Midterm: from epithelial tissue up to upper extremities Flashcards
4 functions of epithelial tissues
1) protection from dehydration
2) control permeability
3) sensory
4) secretion
Lining various organs
endothelia
lining ventral body cavities
mesothelia
Where can you find keratinized epithelial tissue?
hair shaft and palmar skin
Simple squamous Location
kidney, inner lining of cornea, heart, blood vessel, alveoli, lungs,
- mesothelia
Simple squamous function
absorb+secretion
reduce friction
permeability
simple columnar location
stomach, intestine, gal bladder, collecting ducts of kidney
simple cuboidal location
thyroid glands, glands, ducts,
stratified squamous location
beginning and end of digestive tract, rectum, vagina, surface of skin
transitional epithelium location
urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureters
Pseudostratified epithelium location
nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, parts of male reproductory tract
There are 2 types of unicellular exocrine glands. what are they?
1) mucous cells
2) goblet cells
3 accessory structures
1) hair follicles
2) exocrine glands
3) nails
2 layers of dermis
1) papillary layer
2) reticular layer
what makes up the extracellular matrix?
1) specialized cells
2) extracellular protein fibres
3) ground substance
Location of Areolar Tissue
Loose CT
between muscles, around blood vessels, nerves, and around joints
Function of Areolar Tissue (Loose CT)
provide defense against pathogens
Function of Adipose Tissue (Loose CT)
padding and cushions shock; insulating; stores energy
Function of Reticular Tissue (Loose CT)
Provides framework
Location of Dense CT Regular
between bones for stabilizing
covering skeletal muscles
Location of Dense Irregular CT
around bones and cartilage
Difference between Hyaline Cartilage and Fibrous Cartilage
Lacunae in fibrous cartilage are widely spread
perichondrium in hyaline cartilage
location of fibrous cartilage
pads between knee joints
between intervertebral discs
between pubic bones
osteocytes
mature bone cells
maintain and monitor protein and minteral content of bone matrix
