Week 2 - The Human Body and Bones Flashcards
An epithelium that has several layers, with an apical layer of flattened cells, is called (choose all that apply): a. Ciliated b. Columnar c. Stratified d. Simple e. Squamous
Stratified
Squamous
The gland type that secretes products such as milk, saliva, bile or sweat through a duct
is:
An exocrine gland
The membrane which lines body cavities that open to the exterior is a(n)
Mucous membrane
Scar tissue is a variety of
a. Endothelium
b. Connective tissue
c. Muscle tissue
d. Nervous tissue
e. All of these
Connective tissue
How many types of cells are in the body
About 200
What are the types of tissues in body
epithelial
connective
muscle
neural
Epithelial tissue includes:
glands
Epithelial tissues cover
internal and external surfaces
What lines the GI tract, respiratory tract, reproductive and urinary tracts
Epithelium tissue
Characteristics of epithelium
cellularity polarity attachment avascularity regeneration
Function of epithelial tissue is
provide physical protection, control permeability, provide sensation, and produce specialized secretions via glandular epithelium
Epithelia that line passageways have ___ present
Microvilli
Epithelia attaches to other cells by _______
cell junctions
What are the cell junctions
tight junctions
gap junctions
desmosomes
Squamous epithelium
thin flat and irregular in shape
Simple squamous is found
where absorption takes place or where a slick surface is required to reduce friction
mesothelium
a specialized epithelium that does not contact the outside world, they line the ventral body cavities, the pleura peritoneum and pericardium
endothelium
simple epithelia that line the heart and all blood vessels.
cuboidal epithelial
provide limited protection, and are located where secretions are prominent
stratified epithelial cells are rare but can be found in the
sweat and mammary glands
simple columnar is found
in areas of sceretion and absorption and function to protect lining from chemical stress (intestines)
this secretion is where the product is released from secretory vesicles by exocytosis
merocrine secretion
this secretion involves the loss of cytoplasm as well as the secretory product
apocrine secretion
which secretion involves when the cell becomes packed with secretory material and then bursts liberating the material - destroying the cell
holocrine
