junctional complexes

why are cells closely aggregated?

is the epithelium — avascular or vascular?

avascular

pseudostratified

what do you call the classification of cell layers where all cells rest on the basal lamina?

columnar

What do you call the shape of the surface cells that are taller than they are wide?

Simple cuboidal

What kind of epithelium do you see in the follicles in the thyroid gland?

Exocrine glands

Where can you see stratified cuboidal?

Unstretched and stretch

What are the two types of transitional epithelium?

Lymphatic vessels

Where can you see simple squamous?

Microvilli

This surface modification is seen in the intestinal epithelium.

Kinocilia

This surface modification is motile, transporting mucus.

Tight junction

What connection or junction prevents leakage between cells?

Communication of cells

What is the function of gap junctions?

Paracrine gland

What type of glandular epithelium targets nearby cells?

Have ducts

Does exocrine — has or has not have ducts?

Sweat glands

Where can you see apocrine?

Mucous

What is this type of secretion where they secrete glycoprotein-rich fluid?

Compound

What duct system is branched?

Berry or vesicular shape

What is the shape of acinar or alveolar secretory units?

Striated duct

What duct system of the exocrine glands contributes to the secretion?

Drains gland lobules
