Question
Answer
Four major types of tissues that make up the human body   Muscle, Nervous, Connective, Epithelial  
🗑
Epithelial tissue is found in 3 places   Covers or lines all surfaces, cavities and tubes; Perenchyma: functional portion of solid organs; Stroma: connective tissue for support  
🗑
Fuctions of epithelial tissue   Selective diffusion, absorption, secretion, physical protection, containment  
🗑
What is the one thing that all epithelial tissues have that the other three types of tissue do not?   Basement membrane  
🗑
Describe a basement membrane   Separates epithelia from supporting tissue, avascular, selective barrier to passage of materials  
🗑
Cell modifications that relate to specific epithelial tissue functions   Cilia, Microvilli, Goblet cells, Basolateral interdigitations  
🗑
What is a brush border?   Extends the surface area of the apical border of the epithelial cell  
🗑
What are basolateral interdigitations   Extends the surface area of the lateral and basal borders of the epithelial cell and is the location for the sodium pump  
🗑
List the 4 types of cell junctions   Tight junctions(occluding junctions), Zonula adherens (adhering belt), macular adherens (desmosomes), communicating junctions (gap junctions)  
🗑
Diffusion requiring a concentration gradient   Passive Diffusion  
🗑
Diffusion with protein carrier molecules   Facilitated  
🗑
Transport requiring ATP   Active  
🗑
Transport using membrane receptors   Transmembrane signaling  
🗑
Components of a nephron   Renal corpuscle, PCT, Loop of Henle, DCT  
🗑
Glomerulus is a group of what?   Fenestrated capillaries  
🗑
Podocytes with many processes on a basement membrane are contained in the   Visceral layer of bowmans capsule  
🗑
What is the main function of the renal corpuscle?   Filtration  
🗑
Where are filtered glucose and amino acids mainly reabsorbed   PCT  
🗑
What cell modifications are seen in the PCT   Brush border and basolateral interdigitations  
🗑
What is the main function of the Loop of Henle?   Generates a high osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid of the renal medulla  
🗑
Epithelium found in Thin loop of henle   Simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
Epithelium found in thick loop of henle   Simple Cuboidal epithelium with extensive basolateral interdigitations  
🗑
The DCT is under control of   Aldosterone  
🗑
Structures of the Juxtaglomerular apparatus   Afferent arteriole, DCT, macula densa, extraglomerular mesangial cellls, juxtaglomerular cells  
🗑
Which cells secrete renin   Juxtaglomerular cells  
🗑
Which cells are sensitive to sodium ion concentrations?   Macula densa  
🗑
Transitional epithelium is found in the   Ureter and Urinary bladder  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
