PASS
◉ histology. Answer: Branch of anatomy dealing with the microscopic
structure of tissues
◉ section. Answer: A thin slice of tissue prepared for microscopic study
◉ artifacts. Answer: Minor distortions seen in preserved tissue viewed
under the micrscope
◉ epithelial tissue (epithelium). Answer: Pertaining to a primary tissue
that covers the body surface, lines its internal cavities, and forms glands
◉ apical surface. Answer: An upper free surface exposed to the body
exterior or the cavity of an internal organ
◉ basal surface. Answer: The surface near the base or interior of a
structure; nearest the lower side or bottom of a structure
, ◉ microvilli. Answer: Tiny projections on the free surfaces of some
epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
◉ basal lamina. Answer: Noncellular, adhesive supporting sheet
consisting largely of glycoproteins secreted by epithelial cells
◉ reticular lamina. Answer: A layer of extracellular material containing
a fine network of collagen protein fibers; together with the basal lamina
it is a major component of the basement membrane
◉ basement membrane. Answer: Extracellular material consisting of a
basal lamina secreted by epithelial cells and a reticular lamina secreted
by underlying connective tissue cells
◉ simple epithelia. Answer: Epithelial cells that consist of a single cell
layer
◉ stratified epithelia. Answer: Epithelial cells that are composed of two
or more cell layers stacked on top of each other
◉ squamous cells. Answer: Epithelial cells that are flattened and
scalelike
