General Histology Epithelium Blood
Fertilization: formation of zygote
Cleavage: becoming multicellular
Gastrulation: fomation of 3 primary tissues – ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm
Tissues of adult organism A tissue is defined as a group of similar cells with their extracellular products, specialized in common direction and set apart for the performance of a common function About 200 types of specialized cells in adult human body are arranged into 4 main tissues: Epithelium Blood and connective tissues Muscular tissues Nervous tissues Tissue formation is called Histogenesis Tissues are studied in General Histology course
Epithelium
Epithelium hallmarks Epithelium covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and constistutes glands, therefore it is subdivided into lining and glandular Epithelium creates a selective barrier between the external environment and the underlying connective tissue The cells predominate, they are closely apposed and adhere to one another by means of special junctions Their basal surface is attached to an underlying basement membrane Apical surface may contain nicrovilli and cilia
Classification of lining epithelia
Location of different types epithelium SIMPLE Lining of vascular system SQUAMOUS Lining of body cavities Bowman`s capsule Lining of lung alveoli SIMPLE Small ducts of exocrine CUBOIDAL glands Surface of ovary Kidney tudules
Location of different types epithelium SIMPLE Lining of small intestine COLUMNAR: and colon Stomach and gastric glands Lining of gallbladder PSEUDO- Lining of trahea and bronchi STRATIFIED Lining of ductus deferens Efferent ductules of epididymis
Location of different types epithelium STRATIFIED Epidermis SQAMOUS: Lining of oral cavity and esophagus Lining of vagina STRATIFIED Sweat glands, ducts CUBOIDAL: Lager ducts of exocrine glands Anorectal junction
Location of different types epithelium STRATIFIED Largest ducts of exocrine COLUMNAR: glands Anorectal junction TRANSITIONAL: Renal calyces Ureters Urinary bladder Urethra
Specialized surfaces of epitheliocytes Apical specializations: - microvilli and cilia Lateral specializations: - zonulae occludentes - zonulae adherentes - maculae adherentes - gap junctions Basal specializations: - hemidesmosomes - basal striations

Classification of glands
Multicellular exocrine glands classifiication
Modes of secretion: A – holocrine; B – merocrine; C - apocrine
