Directional terms, planes, and cavities
What is the coronal plane
Where is epithelium found
Lining body surfaces
This type of gland releases their secretions onto an epithelial surface, through ducts
What are exocrine glands
The three components of connective tissue
Cells, protein fibers, ground substance
Most superficial layer of skin
Stratum corneum
What is distal
This epithelial surface is connected to the basement membrane
What is the basal surface
This type of gland produces watery sweat
What are merocrine glands
The three types of connective tissue protein fibers
Collagen, reticular, elastic
Skin cells produce this tough, fibrous protein
What is keratin
What is the diaphragm
This type of epithelial tissue is most suited for protection
What is stratified squamous
This type of gland is responsible for the production and secretion of hormones
What are endocrine glands
This type of connective tissue is mostly ground substance, and is often associated with epithelial tissue
What is areolar
This layer of the epidermis contains epidermal stem cells, melanocytes, and Merkel cells
What is the stratum basale
This directional term means towards the tail
What is caudal
This epithelium type is found lining the respiratory tract
What is peudostratified columnar
In this type of glandular secretion, the entire epithelial cell bursts, releasing it's products
What is holocrine secretion
This fixed cell is a connective tissue stem cell, which can become different types of connective tissue
What is a mesenchymal cell
Compared to thin skin, thick skin does NOT contain these two things
What are hair follicles and sebaceous glands
This body cavity is located superior to the pericardial cavity, and medial to the pleural cavities.
What is the mediastinum
What is the special name given to the simple squamous epithelium that lines blood vessels?
What is endothelium
Endocrine glands are typically made out of this type of epithelium
What is simple cuboidal
This connective tissue cell is responsible for producing connective tissue fibers and matrix
What are fibroblasts/cytes
This cell type in the stratum spinosum helps fight cancer
What are Langerhans cells
