anaphy tissues

Surface of cells when attached to other epithelial cells

group of cells w similar functions

study of tissues

process of removing tissue samples from patients

examination of organs of a dead body

4 primary types of tissues

strong adhesive structures in glycoprotein connections that bind cells together

similar to one - half of a desmosome which attach epithelial cells to basement membrane.

hold cells together and form permeability barrier

found just below tight junction, acts as a weak glue that holds cells together

small, specialized contact region between cells containing protein channels that aid intercellular communication

secretory organ that secretes substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into the bloodstream

2 major types of glands that develop from epithelial sheets

ductless glands; secretion exits directly into blood vessels that weave through the glands

glands with duct; secretion exits through ducts to the epithelial surface
