List Generalizations in structure and function of Epithelium - ANSWER: Very limited ECM, Renew
themselves as they undergo wear and tear, Epithelial cell make up surface layers of skin, mucous, and
serous membranes. Are Polarity meaning 2 apical faces; Basal Pole and Apical. Is Avascular, but have
nerve supply.
Epithelial tissues can be classified by? - ANSWER: Number of cells and layers. 4 basic cell shapes;
squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudostratisfied columnar.
List 4 major types of tissues - ANSWER: Epithelial, Muscle, Connective, and Nerve tissue
What is Glandular Epithelium major function? - ANSWER: Secretory activity, function singularly or
unicellular. Function as clusters, solid cords, or hollow follies as multicellular glands
What are the types of Glandular Epithelium? - ANSWER: exocrine glands and endocrine glands
Compare Exocrine and Edocrine glands - ANSWER: Exocrine discharge through ducts to outside
environment and edocrine are ductless discharge directly into the bloodstream or IF
Where do glandular epithelium secrete? - ANSWER: Discharge into ducts, lumen of visceral structures,
into the surface or directly into the blood.
List classification of Exocrine glands. - ANSWER: Apocrine, holocene and merocrine
Where and how does Apocrine gland secrete the product? - ANSWER: Apocrine release product in the
apical face of the cell and through a duct. Their recovery and repair is rapid, however secretion
continues. ex. milk producing mammary glands
Where and how does Holocrine gland secrete the product? - ANSWER: Holocrine are sebaceous
glands, produces oil to lubricate skin. It collects product inside the cell the ruptures to release. Cells
self-destruct to function.
Where and how does Merocrine gland secretes the product? - ANSWER: discharge directly through
cell or plasma and completed without injury. ex. salivary glands
Discuss the structural classification of exocrine glands - ANSWER: Are classified by the shape of their
ducts and branching of duct system. Shapes include tubular and alveolar(saclike)
Describe the type of ducts in exocrine glands. - ANSWER: Simple exocrine have one duct and
compound exocrine glands have two or more.
What cell type/shape of exocrine glands can be find in sebaceous glands? - ANSWER: simple alveolar
and simple branches alveolar
What cell type/shape of exocrine glands can be find in salivary glands? - ANSWER: Some tubular,
some Alveolar
What is the function of connective Tissue? - ANSWER: Connects, supports, transports and defends.
Connects bone to bones, bones to muscles.
