Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Tissues Histology – study of tissues Cell specialization allows body to function in sophisticated ways Hazard of specialization – if particular group of cells die off or are injured, it can severely disable / destroy the body.
4
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Tissues Tissues = Groups of cells similar in structure and function The four primary types of tissues Epithelial (covering) Connective (support) Muscle (movement) Nerve (control) Tissues are organized into organs (usually containing all four types of tissues)
5
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelial Tissue Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium) – sheet of cells that cover body surface or lines a body cavity. Occurs in: 1. Covering and lining epithelium 2. Glandular epithelium Epithelium form boundaries between environments Example: skin, urinary bladder Functions include: 1. Protection – mechanical & chemical injury; bacterial invasion (skin) 2. Absorption – digestive tract 3. Filtration - kidney 4. Excretion - kidneys 5. Secretion - kidney 6. Sensory Reception - skin
6
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Special Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue Cellularity – composed almost entirely of cells (CT not cells) 1.Polarity – epithelial cells have: Apical (upper) surface – exposed to body exterior or cavity of internal organ, and May have microvilli (brush border) or cilia Basal surfaces – lower, attached portion Apical and basal surface of cell have different structure and function 2.Specialized Contacts – epithelium fit close together forming continuous sheets – tight junctions and desmosomes. 3.Supported by Connective Tissue – epithelium rest upon and supported by connective tissue (CT). 4.Avascular but innervated – contains no blood vessels but supplied by nerve fibers – nourished from blood vessels in underlying CT 5.Regenerative – rapidly replaces lost cells by cell division – damage from friction or substances like bacteria, acid or smoke.
7
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelial Tissue Basement Membrane – reinforces epithelial sheet (stretching/tearing forces) 1. Basal lamina - noncellular and mostly made of glycoproteins (secreted from epithelium) Selective filter for what may enter epithelium from underlying CT 2. Reticular Lamina – just under basal lamina – this layer of extracellular material containing a network of collagen protein fibers (“belonging to underlying CT”)

9
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Classification of Epithelia 1. Squamous 2. Cuboidal 3. Columnar Figure 4.1b
10
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Simple Squamous Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped nuclei and sparse cytoplasm Functions Diffusion and filtration Provide a slick, friction-reducing lining in lymphatic and cardiovascular systems Present in the kidney glomeruli, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and serosae
11

12
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Simple Cuboidal Single layer of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei Function in secretion and absorption Present in kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, and ovary surface
13

14
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Simple Columnar Single layer of tall cells with oval nuclei; many contain cilia Goblet cells are often found in this layer Function in absorption and secretion Nonciliated type line digestive tract and gallbladder Ciliated type line small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus Cilia help move substances through internal passageways

16
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Pseudostratified Columnar Single layer of cells with different heights; some do not reach the free surface Nuclei are seen at different layers Function in secretion and propulsion of mucus Present in the male sperm-carrying ducts (nonciliated) and trachea (ciliated)

18
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Stratified Squamous Thick membrane composed of several layers of cells Function in protection of underlying areas subjected to abrasion Forms the external part of the skin’s epidermis (keratinized cells), and linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina (nonkeratinized cells)

20
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Stratified Cuboidal and Columnar Stratified cuboidal Quite rare in the body Found in some sweat and mammary glands Typically two cell layers thick
21
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Stratified Columnar Stratified columnar Limited distribution in the body Found in the pharynx, male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts Also occurs at transition areas between two other types of epithelia
22
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Transitional Several cell layers, basal cells are cuboidal, surface cells are dome shaped Stretches to permit the distension of the urinary bladder Lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra

24
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelia: Glandular A gland is one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid Classified by: Site of product release – endocrine or exocrine Relative number of cells forming the gland – unicellular or multicellular
25
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Endocrine Glands Ductless glands that produce hormones Secretions include amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, and steroids
26
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Exocrine Glands More numerous than endocrine glands Secrete their products onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities Examples include mucous, sweat, oil, and salivary glands The only important unicellular gland is the goblet cell Multicellular exocrine glands are composed of a duct and secretory unit
27
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Multicellular Exocrine Glands Classified according to: Simple or compound duct type Structure of their secretory units

31
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Modes of Secretion Merocrine – products are secreted by exocytosis (e.g., pancreas, sweat, and salivary glands) Holocrine – products are secreted by the rupture of gland cells (e.g., sebaceous glands)
