A&P I - Tissues and Histology

        Help!  

Question
Answer
define "tissue"   a group of cells with similar function and structure  
🗑
what are the four types of tissue   epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue  
🗑
list the 5 characteristics of epithelial tissue   polarity, specialized contacts, basement membranes, vascular but innervated, regeneration  
🗑
where is epithelial tissue found   pretty much everywhere, especially anything that touches the outside (GI tract and skin)  
🗑
the epithelial tissues are classified on 2 criteria - what are they? what are the names we use to describe these criteria?   stratified and simple  
🗑
where in the body is simple squamous ET found   alveoli in lungs & glomerulus capsue (kidneys)  
🗑
where in the body is simple cuboidal found   tubules of the kidneys  
🗑
the upper/free surface of the epithelial tissue   apical surface  
🗑
what is the bottom layer/surface of the epithelial tissue   basal surface/lamina  
🗑
what does it mean that epithelial tissue is avascular   epithelial tissue does not have any blood vessel innervation of it's own  
🗑
how does the blood vessel receive nutrients even though it is avascular   nutrients diffuse from the basement membrane  
🗑
why is it important that the epithelial tissue in the lung alveolar is simple instead of stratified   the shorter the distance the faster the gasses are allowed to diffuse  
🗑
why is skin made up of stratified epithelial tissue   protection  
🗑
name two unique epithelial tissue that are not stratified or simple   pseudostratified and transitional  
🗑
where is pseudostratified epithelial tissue founds   respiratory system (trachea)  
🗑
where is transitional epithelial tissue found   bladder (urinary system)  
🗑
what is an endocrine gland   a gland that is ductless and releases hormones (chemicals) in to the extracellular fluid  
🗑
what are exocrine glands   have ducts and empty their contents (sweat/mucus) on the bodily surfaces  
🗑
what is mesothelium and where is it found   simple squamous epithelium found on the serous membrane  
🗑
what is endothelium and where is it found   simple squamous epithelium that lines the inside of a blood vessel.  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue founds in the oral cavity   moist (non-keratinized) stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
name the epithelial tissue in the trachea   ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium  
🗑
name the epithelial tissue in the capillaries   simple stratified epithelium (endothelium)  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue found in the digestive tract   simple columnar epithelium (intestines), non-keratinized (moist) stratified epithelial tissue (esophagus), simple stratified (inner lining of stomach)  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue found in the lungs alveoli   simple stratified epithelium  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue found in the kidney tubules   simple cuboid epithilium  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue in the exocrine glands   stratified cuboidal  
🗑
name the type of epithelial tissue in the urinary bladder   transitional epithelium  
🗑
what is the function of the the exocrine pancreas   to buffer the stomach acid in the intestine  
🗑
what is the function of the endocrine pancreas   (islets of lagerhans/ pancreatic islets) release of hormones (alpha-glucagon and beta-insulin)  
🗑
where would you find keratinized stratified squamous   skin  
🗑
where would you find non-keratinized (moist) stratified squamous   buccal/oral cavity, tongue, and esophagus  
🗑
what type of gland would release its secretion through exocytosis without the gland itself   merocrine glands  
🗑


   

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.
