Anatomy

Epithelial tissue

QuestionAnswer
What are the three types of epithelial tissue? Squamous, cuboidal, columnar.
What is the classification of squamas tissue based on structure? Stratified squamous non keratinized, stratified squamous keratinized, simple squamous.
What is the classification of cuboidal tissue based on structure? Simple cuboidal, stratified cuboidal.
What are the classifications of columnar tissue based on structure? Simple columnar, stratified columnar.
What are the two unique classifications of epithelial tissue? Pseudostratified columnar, transitional (urothelium).
What is Epithilial tissue? Layers of cells covering internal or external surfaces.
What are glands? Structures that produce secretions.
Give the function for and name two examples of simple squamous epithelium. Helps in diffusion of gases and nutrition. Lining if the alveoli and the oral cavity.
Give the function for and name an example of stratified squamous non keratinized epithelium. Production of mucus. Esophagus.
Give the function for and an example of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium. Protection and prevents water loss. Skin.
Give the function for and name two examples of simple cuboidal epithelial tissue. Production and absorption of substances. Covering of ovaries and lining of ducts.
Give the function for and name two examples of simple columnar epithelial tissue. Secretion and absorption. Lining of the stomach and respiratory tract.
Give the function for and name an example of pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue. Secretion and absorption. Respiratory tract.
Give the function for and name an example of transitional epithelial tissue. Protection and capability of distention. Urinary tract.
Give the function for and name an example of stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue. Protection, secretion and absorption. Lining of sweat glands.
Give the function for and name two example of stratified columnar epithelial tissue. Protection. Small are of epiglottis and salivary gland.
Name and describe the two types of glands. Unicellular glands: Single secretory cell. Multicellular glands: Group of epithelial cells
Describe the two classifications of multicellular glands. With ducts (Exocrine): pour their secretion onto an epithelial surface, directly or through ducts. Without ducts (Endocrine): pour their secretion directly into the blood.
How are exocrine glands classified? Based on shape of secretory unit and branching pattern. Based on mechanism of release of their product. Based on the nature of their secretion.
How do you classify exocrine glands based on shape of the secretory unit Tubular: which may be straight, coiled or branched. Acinar: rounded structure with narrow lumen. Alveolar: rounded structure with wider lumen. Tubulo - acinar/ Tubulo - alveolar
What are the two types of duct systems exocrine glands have? Simple: unbranched duct. Compound: repeatedly branching duct.
What are the three mechanisms of secretory units in the glans? Merocrine secretion: secrete their products by exocytosis (salivary and sweat glands). Apocrine: apical part of cells is lost during the secretion (mammary glands). Holocrine: release their products and the whole cell ruptures (sebaceous glands)
How are glands classified on the nature of secretion? Serous glands: secretion is thin, watery, rich in enzyme, protein in nature. Mucous glands: secretion is thick, contain muco-polysaccharides. Mixed glands: contain both types of secretion.
How do you identify the gland based on nature of secretion? Serous gland: Stain darkly and nuclei are rounded and more basil side, pyramidal in shape. Mucous: Stain very lightly, nuclei are basally placed and flattened, cells are short columnar and pyramidal shaped.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
