25
o sites of strong cell adhesion. ..
adherent juncttions
26
o channels for communication between adjacent cells o Chemical Synapses
gap junctions`
27
specialized adhesive protein complexes that localize to intercellular junctions and are responsible for maintaining the mechanical integrity of tissues.
desmosomes
28
o “”- cells to basal lamina
Hemidesmosome
29
B. TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN OF JUNCTIONS
* Claudin & Occludin * Cadherin * Connexons ClaOcCaCo
30
The seal between the two cell membranes is due to tight interactions between the transmembrane proteins o Tight Junctions
* Claudin & Occludin
31
transmembrane glycoproteins of each cell that bind each other in the presence of Ca
cadherin
32
o Gap Junctions
Connexons
33
o brush or striated border projecting into the lumen o increase the cells’ surface area
microvilli
34
Each actin filament is connected by protein fibrin and villin
microvilli
35
Each actin filament of microvilli is connected by
protein fibrin and villin
36
a much less common type of apical process, best seen on the absorptive epithelial cells lining the male reproductive system o increase the cells’ surface area, facilitating absorption
stereocillia
37
o Seen in Vas deferens and epididymis
stereocillia
38
long, highly motile apical structures, larger than microvilli, and containing internal arrays of microtubules not microfilaments
cillia
39
➢ - assembly of microtubules
Axoneme
40
Epithelia can be divided into two main groups:
covering (or lining) epithelia and secretory (glandular) epithelia
41
The very thin surface cells of stratified squamous epithelia can be “keratinized” (packed with keratin filaments)
* Stratified Squamous Keratinized Epithelium
42
found mainly in the epidermis of skin, where it helps prevent dehydration from the tissue
* Stratified Squamous Keratinized Epithelium
43
lines moist internal cavities (eg, mouth, esophagus, and vagina) where water loss is not a problem.
* Stratified Squamous Non-Keratinized Epithelium
44
Rare in the body o occurs in the excretory ducts of salivary and sweat glands
* Stratified Cuboidal
45
seen in the conjunctiva lining the eyelids, where it is both protective and mucus secreting
* Stratified Columnar
46
lines much of the urinary tract, extending from the kidneys to the proximal part of the urethra, o characterized by a superficial layer of large, dome like cells sometimes called umbrella cells
* Transitional Epithelium /urothelium
47
tall, irregular cells all are attached to the basement membrane but their nuclei are at different levels and not all cells extend to the free surface, giving a stratified appearance.
pseudostratified epithelium
48
Contains goblet cells and cilia
* Pseudostratified epithelium
49
Epithelial cells that function mainly to produce and secrete various macromolecules
glands
50
may synthesize, store, and release proteins (eg, in the pancreas), lipids (eg, adrenal, sebaceous glands), or complexes
secretory cells
51
o Composed of cells that secretes substances/products
glandular epi
52
2 types of glandular epi
exocrine and endocrine
53
remain connected with the surface epithelium, the connection forming the tubular ducts lined with epithelium that deliver the secreted material where it is used
exocrine g
54
o lose the connection to their original epithelium and therefore lack ducts.
endocrine glands
55
Secretory portions can be ???? (either short or long and coiled) or ??? (rounded and saclike); either type of secretory unit may be branched, even if the duct is not branched
Secretory portions can be tubular (either short or long and coiled) or acinar (rounded and saclike); either type of secretory unit may be branched, even if the duct is not branched
56
the most common method of protein or glycoprotein secretion and involves typical exocytosis from membrane-bound vesicles or secretory granules.
MEROCRINE SECRETION
57
EXOCRINE SECRETION TYPES
MEROCRINE SECRETION, HOLOCRINE SECRETION, APOCRINE SECRETION HOMEPO
58
cell disruption that releases the product and cell debris into the gland’s lumen. This is best seen in the sebaceous glands producing lipid rich material in skin
HOLOCRINE SECRETION
59
product accumulates at the cells’ apical ends, portions of which are then extruded to release the product together with small amounts of cytoplasm and cell membrane. Lipid droplets are
APOCRINE SECRETION
60
ENDOCRINE SIGNAL TYPES
PARACRINE AND AUTOCRINE
61
ENDOCRINE SIGNALS ARE RENEWED CVUA
MITOSIS
62
provides a matrix that supports and physically connects other tissues and cells together to form the organs of the body
