Classification of Tissues: Epithelial Tissue Tissue: a collection of similar cells working together Epithelial Tissue: cells that cover the surfaces of organs or form a lining within a cavity Turn to: page 56 of the lab book and page 12-14 of the lab packet
Apical surface: the very top surface of epithelial tissue Basement membrane (basal surface): the very bottom surface of epithelial tissue Lumen: The open space above the apical surface of a structure Apical Surface LUMEN Epithelial Tissue Connective Tissue (another type of tissue; Always found supporting the basement membrane) Basement Membrane
Lumen: The inner open space or cavity of a tubular organ, as of a blood vessel or an intestine. Apical Surface Connective Tissue LUMEN Epithelial Tissue Basement Membrane
Classification of Epithelia 1. Number of cell layers
2. Shape of the cells
I will use BOTH microscopes AND histograms to test you on epithelial tissues. Make sure you look at the microscopes in lab and the histograms in this presentation.
