ch4 tissues

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
tissues   a group of cells similar in structure that perform a common or related function  
🗑
epithelial tissue   covering and lining tissue; ex digestive, urogenital, respiratory, outer skin. 2 fashions glands (glandular)  
🗑
apical surface   an upper free surface exposed to eh body exterior or the cavity of an organ  
🗑
basal surface   the lower attached part  
🗑
basal lamina   thin supporting sheet, adjacent to the basal surface, consists of glycoproteins, selective filter to the epithelium, scaffolding to migrating cells for repair  
🗑
basement membrane   formed by laminae, reinforces epithelial sheet, helps resist stretching and tearing and defines epithelial boundary  
🗑
simple   single layer; absorption, secretion, and filtration  
🗑
stratified   two or more  
🗑
squamous   flattened and scale like  
🗑
cuboidal   box like, as tall as they are wide  
🗑
columnar   tall column shaped  
🗑
simple squamous epithelium   flattened laterally, and cytoplasm is sparse; filtration, exchange of substance  
🗑
endothelium   inner covering  
🗑
mesothelium   middle covering  
🗑
simple cuboital epithelium   single layer of cells as tall as they are wide, darkened round nuclei; secretion and absorption  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium   single layer of tall close packed cells; absorption and secretion; have microvilli and goblet glands  
🗑
pseudostratified columnar epithelium   single layer, differing height, false impression of many layers; secretes and absorbs, may have mucus secreting cells  
🗑
stratified squamous epithelium   several layers, thick; protective role. basal are cuboital or columnar, apical is flattened  
🗑
stratified cuboidal or columnar epithelium   two layers, rare, found in glands  
🗑
transitional epithelium   resembles all but the surface is dome shaped usually, has the ability to stretch shape depends on stretch  
🗑
gland   consist of one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product.  
🗑
endocrine glands   produce hormones and eventually lose their ducts, hence ductless  
🗑
exocrine glands   secret their products onto body surfaces or body cavities.  
🗑


   

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.
