PROTECTION AND SECRETION - 17Where are stratified COLUMNAR epithelium cells found? What functions are they associated with?- excretory ducts, pharynx, urethra, anus (inner)
PROTECTION
(Columnar shape gives more room for specialized organelles****) - 18Where are simple squamous epithelium cells found? What functions are they associated with?- vasculature, body cavities
MUCUS SECRETION, VESSEL PERMEABILITY, - 19Where are simple cuboidal epithelium cells found? What functions are they associated with?glands and ducts (esp. kidneys**)
SECRETION AND ABSORPTION - 20Where are simple COLUMNAR epithelium cells found? What functions are they associated with?digestive tract (VILI), fallopian tubes, excretory ducts
PROTECTION, SECRETE MUCUS AND ENZYMES, ABSORPTIVE CELLS - 21Glands are formed by ______Invagination of epithelial tissue
- 22The two types of glands are ____ and _____. _______ has ducts while ______ does not.- endocrine; exocrine
exocrine (HAS DUCTS --> to release to surface)
Endocrine (no ducts; secrete hormones in the blood) - 23What is the purpose of CONNECTIVE tissues?- links together tissues and organs
- structural and metabolic support
- stores E
- forms immune system - 24Naming of connective tissue types is based on _____, _____ type and ______ type- density
- fibre
- cell - 25There are 3 important cells in connective tissue what are they?1. fibroblast (wound repair)
2. macrophages (immunity)
3. Adipocytes (fat storage) - 26What is ground substance and where is it secreted from?Ground substance = hydrated gel
- secreted from FIBROBLASTS - 27What are the 3 types of fibres found in connective tissue?- collagen (tensile)
- elastic fibres (compression)
- reticular fibres (scaffold) - 28What is LOOSE connective tissue? What are theh 3 types?Loose: ECM>>>fibres (packing material between organs)
1. Areolar (links organs and tissues; most common)
2. Adipose
3. Reticular (usually associated with lymphatic system) - 29Label the components of Loose CT:
