1
Covers every exposed surface of the body
epithelial tissue
2
functions of epithelia
physical protection
controls permeability
provides sensation
produces speialized secretions
3
characteristics of epithelia
PACAR
Polarity: presence of structural differenceson exposed/attaxched surfaces
Attachment: of base to basement membrane
Cellularity: entirely made of cell junctions
Avasularity: lacks blood vessels
Regeneration
4
microvilli
increase surface area where secertion is required
5
long microvilli - inner ear tract
stereocilia
6
wave motion moves particles across surface
cillia
7
1 layer of epithelia
simple
8
more than one layer of epithelia
stratified
9
speudostratified (respiratory tract and male reproductive tract)
one layer but looks like multiple

20
junction that allows least amount of passage, not even water
tight junctions
21
where cell is exposed to int/external environment
apical surfaces
22
Base and sides of epithelia
basolateral surfaces
23
base of basolateral surface
cell ataches to underlying epithelial cells or deep tissue
24
sides of basolateral surfaces
cell contacts its neighbors
25
encircle apical regions of cells
tight junctions
26
channel proteins used in gap junctions
connexons
27
form a channel by joining membrane and channel proteins
gap junctions
28
allow ions to pass through
gap junctions
29
go alaong with tight junctions
terminal web and adhesion belt
30
isolate lumen from basal surfaces
tight junctions
31
Very durable junction attached to cytoskeleton
desmosomes
32
What are desmosomes made up of
Cams and proteoglycans
33
small discs connected to bands of internal filaments that stabalize shape
spot desmosomes
34
anchor to underlying tissue and attache cells to extracellular fillaments in basement membrane
hemidesmosomes
35
What are glans made of
epithelial tissue
36
organs that secrete
glands
37
glands that release hormones into blood without ducts
endocrine glands
38
glands that release onto epithelial surfaces through ducts (sweat/tears)
exocrine glands
39
Gives basement membrane strenght
reticular lamina
40
basal lamina
selective filter layer close to epithelium
41
maintanence and repair of epithelial cells

compound
45
serous secretion
watery solution that contains enzymes
46
mucous secretion

47
merocrine
secretion released by secretory vesicles through exocytosis
48
cell suicide
