Tissues
This tissue type covers and lines all body surfaces and cavities.
What is epithelial tissue?
This is the epithelial tissue type associated with the integument.
This layer is found deep to the basal lamina in the basement membrane.
What is the reticular lamina?
When osteoblasts mature into osteocytes, they are found within these structures.
What are lacunae?
This structural category includes symphysis and synchondrosis joints.
What are cartilagenous joints?
This serous membrane lines the cavity of the abdomen and covers the abdominal organs.
What is the peritoneum?
Merkel cells are found in this layer of the epithelia
What is the stratum basale?
This region is found inferior to the occipital prominence.
What is the nuchal region?
The carotid canal is found in the petrous region of this bone.
What is the temporal bone?
This is the common name for an articular disk.
What is a meniscus?
This sheet of peritoneum extends from the stomach and is covered with serous membrane.
What is the greater omentum?
The lower layer of the dermis is composed of this connective tissue.
What is dense irregular connective tissue? (Reticular layer)
This region is inferior to the umbilical region (in the 9 quadrant model of the abdoment).
What is the hypogastric region?
This sheath covers the outer later of bone -- it is continuous with tendons, binding muscles to bone.
Periosteum
A tendon sheath is caused by an elongation of this structure.
What is a bursa?
This type of intercellular junction holds cells together and creates an "impermeable" "zona occuldens."
What are tight junctions?
These mechanoreceptors in the dermis sense deep pressure.
What are Pacinian corpuscles?
This type of epithelia is found in large ducts, including mammary, sweat, and seminiferous tubules.
What is stratified cuboidal epithelia?
These macrophages secrete HCl from their ruffled border to dissolve bone.
Osteoclasts
This is the only type of membrane without epithelial tissue.
What is synovial membrane?
This intercellular junction occurs in regions experiencing a high level of mechanical stress, such as the skin or the uterus.
What are desmosomes?
This sweat gland uses with apocrine secretion
What are mammary glands?
This type of epithelia forms the mucociliary escalator in the respiratory tract.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelia?
The periosteum perforates into the bone marrow as this.
Sharpey's (perforating) fibers
This type of joint is held together by fibrocartilage.
