Question
Answer
Function of the body membrane   Cover surfaces, lines body cavities and form protective sheets around body organs  
🗑
2 types of body membrane   epithelial and connective tissue  
🗑
5 Characteristics of epithelial tissue   fit closly together to form continuous sheets-always have one free surface or edge-lower surface rests on a basement membrane secreted by the cell-they have no blood supply-if well nourished will regenerate themselves easily  
🗑
Classifications of epithelial cells   simple, stratified, squamous, cuboidal,columnar  
🗑
Simple epithelia   are most concerned with absorption, secretion, and filtration. because it is usually very thin, protection is not one of its specialties.  
🗑
Simple squamous epithelium   a single layer of cells resting on a basement membrane common in glands and thier ducts, usually forms membrane where filtration of exchange of substances by rapid diffusion occurs, ex air sacs of the lungs ventral body cavity  
🗑
Simple cuboidal epithelium   one layer of cubbe shhaped cells resting on a basement membrane, common in glands and thier ducts, salivary glands,pancreas, walls of kidney tubules, surface of ovaries  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium   tall cells single layer that fit closely together, goblet cells which produce a lubricating mucus are often seen in this type of epithelium, line the entire digestive tract from the stomach to the anus.  
🗑
mucus membrane   membranes that line body cavities open to the body exterior are called______ such as those of hollow organs of the respiratory, digestive,urinary and reproduction tracts  
🗑
Sratified epithelia   consists of 2 or more cell layers, being more durable than the simple epithelia, the epithelia function primarily to protect  
🗑
Stratified squamous epithelium   the most common stratified epithelium in the body, consists of several layers of cells, found in sites that recieve a good deal of abuse such as the esophagus,mouth and outer portion of the skin  
🗑
Stratified cuboidal epithelium   typically just 2 cell layers with at least the surface cells cube shape  
🗑
Transitional epithelium   a highly modified, stratified squamous epithelium that forms the linning of only a few organs the urinary blader, ureters and urethra, properties elastic like  
🗑
Glandular epithelium (Gland)   consists of on or more cells that make and secrete a particular product  
🗑
Endocrine glands   lose there connection to the surface(duct) thus they are often called ductless glands, they secrete hormones directly into the blood vessels (thyroid,adrenals,and pituitary  
🗑
Exocrine glands   retain thier ducts,thier secretion empty thru the the duct to the epithelial surface,examples sweat and oil glands,liver, and pancreas  
🗑
Cutaneous membrane   skin,its superficial epidermis is composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium, underlying dermis dense fibrous connective tissue,  
🗑
Serous membrane   composed of layer of simple squamous epithelium resting on a thin layer of areolar connective tissue in contrast mucus membrane which line open body cavities ____ ______line body cavitiesthat are closed to the exterior  
🗑
parietal layer   lines a specific portion of the wall of the ventral body cavity  
🗑
visceral layer   parietal layer folds into itself to form the_____ ______ closest to the organ  
🗑
Peritoneum   the serosa lining that covers the abdominal cavity  
🗑
Pleura   Isolates the heart and lungs  
🗑
pericardium   surrounds the heart  
🗑
