1. Human Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 5 Tissue: The Living Fabric

2. Tissues Groups of cells similar in structure and function The four types of tissues Epithelial - protection Connective - support Muscle - movement Nerve – control 2

3. Epithelial Tissue Cellularity – composed almost entirely of cells Special contacts – form continuous sheets held together by tight junctions and desmosomes Polarity – On one side of epithelium Supported by connective tissue – reticular and basal laminae holding tissues together Avascular but innervated – contains no blood vessels but supplied by nerve fibers Regenerative – rapidly replaces lost cells by cell division 3

4. Classification of Epithelia Simple: single layer of cells Stratified: multiple layers of cells 4 Figure 4.1a

5. Classification of Epithelia Squamous: Flattened and scalelike Cuboidal: tall as they are wide Columnar: Taller than they are wide 5 Figure 4.1b

6. 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, lining of heart, blood vessels and 6

7. Epithelia: Simple Squamous Figure 4.2a

9. Epithelia: Simple Cuboidal Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei Function in secretion and absorption Present in kidney tubules and ovary surface 9 Figure 4.2b

11. Epithelia: Simple Columnar Single layer of tall cells with oval nuclei; many contain cilia Function in absorption and secretion Nonciliated type line digestive tract and Ciliated type line small bronchi and uterine tubes 11

12. Epithelia: Simple Columnar Figure 4.2c

14. Epithelia: Pseudostratified Columnar Single layer of cells with different heights Function in secretion and propulsion of mucus Present in the male sperm-carrying ducts (nonciliated) and trachea (ciliated) 14 Figure 4.2d

15. Epithelia: Stratified Squamous Thick membrane composed of several layers of cells that functions in protecting underlying areas subjected to abrasion Forms the external skin’s epidermis (keratinized cells), esophageal lining mouth, and vagina (nonkeratinized cells).15 Figure 4.2e

16. Epithelia: Stratified Columnar Functions in protection and secretion Present in large ducts of some glands, and in portions of the male urethra 16 Figure 4.2f

17. Epithelia: Transitional Several cell layers, basal cells cuboidal, surface cells dome shaped Stretches to permit the distension of urinary bladder Lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra 17 Figure 4.2g

18. Epithelial Membranes Cutaneous – Skin, keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis). Attached to a thick connective layer (dermis). 18 Figure 4.9a

19. Epithelial Membranes Mucous – lines body cavities open to the exterior (e.g., digestive and respiratory tracts) Serous – moist membranes found in closed ventral body cavity 19 Figure 4.9b

20. Epithelial Membranes Figure 4.9c

21. Glandular Epithelia 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 21

22. Endocrine Glands Ductless glands that produce hormones Secretions include amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, and steroids 22

23. Exocrine Glands More numerous than endocrine Secrete their products onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities; examples: mucous, sweat, oil, and salivary glands The only important unicellular gland is the goblet cell Multicellular exocrine glands are composed of a duct & secretory unit 23

24. Multicellular Exocrine Glands Classified according to: Simple or compound duct type 24 Figure 4.3

27. Connective Tissue Found throughout the body; connects body parts, supports, protects, insulates and transports material. Connective tissue proper Cartilage Bone Blood 27

28. Characteristics of Connective Tissue Connective tissues have: Mesenchyme as their common tissue of origin Varying degrees of vascularity Nonliving extracellular matrix, consisting of ground substance and fibers 28

29. Structural Elements of Connective Tissue Ground substance – unstructured material that fills the space between cells 29

30. Structural Elements of Connective Tissue Fibers Collagen – tough; provides high tensile strength Elastin – long, thin fibers that allow for stretch and recoil; giving tissue a resilient quality Reticular – branched fibers that construct a protective mesh around capillaries and organs 30

31. Structural Elements of Connective Tissue Cells Fibroblasts – connective tissue proper Chondroblasts – cartilage Osteoblasts – bone Hemocytoblasts (Hematopoietic stem cells): RBCs, WBCs, plasma cells, macrophages, and mast cells 31

32. Connective Tissue Figure 4.6

33. Connective Tissue (CT): Embryonic Mesenchyme – embryonic CT Gives rise to all other connective tissues Found in the embryo 33 Figure 4.8a

35. Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Areolar CT Fibroblasts, macrophages & some WBCs Wraps and cushions organs & is widely distributed throughout the body 35 Figure 4.8b

37. Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Adipose CT Reserve food stores, insulates against heat loss, supports & protects Found under skin, around kidneys, abdomen, and in breasts 37 Figure 4.8c

39. Connective Tissue Proper: Loose Reticular CT Forms a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types Found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and the spleen 39 Figure 4.8d

41. Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Regular Major cell type is fibroblasts Attaches muscles to bone or to other muscles, & bone to bone Found in tendons and ligaments 41 Figure 4.8e

43. Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Irregular Irregularly arranged collagen fibers with some elastic fibers Withstands tension in many directions providing structural strength Found in the dermis & submucosa of the digestive tract 43 Figure 4.8f

45. Connective Tissue: Cartilage Connects Bone to Bone Tough Yet Flexible 45

46. Connective Tissue: Cartilage Figure 4.8g Hyaline cartilage Supports, reinforces, cushions, and resists compression Forms the costal cartilage, covers bone to absorb stress Found in: embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, nose, trachea, and larynx 46

47. Connective Tissue: Cartilage Elastic cartilage Similar to hyaline cartilage but with more elastic fibers Maintains shape and structure while allowing flexibility Supports external ear (pinna) and the epiglottis 47 Figure 4.8h

48. Connective Tissue: Cartilage Fibrocartilage Matrix similar to hyaline cartilage but less firm with thick collagen fibers Provides strength & absorbs compression Found in intervertebral discs and in discs of the knee joint 48 Figure 4.8i

49. Connective Tissue: Bone (Osseous Tissue) * Hard, light with an exceptional ability to support and protect soft tissue Calcified matrix with collagen fibers found in bone Supports, protects, and provides levers for muscular action Stores calcium, minerals, and fat Marrow in bones is site of hematopoiesis 49

57. Tissue Trauma Causes inflammation, characterized by: Dilation of blood vessels Increase in vessel permeability Redness, heat, swelling, and pain 57

58. Tissue Repair 1. Organization & restored blood supply 2. Surface epithelium regenerates and the scab detaches 58 Figure 4.12a

59. Tissue Repair Fibrous tissue matures and begins to resemble the adjacent tissue 59 Figure 4.12b

60. Tissue Repair Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with underlying scar tissue 60 Figure 4.12c

61. Effects of Aging on Tissues Epithelial sheets become thin and are more easily damaged Circulation decreases (sense of feeling cold) Lack of protein weakens tissue (softer foods) 61
