Q

Types of cell connections

A
  • Demosomes: like a band of Velcro
  • Hemidesomes: attaches epithelial to basement
  • Gap junctions: channels of embedded proteins
  • Tight junctions: found in top of membranes, in the space between cells can be blocked

Q

Where is transitional epithelium found

A

Lines organs subject to stress and that need to stretch i.e. Urethra and urinary bladder

Often 10 or more layers thick

23
Q

Simple columnar epithelia

A
Single columnar layer, found in stomach, large and sm intestine 
cells often modified per function 
Goblet cells (secretion)
Cilia (movement)
Microvilli (absorbtion)
24
Q

Pseudostratified columnar found

A

Lines air passages and segments of male reproductive system

25
Stratified columnar epithelium
Very rare found in urethra and near anus
26
Glandular epithelium
Specialized for secretion Exocrine glands- onto body surface like perspire on skin or saliva Endocrine glands- into blood or interstitial fluid
27
3 classifications of exocrine glands
Merocrine Aprocrine Holocrine
28
Define merocrine glands
Secrete through cell membrane (exocytosis) | Most numerous gland type
29
Define apocrine glands
Uses part of cell for secretion, mammary glands
30
Holocrine glands
Secretion products cause cell death, sebaceous glands
31
Connective tissue characteristics
Most widespread and has extra cellular matrix made up of fibers, few cells and are vascular
32
General functions of connective tissue
- connect muscles, bones - transport blood and lymphatic systems - protect delicate organs - support framework - storage of fat/energy
33
3 types of connective tissue
- Connective tissue proper (fiberous) - Fluid connective tissues - Supporting connective tissues
34
cells found in connective tissue proper
``` Fibroblasts Adipose Macrophages Mast cells Lymphocytes Melanocytes ```
35
Connective tissue fibers
Collagen-strength Reticular-gives framework Elastic-allows stretch
36
Loose connective tissue
Helps connect different tissues and acts like glue, stretchable Found around organs for protection
37
Reticular tissue where is it found and function
Bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and mesh work filters things out
38
3 types of Dense connective tissue
- Dense Regular fibrous connective tissue-fiber bundles parallel i.e. Knee ligament - dense irregular fibrous connective tissue-fibers intertwine like a mat i.e. Around Kidney - elastic tissue-elastic fibers-between vertebrae in spine
39
Types of fluid connective tissue
Blood and lymph
40
Blood connective tissue formed elements
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets
41
Blood connective tissue functions
Transport Regulation of body temp Regulation of pH
42
Lymph
Contains no blood cells
43
Types of supporting connective tissues
Cartilage and bone
44
Cartilage function
Shock absorption Protects ends of bone Growth of long bone
45
Three types of cartilage
- Hyaline- most common found in ribs, sternum and tip of nose - elastic- flexible returns to shape found in external ear - fibrocartilage- strongest found in pelvic bones
46
Three types of muscle | Tissue
Skeletal, cardiac,smooth
47
Skeletal muscle
Voluntary, striated, multiple nuclei and found in arms and legs
48
Cardiac muscle
Involuntary, striated, one nucleus and found in heart
49
Smooth muscle
Involuntary, smooth, one nucleus and found in digestive organs and bladder
50
Nervous tissue function | And where found
Rapid regulation and integration of body activities found in brain, spinal cord, nerves
51
Cell types of nervous tissue
Neuron and neuroglia
52
Dendrites
Carry info towards cell body
53
Axon
Carry away from cell | Body
