Q

What is the function of simple squamous epithelia?

A

They provide a barrier that fluids and gasses can be exchanged through, and produces serous fluid.

Q

Where are simple columnar epithelia found and what is their function?

A

Found in digestive tract, uterine tube, gallbladder and certain kidney tubules. They absorb and secrete while also propelling the egg through the uterine tube

19
Q

What epithelium is found in places that need to stretch (ex. bladder) and what does it do?

A

transitional epithelium

20
Q
A

Study through it!!

21
Q

What epithelium is found in the nasal cavity, male urethra, and upper respiratory passages, while secreting mucous and propelling it with ciliary motion? (Goblet cells)

A

Pseudostratified epithelia

22
Q

What is the difference between keratinized stratified squamous epithelia and non-keratinized?

A

Keratinized epithelia has dead cells at the apical layer, and prevents water loss through skin.

23
Q

Where is keratinized squamous epithelium found? Non-keratinized?

A

Keratinized is found in the skin (epidermis) and non-keratinized is found on the mouth, vagina, and anal canal.

24
Q

How do stratified squamous cells move upward?

A

Cuboidal or columnar cells at the bottom are pushed upward due to polarity and mitosis. As they move toward the apical layer, they lose cytoplasm and become squamous.

25
Where are stratified cuboidal epithelia found?
The ducts of the salivary, mammary, and sweat glands
26
What epithelia functions as protection while also secreting and absorbing substances?
Stratified columnar epithelia
27
Endocrine glands produce_______, which are regulatory hormones released directly into the extracellular space.
Hormones
28
Give an example of an endocrine gland.
Thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, ovary, parathyroid, testicle
29
What are the different types of exocrine glands?
Unicellular and multicellular
30
Me after failing even after making this long ass review
31
What do unicellular exocrine glands do?
Secrete mucin using goblet cells
32
Multicellular glands are ________ in __________.
covered; epithelium
33
What are the major classes of connective tissue?
Connective tissue proper, cartilage, osseus (bone), and blood
34
What makes connective tissue?
Extracellular matrix, vascularity (blood supply), structural elements (ground substance, extracellular fibers, and cells)
35
What is the difference between the extracellular matrix and ground substance?
The extracellular matrix is found between cells and delivers nutrients, while ground substance is like a highway for cells to communicate and exchange waste and nutrients.
36
I hate studying
37
What fibers are found in tendons and ligaments and is resistant to pulling forces? (Looks like a handful of uncooked spaghetti)
Collagen Fibers
38
What fibers are found in vocal cords, lungs, skin and blood vessels, lack tensile strength but can stretch and contract. (Coiled)
Elastic fibers (made of elastin)
39
What fibers are composed of collagen and glycoprotein, and provide support around complex organs?
Reticular fibers
40
What is a mesenchymal stem cell?
A cell that can transform into whatever cell is needed. Ex. chondroblast, osteoblast, tenoblast, or irregular connective tissue cell
41
T/F Tendons hold bone to bone and limit movement
False; Tendons hold muscle to bone and enhance movement, while ligaments hold bone to bone and limit movement.
42
Name the classes of cartilage
hyaline (articular), fibrocartilage (knee, pelvis, between vertebrae), and elastic (ears and epiglottis)
