7. Lab 2 Tissue & Skin Exercise 5 & 6

8. Characteristics and Functions: protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, and some-
function of epithe- times sensory reception.
lia. Characteristics include:
(Specialized contacts) cells fit closely together to form membranes or sheets,
bound together by special junctions.
(Polarity) membranes always have an apical (free) surface and deep basal
surface
(Supported by connective tissue) the cells are attached to and supported by
a basement membrane
(Avascular but Innervated) no blood supply, but receive nutrients from the
diffusion of underlying connective tissue.
(Regeneration) epithelial cells can normally easily regenerate themselves,
important for tissues that are subject to much trauma and abrasion.

9. Cell shapes and Squamous- flat, scale-like
organization. (ie: Cuboidal- cubelike
squamous, colum- Columnar- column-shaped
nar, etc. and simple Simple- one layer of cells attached to a basement membrane
vs stratified) Stratified- two or more layers of cells; only the deepest layer rests on the
basement membrane
Pseudostratified- its cells extend at varying distances from the basement
membrane so it gives them a false appearance of being stratified (often
ciliated)

10. Be able to identify simple squamous- appears stringlike (found in lungs).

function of connec-

13. Be able to identify areolar CT- irregular composition, contains elastic fibers and collagen fibers

hyaline cartilage- firm matrix, contains chondrocytes in lacuna (costal carti-
lages of the ribs)
adipose tissue.- contains vacuoles (fat droplets). (found around eyeballs and
in the breasts)

14. What type of CT is dense irregular connective tissue

skin?

17. What type of CT osseous tissue
makes up the bone?

18. What are the three skeletal, cardiac, smooth
types of muscle tis-
sue?

19. Be able to identi- Epidermis- most superficial layer of the skin; avascular, keratinized stratified
fy (epidermis & der- squamous epithelium.

Subcutaneous lay- papillary and reticular areas.
ers (from superficial Stratum corneum- outermost layer consisting of 20-30 layers of dead ker-
to deep): atinocytes.
Stratum lucidum- only present in thick skin such as palms or soles of the feet;
a thin, transparent band of dead keratinocytes.
Stratum granulosum- thin layer named for the abundance of granules in its
cells; cells begin to die
Stratum spinosum- several layers of cells, containing web-like bundles made
of pre-keratin protein.
Stratum Basale- a single row of cells immediately above the dermis; cells here
are constantly undergoing mitosis to form new cells.

lamellar corpuscle. Lamellar Corpuscle- responds to deep pressure
