Question
Answer
Main tissues in the body   show
🗑
show Barrier between outside and inside organism Protection both mechanical and chemical from radiation, desiccations, toxins, pathogens, trauma Absorption in kidney and intestine Secretion in respiratory and alimentary tract  
🗑
show Covering and lining epithelia - sheets that cover the body on external and internal surfaces Glandular/secretory epithelium - originated from invaginated epithelial cells as 3D secretory units  
🗑
show Squamous - permeability - transport across Cuboidal - lining - absorption/secretion Columnar - protection, lubrication, absorption/secretion  
🗑
show Simple - single layer Stratified - several layers (can be keratinised) Pseudostratified - appearance of layers but none present Transitional - several layers may change shape  
🗑
Classification by function   show
🗑
show Cilia - movement of particles Microvilli - increase absorption area  
🗑
show Lines blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, loop on Henle and alveoli A single layer of flat cells, nuclei appear as bumps For diffusion, secretion, some protection and secretion/absorption  
🗑
show Kidney tubules, glands and ducts, terminal bronchioles and choroid plexus Single layer of cube cells with microvilli or cilia Active transport and facilitated diffusion result in secretion/absorption and movement of mucus  
🗑
Simple columnar epithelium   show
🗑
show Non-keratinised - mouth, larynx, oesophagus Keratinised - skin Multiple layers of cells cuboidal at the base but stratified at the top. Keratinised - cytoplasm replaced by keratin For protection against abrasion and infection  
🗑
Stratified cuboidal epithelium   show
🗑
show Lining of nasal cavity, sinuses, auditory tubes, trachea and bronchi Single layer of cell, with some reaching the free surface and others not. Ciliated and associated with goblet cells Synthesise and secrete mucus onto free surface and move mucus  
🗑
show Lining of bladder, ureters and superior urethra Stratified cells that appear cuboidal when not stretched and squamous when stretched by fluid Accommodated fluctuations in the volume of fluid in an organ or tube  
🗑
show Cilia - microtubule core in respiratory tract Microvilli - microfilament core in the small intestine  
🗑
show On columnar epithelium of gut To increase surface area for absorption Microfilament core - actin Allows cell to change shape Give a brush border appearance  
🗑
Cilia   show
🗑
show Axoneme core = 9+2 arrangement of microtubules Motor protein to generate force - dynein Microtubule gliding powered by ATP hydrolysis  
🗑
Exocrine glands   show
🗑
Endocrine glands   show
🗑
Goblet cells   show
🗑
show Cilia of cells beat up and out to shift mucus produced by goblet cells Beneath epithelium - connective supporting tissue (Lamina propria) Epithelium and lamina propria = mucosa Beneath mucosa - submucosa and adventitia (connective tissue Larger glands)  
🗑
show Can be derived from any of the three germ layers Location dictated which layer it was formed from  
🗑
Ectodermal epithelia   show
🗑
show Simple Lining of respiratory tract Small intestine Pancreas Gall bladder Liver  
🗑
Mesodermal epithelium   show
🗑
show Boundary between epithelium and connective tissue which surrounds and supports epithelium Acts as a mechanical barrier (protects anything moving into connective tissue) Comprises basal lamina and reticular lamina  
🗑
Basal lamina   show
🗑
show Produced by connective tissue and contains fibres and collagen bundles around which fibrils loop  
🗑
show Apical-basal polarity Two domains - apical and basolateral Domains are distinct - morphologically, biochemically and functionally Specialised functions are associated with different domains  
🗑
Apical domain   show
🗑
show Junctional specialisation (connects cells) Cell contact Adhesion Communication Ion channels Receptors Basal infoldings  
🗑
Epithelial junction on basolateral domain   show
🗑
Tight junctions   show
🗑
show Link adjacent cytoskeletons Adhering junctions - zonula adherens - connects cells in a band Desmosomes - macula adherens  
🗑
Gap junctions   show
🗑
Junctional complex   show
🗑
show Particularly in the blood brain barrier Linked to cytoplasmic MAGUK proteins (membrane associated with guanylyl kinase-like domain) Zonula occludens (ZO-1,2,3) Principle proteins - Claudins and occludins (establish a fence function- high affinity)  
🗑
show Bind to each other intercellularly Adhesion molecules linked to actin filaments intracellularly Filaments run into terminal web - actin filaments stabilized by spectrin  
🗑
show Attached to a cytoplasmic plaque Adhesion molecules linked to intermediate filament cytoskeleton  
🗑
Pemphigus   show
🗑
Desmoglein   show
🗑
Subtypes of pemphigus   show
🗑
Causes of pemphigus   show
🗑
show Pemphigoid - antibodies to proteins of dermis epidermis junction IgA-mediated dermatoses - aberrant deposits of IgA in BM Epidermolysis bullosa acquista - antibodies against type 7 collagen which attached dermis to epidermis  
🗑
Epidermolysis bullosa   show
🗑
show Epidermolysis bullosa simplex - KRT5 and KRT14 genes Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa - COL7A1 gene Junctional epidermolysis bullosa - hemidesmosomes affects Lamin and collagen Kindler syndrome - blistering in young children  
🗑
show Wound care Pain control Controlling infections Nutritional support Prevention and treatment of complication In future, regeneration using transgenic stem cells may be possible  
🗑
show Proteins of gap junctions Each gap junction has 6 pairs of connexins (one in each cell)  
🗑
show Can be between cells - paracellular Can be through a cell - transcellular Some cells transport ions and fluid from apex to base (e.g. kidney) and some from base to apex (e.g. sweat gland)  
🗑
show Selective exchange of ions Na+ enters cells by diffusion Actively extruded by basal NA/K ATPase to maintain low intracellular concentration Can drive transport of other molecules by co transport  
🗑
Co-transporters in gut epithelium   show
🗑
Modifications to intestinal lumen   show
🗑
Glycocalyx   show
🗑
How do occluding junctions appear in freeze fracture   show
🗑
Renewal of epithelial cells   show
🗑
Dysplasia of epithelium - abnormal differentiation   show
🗑


   

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.
