Name one place where keratinized epithelial cells are found? the skin
Name two places where non-keratinized epithelial cells are found? the lining of the esophagus, and the vagina
Describe the 3 different surfaces of epithelial tissue? Free, Basal, and Lateral
Describe the structure of stratified epithelium. Name one place where it can be found? composed of multiple layers of cells; columnar cells topped by cuboidal cells, then by squamous cells. can be found in the outer part of the skin
Explain the structure of Pseudostratified epithelial tissue? single layer of columnar cells that all attach to the basement membrane
Name on place in the body where pseudostratified epithelial tissue is found? the upper throat
What are two characteristics that are almost always associated with pseudostratified epithelium? Where are they found? What is their function? Goblet cells found on the free surface, which secrete mucus. Cilia located on the free surface, move the mucus and debris that accumulates in it.
What are the 4 types of cell connections? Tight junctions, Gap junctions, Desmosomes, and Hemidesmosomes.
What are the functions of the 4 types of cell connections? Tight Junctions bind adjacent cells together. Gap Junctions have channels that allow adjacent cells to communicate with each other. Desmosomes anchor cells to one another. Hemidesmosomes anchor cells to the basement membrane.
What is the difference between Desmosomes and Hemidesmosomes? The difference is the way they look. Hemidesmosomes is one-half, and Desmosomes is body (whole)
What distinguishes endocrine glands from exocrine glands in terms of location and structure? Endocrine glands have no ducts and empty their secretions into the blood. Exocrine glands have ducts which is where secretion comes from. example: sweat glands.
What is the name for a unicellular gland? What do they produce? A single goblet cell, they produce mucus
What are the two major structural types of multicellular exocrine glands? simple and compound
What are 4 functions of connective tissue? storing compounds, protecting, transporting, connecting tissues to one another.

What is the meaning of the suffix -blast, used in naming cells in connective tissue? germ
What is the meaning of the suffix -cyte, used in naming cells in connective tissue? cell
what is the meaning of the suffix -clast, used in naming cells in connective tissue? break
what does the prefix osteo- mean? bone
what does the prefix chondro- mean? cartilage
What does the prefix Fibro- mean? fibrous
what is the structure, location and function of adipose cells? little extracellular matrix surrounding cells, composed of collagen and elastic fibers. Packing material, thermal insulator, store energy, protects parts of the body. Found around kidneys, mammary glands, etc.
What is the structure, location and function of mast cells? Nonmotile cells that release chemicals that promote inflammation, and are found in the immune system.
What is the structure, location and function of macrophages? large cells that provide protection, and are found in the immune system.
