Cards

Term
what are the fnx of epithelia
Definition

1.Barrier (protection) – covering & lining surfaces

        protects underlying tissues

2.Secretion – mucus, hormones, enzymes, etc
3. Absorption – from lumen (intestine)
4. Transport  - across an epithelium (respiratory ,

                          intestinal, and urinary layers)

5.Detection of sensations – to receive and transmit

             stimuli, as in  taste buds, retina of eye, and

                      hair  cells in ear

Term
what is the basal lamina and what does it do
Definition

basal lamina attaches the epithelium to cell membrane .

made of lamina densa and lamina lucida

 

 it provides support, limits contacts, is a selective barrier 

Term
compare lamina densa and lucida
Definition

lamina lucida= mainly made of glycoproteins

laminin and entactin

transmembranes proteins=integrins

basement membrane =type 4 coll

 

Lamina densa

mainly made of proteoglycan perlacan and fibronectin

coll type 4

has the lamina reticularis (reticular fibers (coll 3)as well: fibronectin and fibroblast

Term
how is basal lamina attached to other structures
Definition

Anchoring fibrils ( coll type 6)=>> to lamina reticularis

microfibrils=>> to elastic fibers

Term
disease caused by a mutation of coll 7 gene
Definition
dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
Term
3 types of simple tissues an where do we find them
Definition

simple squamous:  lining of BV and alveoli, bowmans' capsule

simple cubodal: kidney tubules, covering pvery, duct of glands

simple columnar: GI + gallblader

Term
pseudostratified columnar
Definition

has 2 or more levels

respiratory tract with cilia and goblet cells

in epididymis with stereocilia

Term
stratified squamous, cuboidal and columnar
Definition

 

squamous: esophagus and skin 

cuboidal: duct of sweat gland and large duct of exocrine

columnar: duct of large glands

Term
transitional epithelium
Definition
bladder ureter urethra
Term
where do you find the 3 domains of a cell
Definition

basal domain to the base of the membrane

(hemidesmosomes)

lateral domain on the side

(lamina densa and lucida)

(zona occludens> occludins and claudins zona adherens> E-cadherins)

(Mascula adherens=desmosome> desmocollins and desmogleins)

apical domain on top> stereocilia

 

Term
Kartageners' syndrom
Definition
results  from hereditary defects of dynein ( absence of dynein arms)
Term
glandular epithelium
Definition

endocrine>secretes its own product

exocrine> secretes its product via ducts

Term

 differentiate b/w

holocrine

 merocrine 

apocrine

Definition

 

holocrine: rupture cell membrane and release its stuff

 merocrine :exocitosis

 

apocrine: uses vesicle to release its stuff

Term
Loose CT
Definition

loose arrangement

groun substance

cells

coll type 1

Term
dense CT
Definition

Dense reg: lots of Ground substance, less cells

ex: tendons ligaments and aponeuroses

 

Dense IRR: less ground substance and more cells

 provides stremght

ex: submucosa of GI 

Term
components of collagen
Definition

3apolypeptide straight chain> tropocollagen> fibrils> fibers

 

 need AA (gly, pro, hydropro) for synthesis

Term
types of collagen
Definition

Type I –loose and dense C.T.,  bone, dentine

Type II – hyaline and elastic cartilage

Type III – reticular fibers

Type IV – basal lamina

Type V: placenta

Type VII: anchoring proteins in basal lamina

Term
deficiency in hydrohyproline
Definition
scurvi
Term
reticular fibers
Definition

support organs and tissue

coll type 3

Term
difficiency in type 3 collagen
Definition

ahlos-danlos syndrom

 

 rupture of arteries, GI veryyyyy elastic skin

Term
elastic fibers
Definition

made of desmosine and idodesmosine with fibrillin

 

 

synthesis by AA GLY, PRO LYS

 

affected by light exposure

Term
whats is ground substance made of
Definition

GAG,

proteoglycan ( hyaluronic acid)

glycoprotein branched

 

fnx: lubricant, barrier to microbes/virus, exchange gas

Term
CT cells
Definition

Fibroblast:from mesenchyme, they synthesize all 3 fibers and GS

PLasma cells:from b-lympho, they producce anti-body

MAcrophage:from monocytes, they phagocyte

Mast cells: from bone marrow, they r involved in inflammatory response and allergic rxn

Adipose cells:from mesenchyme, energy reserve

Mesenchymes cells:many potential

Term
mast cells allergic rxn
Definition

they have the IgE receptor 

 

IgE is produced by plasma cell
