Cards

Term
Where do you find simple cuboidal epithelium?
Definition
Kidney tubules, thyroid, excretory ducts of glands
Term
Where do you find simple squamous epithemlium?
Definition
Lungs, blood vessels (endothelium), peritoneum, pleura, pericardium (mesothelium).
Term
Where do you find simple columbar epithelium?
Definition
Intestin, gallbladder, large bile duct.
Term
Where do you find pseudostratified epithelium?
Definition
Trachea
Term
Where do you find keratinized and non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
Definition
Keratinized = skin; non-keratinized = esophogus & vagina.
Term
Where do you find stratified cuboidal/columnar cells?
Definition
Ducts of sweat glands, large glandular ducts.
Term
What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?
Definition
Endocrine has no ducts. Exocrine secrete into ducts, are epithelial derived, and are continuous with the surface epithelium.
Term
Name one type of uni-cellular exocrine gland and two places where it is located.
Definition
Goblet cell in intestine and trachea
Term
Which kind of sweat glands are most numberous, eccrine, apocrine, or sebaceous? Where are they concentrated? Classify glands by size.
Definition
Eccrine is most numerous & concentrated on forehead, axilla, and palms. It is smallest. Apocrine is larger and Sebaceous glands are the largest.
Term
Which of the three sweat glands is NOT simple coiled tubular and what kind of gland is it?
Definition
Eccrine and Apocrine sweat glands are simple coiled tubular. Sebaceous glands are simple branched acinar/alveolar.
Term
Where are apocrine sweat glands located and what do they secrete?
Definition
Apocrine glands are in the axilla, anal & genital regions and produce a viscous secretion into hair follicles.
Term
Does the duct or secretory portion of an eccrine sweat gland contain clear and dark cells? Which, (clear or dark) rest on the BM?
Definition
Secretory portion. Clear cells rest on basement membrane.
Term
What is the cutaneous plexus?
Definition
Between dermis and hypodermis. Contains blood vessels, excretory portions of sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and superficial portions of hair follicles. Deep to subpapillary plexus.
Term
What is the subpapillary plexus?
Definition
Between papillary and reticular dermis. Superficial to the cutaneous plexus.
Term
Name the layers of skin epithelium from superficial to deep.
Definition
Corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale.
Term
What are the characteristics of melanocytes?
Definition
Neural crest derived, cell body in stratum basale, synthesize melanin from oxidation of tyrosine->DOPA->Melanin.
Term
What are the two layers of the dermis called?
Definition
Papillary (lots of capillary beds, more cells, collagen fibers not easy to discern) and reticular (dense, irregular, collagenous).
Term
Name the three sheeths of a hair follicle.
Definition
Internal root sheath-derived from hair matrix. External root sheath continuous with basal layers of epidermis. Connective tissue sheath- blends with dermis.
Term
Define a merkel cell
Definition
neural crest derived. tactile mechanoreceptors, in basal lamina, have granules in cytoplasm. Have nerve plate with myelinated axon
Term
Define a langerhans cell.
Definition
Derived from bone marrow. Found in stratum malpighi/spinozum. peripheral dendritic cell of immune system that presents antigens in t cells in dermis to initiate immune response.
