1
Tissues and tissue types
Tissues are: Collections of specialized cells and cell products organized to perform a limited number of functions Histology = study of tissues The four tissue types are: Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
2
Epithelial tissue Includes glands and epithelium Is avascular
Glands are secretory Is avascular Forms a protective barrier that regulates permeability Cells may show polarity
3
Functions of epithelium
Physical protection Control permeability Provide sensation Produce specialized secretions
4
Specializations of epithelium
Perform secretory functions Perform transport functions Maintain physical integrity Ciliated epithelia move materials across their surface
5
The Polarity of Epithelial Cells
6
Maintaining the integrity of epithelium
Cells attach via cell adhesion molecules (CAM) Cells attach at specialized cell junctions Tight junctions Desmosomes Gap junctions
7
Intercellular connections
8
Structure of typical epithelium
Basal lamina attaches to underlying surface Lamina lucida Lamina densa Germinative cells replace short-lived epithelial cells
9
Classification of epithelia
Number of cell layers Simple Stratified Shape of apical surface cells Squamous Cuboidal Columnar
10

Columnar Epithelia
18
Glandular epithelia Exocrine glands Endocrine glands
Secrete through ducts onto the surface of the gland Endocrine glands Release hormones into surrounding fluid
19
Glandular secretions can be:
Merocrine (product released through exocytosis) Apocrine (involves the loss of both product and cytoplasm) Holocrine (destroys the cell)
20
Mechanisms of Glandular Secretion
21
Glands Unicellular Multicellular Individual secretory cells
Organs containing glandular epithelium Classified according to structure
22
A Structural Classification of Exocrine Glands
23
Connective tissue functions:
Establishing a structural framework Transporting fluids and dissolved materials Protecting delicate organs Supporting, surrounding and interconnecting tissues Storing energy reserves Defending the body from microorganisms
24
A Classification of Connective Tissues
25
Connective tissues contain
Specialized cells Matrix Composed of extracellular protein fibers and a ground substance
26
Connective tissue proper
Contains varied cell populations Contains various fiber types A syrupy ground substance
27
Fluid connective tissue
Contains a distinctive cell population Watery ground substance with dissolved proteins Two types Blood Lymph
28
Supporting connective tissues
Less diverse cell population Dense ground substance Closely packed fibers Two types Cartilage Bone
29
Connective tissue proper
Contains fibers, a viscous ground substance, and a varied cell population Fibroblasts Macrophage Adipocytes Mesenchymal cells Melanocytes Mast cells Lymphocytes Microphages
30
Connective tissue proper
Three types of fiber Collagen fibers Reticular fibers Elastic fibers
31
Connective tissue proper
Classified as loose or dense Loose Embryonic mesenchyme, mucous connective tissues Areolar tissue Adipose tissue Reticular tissue Dense Dense regular CT Dense irregular CT
33
The Cells and Fibers of Connective Tissue Proper
34
Connective Tissue in Embryos
35
Adipose and Reticular Tissues
36
Dense Connective Tissues
37
Dense Connective Tissues
38
Dense Connective Tissues
39
Fluid connective tissues
Distinctive collections of cells in a fluid matrix Blood Formed elements and plasma Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets Arteries carry blood away, veins carry to the heart Capillaries allow diffusion into the interstitial fluid Lymph Interstitial fluid entering the lymphatic vessels
40
Formed Elements of the Blood
41
Supporting connective tissues
Cartilage and bone support the rest of the body Cartilage Grows via interstitial and appositional growth Matrix is a firm gel containing chondroitin sulfate Cells called chondrocytes Cells found in lacunae Perichondrium separates cartilage from surrounding tissues Three types: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage
42
The Perichondrium and Types of Cartilage
43
The Perichondrium and Types of Cartilage
44
The Perichondrium and Types of Cartilage
45
Bone, or osseus tissue Has osteocytes Little ground substance
Depend on diffusion through canaliculi for nutrients Little ground substance Dense mineralized matrix Surrounded by periosteum
46
Bone
