Chapter 5 - Tissues Groups of cells that have specialized structural and functional roles
3
There are 4 types of tissues in the human body.
4
1.Epithelial – covering, lining 2.Muscle – contracts 3.Connective – bone, adipose (fat), blood, etc. 4.Nerve – sends impulses
5
Epithelial Tissue Anchored to a basement membrane that is anchored by its underside to connective tissue. The basement membrane is NONLIVING. Always has a free space exposed to the outside or open space internally - lumen
6
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues Usually lack blood vessels Readily divide Tightly packed for protection Secretion, absorption, excretion, sensory reception
7
Organized by layering and cell shape
8
By layering Simple – extends from basement membrane to lumen – 1 layer Stratified – layered from basement membrane to lumen area Pseudostratified – “seemingly-layered”, but not Nuclei at various levels of cells makes the appearance of layers
9
By cell shape Squamous – flat cells Cuboidal – cube-shaped Columnar – elongated and thin – like columns
10
Usually both designations are used to distinguish the type of epithelial tissue!!! ** Denotes that you should know of an example or where these are located in the human body. You will be expected to know this.**
11
**Simple Squamous Epithelium
12
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Nuclei are broad and thin Diffusion occurs here Where? –Alveoli –Capillary walls
13
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
14
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Nuclei are spheres Secretion and absorption More protection than previous kind Where? –Lines kidney tubules –Ducts of salivary glands and pancreas
15
Simple Columnar Epithelium
16
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Thicker than either previous ones Nuclei near basement membrane Have microvilli and goblet cells Where? –Lines uterus –Lines most organs of digestive tract
17
**Pseudostratified columnar Epithelium
18
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Appear layered, but are not (nuclei at various levels) Commonly have cilia and goblet cells Where? –Line respiratory tract
19
**Stratified Squamous Epithelium
20
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Many layers thick Division of cells in deep layer push old out Where? –Epidermis of skin – keratin –Mouth lining –Vagina lining –Anal canal
21
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
22
What would this be used for or where would we find it? More protection than simple 2 or 3 layers of cuboidal cells that form lining of lumen Where? –Lines mammary glands –Sweat glands –pancreas
23
Stratified Columnar Epitheliem
24
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Layers Where? –Male urethra and vas deferens –pharynx
25
**Transitional Epithelium
26
What would this be used for or where would we find it? Changes in response to an increase in tension Where? –Inner lining of urinary bladder –Lines urethra
27
**Glandular Epithelium
28
There are two basic kinds of glands: Exocrine – secrete products into ducts Endocrine – secrete products into tissue fluid or blood
29
Cells in these glandular tissues secrete fluids a number of ways: Merocrine – release watery, protein-rich fluids by exocytosis Apocrine – lose small portions during secretion Holocrine – entire cell lyses during secretion Kinds of fluids: Serous cells – watery fluids released Mucous cells – thicker mucin released
30
Section 5.3 – Connective Tissues
31
Connective tissue serves many purposes in the body: binding supporting protecting forming blood storing fats filling space
32
There is a matrix of fibers, cells, and ground substance Usually, the cells can divide and have a good blood supply and nourishment.
33
Major Cell Types: Fibroblasts – large, star-shaped Macrophages – “wandering cells” – are scavengers and defensive cells – phagocytes Mast cells – large and located near blood vessels – release heparin and histamine
34
Connective Tissue Fibers 1.Collagenous Fibers – thick threads of the protein collagen – form dense, connective tissue – appear white - in ligaments and tendons 2.Elastic Fibers – composed of thinner elastin – allow stretching – appear yellow – in vocal chords 3.Reticular Fibers – thin, collagenous fibers – branched for delicate support
35
Collagen Fibers
36
Elastin Fibers
37
Types of Connective Tissue 1. Loose Connective Tissue (areolar) 2. Adipose Tissue 3. Dense Connective Tissue 4. Cartilage 5. Bone 6. Blood
38
1. Loose Connective Tissue – (Areolar) Delicate, thin, membranes Contains many fibroblasts located apart that secrete collagen and elastin fibers Fills spaces Binds skin to underlying organs **See transparency
39
2. Adipose Tissue Fat Forms when connective tissue stores fat in droplets and they enlarge to crowd out other cells
40
3. Dense Connective Tissue Closely-packed, thick, collagenous fibers Few cells Very strong Ligaments and Tendons See transparency
41
4. Cartilage Rigid Chondrocytes Perichondrium NO direct blood supply to cartilage
42
Hyaline Cartilage Most common Ends of bones, soft part of nose, between ribs
43
Elastic Cartilage Elastic fibers Flexible External ears, larynx
44
Fibrocartilage Tough tissue with many collagenous fibers Shock absorber Pads between bones
45
5. Bone Most rigid of connective tissue Mineral salts and collagen Supports, portects, forms blood cells, stores Ca and P Osteonic canals Osteocytes canaliculi
46
6. Blood RBC’s, WBC’s, platelets, plasma
47
Section 5.4 – Muscle Tissues – contractile fibers
48
Skeletal Muscle Attach to bones Voluntary Striations A nerve impulse stimulates contraction
49
Smooth Muscle No striations Involuntary On walls of internal organs
50
Cardiac Muscle Only in heart Striations Involutary Branched fibers Intercalated discs
51
Section 5.5 – Nervous Tissues
52
Neurons In brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves Sense and respond by sending impulses to muscles or glands Coordinate, regulate, and integrate functions **Neuroglial cells
