Cell Junctions
The protein that helps make up the plaque of a desmosome.
What is Keratin?
A single layer of flat cells.
What is Simple Squamous?
This type of cell located within connective tissue develops from white blood cells and engulfs debris via phagocytosis?
What is a Macrophage?
This type of gland releases it's secretion directly into the bloodstream.
What is an Endocrine Gland?
Wharton's Jelly found in the umbilical cord is where we can find this type of cell.
What is an Embryonic Mucous Cell.
This type of cell junction utilizes connexons to transmit chemicals to the next cell.
What is a Gap Junction?
This type of epithelial tissue is often taller than they are wide, and primarily function as a form of protection.
The most abundant type of cell in connective tissue, responsible for secreting components of the extracellular matrix.
What are Fibroblasts?
Also called Eccrine glands, these types of glandular tissue secrete via exocytosis, and the cells are not altered or destroyed in the process of secretion.
What are Merocrine Glands?
The type of cartilage that contains larger fibrous bundles of collagen, such as intervertebral disks in the spinal cord.
What is fibrocartillage?
This type of cell junction is found in hollow organs.
What are Tight Junctions?
These types of epithelial tissue are found in areas of lots of wear and tear, such as the skin, the mouth, and the esophagus.
What is Stratified Epithelium?
This type of connective tissue cell is seen in embryos and gives rise to all other connective tissues.
What is Mesenchyme/Embryonic Mucous Cells?
This type of gland secretes by pinching the top part of the cell off, releasing it via the apical surface.
What are Apocrine Glands?
This type of tissue produces blood cells in a process called hematopoiesis.
What is Spongy Bone?
This type of cell junction is found primarily in tissues that want to spread impulses. ex. Nerve and Muscle Tissue.
What is a Gap Junction?
Cells in this epithelial type are able to change shape to accommodate stretching.
What are Transitional Epithelium.
This type of cell is responsible for storing triglycerides.
What are adipocytes?
This type of exocrine gland is the most abundant type of gland and includes the salivary, sweat, and digestive glands.
What are Merocrine/Eccrine Glands?
This type of Membrane lines body cavities that don't open to the outside and covers organs in those cavities.
What is a Serous Membrane?
This type of junction is found in areas of high mechanical stress due to how strong the junction is,
What is a Desmosome?
Cells in this epithelial type look like they belong to multiple layers, but all cells in the tissue are able to connect to the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified Epithelial Tissue
This type of cell is responsible for producing the chemical responsible for allergic reactions.
What is a Mast Cell?
This type of gland releases it's secretion by having the cell die and rupture to release.
What are Holocrine Glands?
Internal Scar Tissue
What is Adhesions
