Skin Layers
Top layer of the skin epidermis
What is stratum corneum
This type of epithelial tissue forms a single layer of flat cells and is found lining the air sacs of the lungs to allow rapid gas exchange.
What is Simple squamous epithelial?
This organelle produces energy in the form of ATP.
What is mitochondria?
What determines the difference between loose and dense kinds of proper connective tissue.
What is extracellular matrix (ECM)?
This layer of the epidermis is only in thick skin
What is stratum lucidum
This type of epithelial tissue has multiple layers and is found where protection from abrasion is needed, such as the skin, mouth, and esophagus.
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
This organelle carries out protein synthesis.
What is ribosome?
The head in relation to the thoracic region.
What is superior?
This type of connective tissue surrounds organs for cushioning, shock absorption, insulation, and energy storage.
What is adipose tissue?
This is a single layer of cells attached to the dermis that is the site of mitosis.
What is stratum basale.
This epithelium appears to have multiple layers because the nuclei are at different heights, but every cell touches the basement membrane.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
Microtubule-containing extensions that project from some cells.
What is cilia?
The popliteal region to the patellar region.
what is dorsal?
The three kinds of dense connective tissue?
What is regular, irregular, elastic?
The layer of the dermis that has dense irregular connective tissue and accessories embedded into it.
What is the reticular?
This rare type of epithelial tissue can stretch and is found lining the urinary bladder, allowing it to expand as it fills.
What is Transitional Epithelium?
Location where RNA is synthesized.
What is nucleus?
The regional term for the thumb.
What is the pollex?
The most common kind of loose connective tissue.
What is areolar?
This layer of the epidermis has 3-5 layers and keratohyalin protein.
What is stratum granulosum?
All epithelial tissues share these three key characteristics: they are tightly packed, have a free (apical) surface, and rest on this structure that separates them from connective tissue.
What is the Basement membrane?
Outer surface has ribosomes and looks rough under a microscope.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)?
The left leg to the right arm?
what is contralateral?
What is the support connective tissue that is made up of calcium, salts, and collagen fibers.
What is bone?
