|
|
|
What is a simple epithelium cell?
|
Simple epithelium = single cell layer = good for absorption, secretion, filtration, diffusion.
|
|
Where are simple squamous epithelial cells found?
|
Simple squamous: endothelium, capillary wall, alveolar wallSimple epithelium.
|
|
Where are simple cuboidal epithelial cells found?
|
Simple cuboidal: gland ducts, kidney tubules.
|
|
Where are simple columnar epithelial cells found?
|
Simple columnar: stomach and gut.
|
|
What are Stratified epithelial cells?
|
Stratified epithelium = two or more cell layers = good for protection against abrasion.
|
|
Where are stratified squamous epithelial cells found?
|
Stratified squamous: skin
|
|
Are stratified cuboidal/columnar epithelial cells commonly found?
|
Stratified cuboidal/columnar: not common.
|
|
What are Endothelial cells?
|
Endothelial cells = lines the inside of organs and blood vessels = simple squamous epithelium.
|
|
What do single layer endothelial cells facilitate?
|
Single layer cells facilitate diffusion.
|
|
What does the connective tissue structure comprise of?
|
Connective tissue structure = Cells + extracellular matrix.
|
|
What role do cells play in the connective tissue structure?
|
Cells: secrete the extracellular matrix (ground substance and fibers).
|
|
What role does ground substance play in the connective tissue structure?
|
Ground substance: glue that holds the matrix together
|
|
What role does fibre play in the connective tissue structure?
|
Fibers: mostly collagen, gives the matrix strength
|
|
What do Osteoblasts do?
|
Osteoblasts make bone.
