multiple layers of cells, outer layer is columnar - found in very large ducts where they are so big that cuboidal isn’t enough: ex pancreatic duct

38
Q

Stratified Columnar Epithelium: Locations (6) and Functions (1)

A

L: small areas of pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary gland, salivary gland ducts, urethra. F: protection

39
Q
A
40
Q

Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium: properties and found where

A

nuclei appear at multiple levels, all cells touch basal lamina but may not all reach luminal surface - found where cells might be damaged since an abrasive substance can kill large cell, but little one can take its place - respiratory system, male repro tract

41
Q

Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated Epithelium: Locations (4) and Functions (2)

A

L: lining of nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, portions of male repro tract. F: protection and secretion

42
Q

Transitional Epithelium: properties and found where and why

A

multiple layers of cell, outermost are large and dome shaped so is stretch - found only in urinary tract (bladder, renal pelvis, ureters) to permit expansion and recoil after stretching

43
Q

Glands: formed of what and how

A

composed of epithelial cells: form by growth of epi cells into underlying connective tissue

44
Q

Exo vs Endocrine glands

A

Exo: release secretions through ducts onto epithelial surfaces. Endo: ductless, secrete hormones directly into blood.

45
Q

Formation of Glands: exo vs endocrine

A
46
Q

Formation of Glands: exo vs endocrine (words)

A

cells both develop the same way: epithelial cells grow into underlying connective tisuue, cells at top form a channel and cells at bottom differentiate into secretory cells. If secretory cells remain: exocrine. If they degenerate: endocrine.

47
Q

Three mechanisms of Secretion

A

Merocrine (normal exocytosis), Apocrine (apical surface is pinched off) and Holocrine (entire cell released)

48
Q

Merocrine Secretion Diagram

A
49
Q

Apocrine Secretion

A
50
Q

Holocrine Secretion

A
51
Q

Apocrine Secretion and Holocrine Secretion Examples

A

Apo: apical surface is pinched off like in mammary glands. Holo: entire cell is released like in sebaaceous glands
