Chapter 4 Tissues
Four Tissue Types Epithelia Connective Muscle Nervous
Epithelia Cell Shapes 1.Squamous 2.Cuboidal 3.Columnar Arrangement 1.Simple 2.Stratified 3.Pseudostratified
Characteristics of Epithelia Apical surface Basal surface Basement membrane Avascular Highly mitotic Minimal neural connections
Simple Squamous Primary locations: air sacs of lungs, blood vessels, lymph vessels, etc.
Simple Cuboidal Primary locations: kidney tubules, glands, and ducts.
Simple Columnar Epithelium Locations: digestive tract, gallbladder, some ducts and glands.
Simple Columnar Epithelium with cilia Locations: small bronchi and uterine tubules
Stratified Squamous Epithelium Locations: skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Transitional Epithelium Locations: lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of urethra.
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Locations: trachea and most of upper respiratory tract.
Endocrine Glands
Exocrine Glands Merocrine – chemical release – salivary glands. Apocrine – Pinch off portions of cells – Mammary glands Holocrine – slough off the whole cell – sebaceous glands.
Connective Tissues Contain a matrix Some contain fibers Have a variety of functional cells Most are vascular Most have neural connections
Areolar Connective Location: under epithelia, mucous membranes and surrounds capillaries
Adipose Connective Location: everywhere
Dense Regular Connective Location: tendons and ligaments
Reticular Connective Location: lymph organs like spleen, nodes, and bone marrow.
Dense Irregular Connective Makes up capsules for organs and joints and also in dermis
Elastic (Dense) Connective Walls of large arteries, in ligaments around spine and in walls of bronchii
Hyaline Cartilage Forms most of embryonic skeleton, ends of long bones, costal cartilages, nose, trachea, and larynx.
Fibrocartilage Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis and discs of knee joint.
Elastic Cartilage External ear and epiglottis
Bone
Blood Erythrocytes, Leukocytes & Thrombocytes)
Membranes Mucous Serous Synovial
Muscles Tissue Types Skeletal (striated) Cardiac Smooth
Striated Muscle
Cardiac Muscle
Nervous Tissue
Smooth Muscle Found mostly in the walls of hollow organs
