Major Tissue Types Epithelial Tissue Connective Tissue Muscle Tissue Nervous Tissue Tissues are groups of cells with a common function.
Germ Layers 1.Endoderm 2.Mesoderm 3.Ectoderm All tissue types are derived from 3 primary germ layers
internal lining of the gut and respiratory pathways, liver, pancreas 1.Endoderm- internal lining of the gut and respiratory pathways, liver, pancreas notochord (in chordates), dermis, blood vessels, heart, bones, cartilage, muscle 2.Mesoderm- notochord (in chordates), dermis, blood vessels, heart, bones, cartilage, muscle hair, nails, epidermis, brain, nerves 3.Ectoderm- hair, nails, epidermis, brain, nerves
Tight Junction fluid tight seal prevents fluid from leaving a cavity Anchoring Junction (adherens, desmosome & hemidesmosome) tissues that stretch, ex. Heart muscle Gap Junction passage of chemical & electrical signals Contact points between the plasma membrane of tissue cells.

Epithelia comes in 2 forms: 1.Glandular epithelia 2.Membranous epithelia Functions: Protection Absorption Filtration Excretion Secretion Sensory reception
Multicellular exocrine gland: most have supportive connective tissue, secretory unit, blood supply, nerves Merocrine- pancreas, sweat glands, salivary Holocrine- sebaceous Apocrine- sweat glands, mammary glands ducted glands Merocrine gland Holocrine gland
Unicellular exocrine gland: single cells scattered in an epithelial sheet amid cells w/other functions Goblet cells
Lg intestine Sweat glands Gastric Sebaceous Cowper’s MammaryAcinar of pancreas Liver
Secretes product directly directly in blood Secretes product through duct
Simple Squamous Epithelium Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Simple Columnar Epithelium Stratified Epithelium Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Transitional Epithelium
Function: gas exchange in lungs Location: lines blood vessels, lymph vessels and various membranes within the thorax and abdomen
Frog skin
Function: secretion and absorption Location: kidney tubules
Mammalian kidney
Function: protection, secretion and absorption (associated w/goblet cells-exocrine) Location: lines uterus and digestive tract
1. Smooth muscle (long. layer) 2. Smooth muscle (circ. layer) 3. Simple columnar epithelium 4. Goblet cell 5. Lumen of the intestine Cross section of small intestine
Function: protects underlying cells from harmful env. effects Location: covers skin, lines mouth and throat, vagina, and anal canal
1. Stratified squamous epithelium 2. Lumen of the esophagus 3. Connective tissue Cross section of esophagus
cornified layer of dead cells stratified squamous epithelium
goblet cell Function: secretion and propulsion of mucus Location: lines respiratory and reproductive system
Function: protection and secretion Location: rare in body, small amount in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands
Function: stretches Location: lines ureters, bladder and part of urethra

Functions: 1.Connects body parts 2.Protection 3.Insulation 4.Transport substances Common characteristics: 1.All originate from mesenchyme 2.Well vascularized 3.Extracellular matrix Three main elements: 1.Ground substance 2.Fibers 3.Cells
Ground Substance: Water Polysaccharide Protein
Fibers: Reticular Elastic Collagen
Cell Types: Fibroblast Chondroblast Osteoblasts Macrophages Plasma Cells Mast Cells Adipocytes White Blood Cells
Embryonic Connective Tissue
Loose Connective Tissue (areolar) 1. Collagen fiber 2. Elastic fiber Subcutaneous layer underlying tissues & organs
Location: lymphoid organs- spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow
Stores triglycerides Good insulator Supports & protects organs
Forms tendons & ligaments
Cross section of tendon
In fascia and periosteum of bone Dermis of skin
Costal cartilage between ribs
chondrocytes in lacunae elastic fibers
chondrocyte in lacuna collagen fibers Invertebral discs, pubic symphysis, disks of knees
compact bone spongy bone
osteocytes in lacunae central canal canaliculi in matrix
erythrocytes leukocytes

Inquiry 1.What is the difference between the three types of muscle tissue? 2.What type of epithelia tissue has many layers of flattened cells? 3.What layer in the epidermis are new skin cells produced? 4.What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? 5.Which organ system includes the thymus and pancreas?
