        Help!  

Question
Answer
Glands   Structures that produce fluid secretions; they are either attached to or derived from epithelia  
🗑
basal lamina   aka basement membrane. a complex structure produced by the basal surface of the epithelium and the underlying connective tissue  
🗑
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)   Transmembrane proteins which bind to each other and to extracellular materials  
🗑
Intercellular cement   a thin layer of proteoglycans that contain polysaccharide derivatives; may bond membranes of adjacent cells  
🗑
hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid)   polysaccharide derivatives contained inside of intercellular cement  
🗑
cell junctions   specializd areas of the plasma membrane that attach a cell to another cell or to extracellular materials  
🗑
occluding (tight) junctions   where the lipid portions of the two plasma membranes are tightly bound together by interlocking membrane proteins; adhesion belt forms a band that encircles cells and binds them to their neighbors  
🗑
gap junction   where two cells are held together by interlocking junctional proteins called connexons  
🗑
desmosome   where CAMs and proteoglycans link the opposing plasma membranes. very strong and can resist stretching and twisting  
🗑
germinative cells   most stem cells that are located near the basal lamina, in a relatively protected location  
🗑
endocrine glands   produces secretions, which are released directly into the surrounding interstitial fluid  
🗑
exocrine glands   produce exocrine secretions, which are discharged onto an epithelial surface  
🗑


   

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.
