Question
Answer
what is histology   a conglomeration of cells that perform a particular function  
🗑
what germ layer is epithelial derived from   all 3 germ layers, ectoderm,mesoderm,endoderm  
🗑
What is the function of epithelial tissue   covers and lines, and forms glands  
🗑
Characteristics of epethelial tissue   cells are held closely with little or no intercellular (between cells) matrix.  
🗑
what are the 3 types of junctions   tight junction: holds cells tightly together to prevent leakage.Anchoring junction: allows distention of tissue.Gap or communicating junction: allows spread of electrical and chemical messages from cell to cell.  
🗑
Desosomes   protein welds that hold the cells of the epithelial together.  
🗑
How are cells arranged   in sheets  
🗑
epithelial has high mitotic ability   quickly regenerates because of wear and tear.  
🗑
epithelial has 2 surfaces   apical: top or outer surface(unattached)basal surface:bottom surface(attached to basement membrane.)  
🗑
what two layers does the basement membrane have?   basal lamina which is the top layer, and consists of collagen(protein) and proteoglycans.reticula lamina is the bottom layer which consists of glycoproteins and reticular fibers.  
🗑
What is the function of the basement membrane:   acts as an attachment of epithelial cells at basal surface,Nutrient and waste exchange between the two tissues.serves as a guideline for migrating cells during mitotic division.  
🗑
epithelial is avasuclar(no blood supply)   depends highly on vascularized connective tissue below it to support it and supply nutrients. ( nutrients and waste exchange occurs at the basement membrane that connects the two tissues.  
🗑
what is classification based on   layering affect and cell shape.  
🗑
what are the 3 layering effects   simple- 1 layer thick...allows diffusion, osmosis, secretion, excretion.stratified- 2 or more layers..allows protection and named by cell shape in top layers .pseudostratified-false stratification...appears stratified but is really simple.  
🗑
Pseudostratified-false stratification   appears stratified but is simple. all cells in this tissue come in contact with the basement membrane but do not reach the surface at the same levels.  
🗑
4 cell shapes   squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional  
🗑
squamous   flat, tile like cells with a disc shaped nucleus  
🗑
cuboidal   cube shaped with a sperical nucleus  
🗑
columnar   column shaped with an elongated nucleus (close to base)  
🗑
columnar have 3 modifications associated with them   cilia for movement, microvilli enhances surface area for better absorption and goblet cells unicellular epithelial glands and secret mucus for protection  
🗑
transitional   rounded cells, 2 nuclei, allows distention(stretch)  
🗑
What shapes are in simple layering   squamous, cuboidal and columnar  
🗑
what shapes are in stratified layering   squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and transitional  
🗑
what shapes are in pseudostratified   columnar  
🗑
simple squamous epithelium   consists of one layer of flat cells with a disc shaped nucleus. located in alveoli(airsacs), glomerulus of nephrons in kidney, tympanic membrane of eardrum, mesothelium, lining of the heart, blood vessels esp. capillaries, and lymph vessels esp. lacteals  
🗑
simple cuboidal epithelium   consists of one layer of cube shaped cells. location: foms ducts and tubules, capsule of eye lens, surface of ovary, pigmented epithelium of eye, thyroid gland.  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium   consists of one layer of column shaped cells with an elongated nucleus  
🗑


   

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.
