Study Set Content:
are half desmosomes that anchor cells to the basement membrane.
Hemidesmosomes
Click To Flip the Card
- are cell connection structures that form barriers and anchor cells to each other.
Tight junctions
Click To Flip the Card
- are found just below the tight junctions, and help tight junctions anchor epithelial cells to each other.
adhesion belts
Click To Flip the Card
- Materials that pass through an epithelial layer with tight junctions must pass through the cells, so those cells regulate what materials can cross.
- Materials that pass through an epithelial layer with tight junctions must pass through the cells, so those cells regulate what materials can cross.
Click To Flip the Card
- are found in the lining of the intestines.
Tight junctions
Click To Flip the Card
- are small channels that allow small molecules and ions to pass from one epithelial cell to an adjacent one.
Gap junctions
Click To Flip the Card
Most epithelial cells are connected to one another by
gap junctions
Click To Flip the Card
- are secretory organs that secrete substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into the bloodstream.
Glands
Click To Flip the Card
- are composed primarily of epithelium, with a supporting network of connective tissue.
Glands
Click To Flip the Card
Glands with ducts are called
exocrine glands
Click To Flip the Card
- are ductless glands; they secrete their products (termed hormones) into the bloodstream.
endocrine glands
Click To Flip the Card
- is the tube that transports the secreted material to the free surface of the epithelium.
duct
Click To Flip the Card
- part of the that gland lies deeper in the epithelium and is composed of cells that produce the secreted material.
The secretory portion
Click To Flip the Card
- can be classified according to the structure of their ducts and secretory regions, and mode of secretion.
Multicellular exocrine glands
Click To Flip the Card
- are composed of only a single cell.
Unicellular glands
Click To Flip the Card
- are multicellular and have a single, nonbranched duct.
Simple glands
Click To Flip the Card
are multicellular and have several branched ducts.
Compound glands
Click To Flip the Card
Glands with secretory regions shaped as tubules (small tubes) are called
tubular
Click To Flip the Card
whereas those shaped in saclike structures are called
acinar or alveolar
Click To Flip the Card
- glands forming a straight tube with no branching of the secretory portion
Simple tubular
