    phospholipid bi-layer

  • endomembrane system


    interconnected membranous sacs and tubules main part is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

  • rough ER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) rough ER


    has ribosomes attached to it job is to modify proteins ribosomes make the proteins and send them to the rough ER to be modified

  • smooth ER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum)


    has no ribosomes synthesizes lipids, steroid hormones, carbohydrates. Some detoxification, muscle cells store calcium molecules in sarcoplasmic reticulum

  • endomembrane system Golgi apparatus


    sort, tag and distribute lipids and proteins receive them from vesicles where they sort, tag and then distribute through vesicles

  • lysosomes


    destroy pathogens and waste with hydrolytic enzymes (enzymes that can perform hydrolysis) involved in phagocytosis and endocytosis

  • cytoskeleton


    network of protein fibers that help maintain shape of cell, secure organelles, allow movement of vesicles and cytoplasm

  • extracellular matrix


    holds cells together to form tissues

  • Exocrine glands


    exocrine glands use ducts to release substances onto body surfaces or into internal cavities can be unicellular or multi cellular

  • Endocrine Glands


    endocrine glands are ductless and release hormones directly into the bloodstream secrete by exocytosis

  • epithelial tissue roles


    covering and lining like skin, digestive tract. Glands, such as Endocrine, Exocrine glands

  • epithelial tissue main functions


    Thick protection, Thin absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, and sensory reception.

  • epithelial tissue unique functions


    polarity the 2 ends are different apical surface (top) may have microvilli or cilia. Has a basement membrane basal lamina + reticular lamina. Avascular no blood vessels but innervated does have nerve endings (sensor receptors) . It is highly regenerative

  • microvilli vs cilia


    microvilli increase surface area increased absorption. Cilia involved in movement propel substances

  • basement membrane basal lamina + reticular lamina


    basal lamina bunch of glycoproteins and collagen fibers act as a filter . Reticular lamina collagen fiber of connective tissue underneath helps with support

  • types of epithelial tissue


    Simple squamous, simple cuboidal , simple columnar, stratified squamous cells , pseudostratified columnar , transitional epithelium

  • Simple squamous functions


    filtration through diffusion can be found in lungs, kidneys , lining of heart, forms a lot of the serous membranes. Secrete serous fluid in the serous membranes

  • simple cuboidal function


    secretion and absorption often found in kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portion of small glands

  • simple columnar function


    absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances, nonciliated type often found in the digestive tract with microvilli to increase absorption

  • pseudostratified columnar


    found in trachea , most of upper respiratory tract ciliated secrets mucous

  • stratified squamous cells


    protects found in areas subject to abrasion nonkeratinized type found in moist linings like mouth stomach etc keratinized found in epidermis of skin a dry membrane

  • transitional epithelium


    unique to urinary system lines ureters, bladder, urethrae urethra can stretch . Resembles both stratified squamous with cuboidal

  • glands


    type of epithelial tissue a gland is one or more cells that make AND secrete hormones

  • how do Exocrine glands secrete merocrine glands


    merocrine glands secrete through exocytosis like sweat glands and salvatory glands

  • how do Exocrine glands secrete holocrine glands


    holocrine glands accumulate products until they blow up

  • types of connective tissue


    connective tissue proper can be loose or dense, cartilage, bone, blood

  • connective tissue major functions


    binding and supporting, protecting, insulating, storing reserve fuel, transporting substances

  • what do all connective tissue have in common/unique features
