Hemidesmosome-

Question 15

function of Pseudostratified columnar epith w/ goblet cells & cilia (trachea, bronchi

Answer 15

cleanse the inspired air & transport mucus & particulate matter to the oral cavity for expulsion

Question 16

function of Simple columnar epith w/ cilia (fallopian tubes, efferent ductules of the testes) -

Answer 16

conduct oocyte & sperm

Question 17

function Pseudostratified columnar epith w/ stereocilia (epididymis, vas deferens) -

Answer 17

absorb fluid

Question 18

part of simple squamous epithelium reduces friction by producing lubricating fluids;
transports fluids

Answer 18

mesothelium

Question 19

part of simple squamous epithelium for passive transport of fluids, nutrients, & metabolites

Answer 19

ENDOTHELIUM-

Question 20

SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM w/ BRUSH BORDERS or MICROVILLI functions (2)

Answer 20

Absorption of nutrient materials & fluids from the filtrate that passes through the tubules
Responsive to the ADH & control resorption of water from the glomerular filtrate, thus, affect urine density, & help retain water content of the body

Question 21

FUNCTIONAL CORRELATIONS of transitional epithelium

Answer 21

Allows distensibility of urinary organs (calyces, pelvis, ureters, & urinary bladder) without breaking the cell contacts
Forms a protective osmotic barrier between urine in the u.bladder & underlying tissue fluids

Question 22

functional correlations of STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM

Answer 22

For protection of surfaces due to its multi-layered cellular composition
Keratin layer (skin) - additional protection from abrasion, dessication, & bacterial invasion

Question 23

TYPES of MEMBRANES

Answer 23

CUTANEOUS – skin
SEROUS – pleura, pericardium, peritoneum
MUCUS – GIT, respiratory tract
SYNOVIAL – bursae of tendon sheaths
