Question
Answer
Cells that cover internal/exterior surfaces   Epithelia  
🗑
Cell attached/derived from epithelia that produce secretions   Glands  
🗑
Transmembrane proteins that bind to each other or extracellular material   Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)  
🗑
A thin layer of of glycosaminoglycans that bonds to membranes of adjacent cells   Hyaluronic Acid  
🗑
Lipids of the plasma membrane are bound tightly by interlocking membrane proteins with an inferior adhesion belt   Tight Junction  
🗑
Two cells held together by two interlocking connexons (channel proteins)   Gap Junction  
🗑
Very strong Cell adhesion molecules and proteoglycans that link opposing plasma membranes   Desmosomes  
🗑
Small discs connected to bands of of intermediate filaments   Spot desmosomes  
🗑
Attaches a cell to extracellular filaments in the basement membrane   Hemidesmosomes  
🗑
Stem cells located in the basement membrane that are responsible for replacing dead/damaged epithelium   Germinative cells  
🗑
When one layer of cells covers the basement membrane   Simple epithelium  
🗑
Several layers of cells cover the basement membrane   Stratified epithelium  
🗑
Epithelium cells that resemble fried eggs   Squamous epithelium  
🗑
Squamous Epithelium that line ventral body cavity   Mesothelium  
🗑
Squamous Epithelium that line inner surfaces of the heart and blood vessels   Endothelium  
🗑
Line the mouth, rectum, anus, throat, esophagus and vagina   Stratified Squamous Epithelium  
🗑
Type of epithelium lining the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, anus, vagina   stratified squamous eptihelium  
🗑
Epithelium that provides limited protection and occurs where secretion/absorption take place   Simple cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
Epithelium that are located along sweat glands and larger mammary ducts   Stratified cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
Epithelium that tolerates repeated cycles of stretching and recoiling without damage (cells of the bladder)   Transitional epithelium  
🗑
Rare tissue in the pharynx, epiglottis anus mammary glads salivary gland ducts and urethra   Stratified Columnar epithelium  
🗑
tissue used for absorption and diffusion   Simple squamous epthelium  
🗑
Used for secretion and absorption, kidneys, glands   Simple cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
Sectretion and absorption using brush border   Simple Columnar epithelium  
🗑


   

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.
