HISTO W1.1 Flashcards
(26 cards)
What are the two different types of epithelial tissue
Covering epithelium
Glandular epithelium
keratinised stratified squamous epithelium can be found in the..
Skin
Where can we find the transitional epithelium
In the ureter
Function of keratine layer and where can it be found
Protection
Prevent water loss
Found in skin and oesophagus
Function of Microvilli and where can it be found
Short and fine finger like projections
For better absorption and increasing the surface area
Found in the intestinal walls and kidney
What is the function of simple squamous epithelium
Diffusion and secretion
What is the function of the glandular epithelium
They have secretory function by aggregating and forming structures called glands
Produce enzymes and hormones
Space filling tissue
Connective tissue
Function of sterocilia and where can it be found
They have absorptive function
Longer than villi but shorter than cilia
Found in the epididymis and ear
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium and where is it
Protection and can be seen on the oesophagus
Function of Goblet cells and where can it be found
For secretion of mucin for lubrication
Found in the intestinal walls
What are the apical specialisation seen on the epithelium
Cilia
Microvilli
Goblet cells
Keratin layer
What is the function of simple columnar epithelium
Absroption and secretion
Where can we find simple columnar epithelium
Thyroid Gland
Function of Cilia and where can it be found
Appears to be long motile projection
For the movement of substances
Found in the fallopian tube
covering tissue
Epithelial tissue
Which is an avascular tissue and what does that mean
Epithelial tissue, meaning it does not have blood supply
4 types of tissue
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nerve tissue
Where can we find simple cuboidal epithelium
Kidney and pancrease
where can we find simple sqamous epithelium
Artery & Vein
where can we find the stratified cuboidal epithelium and what is the function
Exocrine and salivary gland
function in protection and secetion
Explain pseudostratified epithelium
One layer of cells but the nuclei are at different levels giving the appearence of stratified epithelium
What are the functions of Covering epithelial tissue
- Covers the body surface including internal cavities
- Creates a barrier between internal connective tissue and external environment
*Regulate the movement of substances
*Physical protection
Where can we find pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Trachea with cilia as the apical specialisation
