Epithelium Tissue

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
show Function: 1. passage of materials by diffusion/filtration 2. secretes lubricating substances in serosae Location: 1. renal corpuscles 2. alveoli of lungs 3. lining of heart, blood, lymphatic vessels 4. lining of ventral body cavity (s  
🗑
Simple Columnar Epithelium   show
🗑
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium   show
🗑
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium   show
🗑
Stratified Squamous Epithelium   show
🗑
show Function: 1. protection Location: 1. Ducts of: mammary glands, salivary glands, largest sweat glands  
🗑
Stratified Columnar Epithelium   show
🗑
show Function: 1. permits distention of urinary organs by contained urine Location: 1. epithelium of urinary bladder 2. ureters 3. proximal urethra  
🗑
show Ductless glands that secrete directly into surrounding tissue fluid and blood  
🗑
show The products (sweat, mucus, oil, etc.) travel in ducts to epithelial surface  
🗑
show - Produce mucin: mucin + water --> mucus - unicellular exocrine gland - protect and lubricate many body surfaces  
🗑
Multicellular exocrine glands   show
🗑
Tight junctions   show
🗑
show - just below tight junctions in epithelial tissue - transmembrane linker proteins attach to actin microfilaments of cytoskeleton and bind adjacent cells - reinforce the tight junctions  
🗑
Desmosomes   show
🗑
show - passageway between 2 adjacent cells - let small molecules move directly between neighboring cells - cells are connected by hollow cylinders of protein - function in intercellular communication  
🗑
show - non-cellular supporting sheet between epithelium and underlying CT - made up of proteins secreted by epithelial cells - acts as selective filter - acts as scaffolding along which regenerating epithelial cells can migrate  
🗑
show - fingerlike extensions of plasma membrane of apical epithelial cells - occurs in almost every moist epithelium of the body - maximized surface area across which small molecules enter and leave - act as stiff knobs to resist abrasion  
🗑
Cilia   show
🗑
show - very long, single cilium - only human cells with these are sperm cells  
🗑


   

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.
