Tissues
5
Four Types of Tissues Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
6
Epithelial Tissue Epidermal membrane – Skin
Serous membrane – linings of the internal cavities (excluding: dorsal cavity and joint cavity) Mucous membrane – linings of digestive and respiratory tracks
7
Epithelial Tissue Characteristics 1. Cells fit close together
2. Membranes always have one free surface 3. Cells are attached to a Basement membrane
8
Epithelial Tissue 4. Avascular – nutrients diffuse from underlying connective tissue 5. Regeneration is easy if well nourished
9
Epithelial Tissue Types
1. Simple – single layer
10
Epithelial Tissue Types
2. Stratified - Stacked
11
Epithelial Tissue Types
3. Glandular: – in glands used to excrete or secrete solutions
12
Simple Epithelial Responsible for Diffusion Filtration Secretion
Absorption
13
Simple Epithelial 1. Squamous Flat Used in filtration
Rapid diffusion of gas into solution
14
Simple Epithelial Simple Squamous Epithelial
15
Simple Epithelial 2. Cuboidal
16
Simple Epithelial 3. Columnar Column shaped
Free surface may have microvilli
17
Simple Epithelial Simple Columnar Epithelial
18
Simple Epithelial Simple columnar epithelial
19
Simple Epithelial 4.Pseudostratified
All cells attached to the basement membrane, may have cilia on the free surface
20
Stratified Epithelial
Passive diffusion is possible Resistant to damage
21
Stratified Epithelial
1. Stratified Squamous Skin Oral cavity Pharynx Vocal chords Esophagus Vagina Anus
22
Stratified Epithelial
Stratified Squamous Epithelial
24
Stratified Epithelial
2. Transitional All squamous Example: Bladder – expands to hold up to 1 liter of fluid
25
Stratified Epithelial
Transitional
27
Glandular Epithelial First type: Endocrine: Ductless
Production of hormones released directly into the blood or lymph system
28
Glandular Epithelial Second type: Exocrine: Retain their ducts
Release of material on an epithelia membrane Ex. Sweat, oil, mammary
29
Tissue Types Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
30
Connective Tissue Most abundant and widely spread
Found in all parts of the body as a discrete structure or as a body organ
31
Connective Tissue Functions:
Protect – bones and adipose (insulate / pad) Support - bones Bind together – ligaments and tendons
32
Connective Tissue Characteristics 1. well vascularized
(few exceptions – cartilage / ligament / tendons) 2. composed of different types of cells 3. contains a matrix (non living material between cells)
33
Connective Tissue Matrix: 1.Produced by the cells then extruded
2. Responsible for strength associated with the tissue 3. Consistency may range from liquid to semisolid to gel like to hard
34
Connective Tissue Hemopoietic and adipose –mostly cells
Matrix 4. Range Hemopoietic and adipose –mostly cells Dense – bone and cartilage – mostly matrix
35
Connective Tissue Collagenic (white) fibers 5. Matrix fibers
Elastic (yellow) fibers Reticular (fine collagenic) fibers
36
Adipose connective tissue
37
Connective Tissue
38
Connective Tissue Blood Erythrocytes and one Leukocyte (monocyte)
39
Connective Tissue
40
Connective Tissue Bone
41
Connective Tissue Dense fibrous
42
Connective Tissue Hyaline Cartilage
43
Connective Tissue
45
Tissue Types Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
46
Muscular Tissue that has the ability to contract and relax to provide movement through space.
47
Muscular Voluntary Types: Skeletal – attached to the skeleton
multinucleated striated Voluntary
48
Muscular Teased Skeletal Muscle
49
Muscular Cardiac Muscle: 1. only found in the heart 2. Multinucleated
3. Striated 4. Intercalated disks at tight junctions
50
Muscular Cardiac muscle / Involuntary
51
Muscular Smooth Muscle: Visceral
Found Inside the walls of hollow organs and blood vessels. Unlike the other two types of muscles No striations & uninucleated
52
Muscular Smooth muscle Teased
53
Muscular
55
Tissue Types Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
56
Nervous Tissue Cells are called Neurons
Cell structure is unique from all other cells in the body Cells migrate Used for the conduction of impulses Length varies from 1mm to 1 meter
58
Nervous Tissue Typical neural cell
59
Nervous Tissue Lower brain stem
60
Nervous Tissue Cerebral cortex
