KINESIOL 1A03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Choroid Plexus, Nephron, Serous Membrane
Document Summary
Classification of epithelium: number of layers of cells simple. Function: allows diffusion of gases, filtration of blood, secretion, absorption, easy movement stratified. Only the deepest layer contact with the basement membrane. Only one layer of cells, but looks like many layers. Tissue appear to be stratified, but all cells contact casement membrane. Function: modification of simple, secrete and move mucous: shape of cells squamous. Function: allow diffusion or act as filters cuboidal. Function: find in the region need to secret or absorption columnar. Function: find in the region need to secret or absorption. Goblet cells: find between cuboidal and columnar, use to produce and secrete mucus. Location: lining of blood vessels (endothelium), alveoli of the lungs, loop of. Henle in kidney tubules, lining of serous membrane. Function: diffusion, filtration, some protection against friction, secretion. Structure: single layer of cube-shaped cells; some types have microvilli or cilia.
