1 Histology – Epithelium Tissue
Unit 4 – Chapter 3

2 Body Tissues Cells are generalized for particular functions Tissue
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function Histology Study of tissues

3 Body Tissues 4 Primary Tissue Types Epithelium Connective Nervous
Protection, secretion, absorption, filtation Connective Support, structure Nervous Communication, control Muscle Movement (internal & external)

4 (Epithelial, Muscle, Connective)
Primary Germ Layers Endoderm (Epithelial) Mesoderm (Epithelial, Muscle, Connective) Ectoderm (Epithelial, Nervous) Digestive & respiratory epithelium Muscles Epidermis Urethra epithelium Skeleton (bones & cartilage) Lining of mouth, anus, nostrils Bladder Blood Sweat & sebaceous glands Liver & pancreas Blood vessel epithelium Hair Dermis Brain & spinal cord Excretory & reproductive organs Eyes, nose, ear epithelium

5 Epithelium tissues Epithelium
Epithe = laid on or covering The lining, covering, and glandular tissue of the body Glandular epithelium forms various glands in the body Covering and lining epithelium covers all free body surfaces Outer layer of skin Line body cavities Nearly all substances given off or received by the body must pass through epithelium

6 Epithelial Tissues Epithelial Functions Protection Sensory Secretion
Absorption Excretion

7 Characteristics of Epithelium
High Cellularity Cells fit closely together Very little extracellular matrix Contains specialized contacts Tight junctions & desmosomes Avascular No blood vessels within it Diffusion provides nutrients & carries wastes away Lots of nerve fibers

8 Characteristics of Epithelium
Reinforcement & Connection Defines Boundaries Remember – cancer causes a breach in these boundaries Regenerates easily if well nourished Found in areas of high friction Exposed surfaces of some epithelia are slick and smooth but others exhibit cell surface modifications, such as microvilli or cilia

9 Characteristics of Epithelium
Membranes always have one free surface or edge Apical Surface Exposed to the body’s exterior or to the cavity of an internal organ The lower surface of an epithelium rests on a basement membrane, a material secreted by the cells

11 Classification of Epithelium
Epithelium is given 2 names Name is a combination of the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells 1st indicates the relative number of cell layers Simple = one layer of cells Stratified = two or more layers of cells 2nd describes the shape of its cells at the free surface Squamous = flattened like fish scales Cuboidal = cube-shaped like dice Columnar = shaped like columns

14 Classification of Epithelium
Pseudostratified “False” layers Ciliated (respiratory tract) Non-ciliated (male urethra) Transitional Multiple layers of epithelial cells, “hodge-podge” Found in urinary tract Can look cuboidal until bladder stretches, then looks squamous

15 Simple Epithelia Simple epithelia are most concerned with absorption, secretin, and filtration Because they are usually very thin, protection is not one of their specialties

16 Simple Squamous Epithelium
Structure Single layer of flat, hexagonal cells Cells are so flat, the nuclei appear as bumps on a cross section Distribution Lining of blood & lymph vessels (endothelium) Small ducts, aveoli of the lungs, loop of Henle in kidney tubules Lining of serous membranes (mesothelium), and inner surface of the eardrum Function Diffusion, filtration, secretion, absorption Protection against friction

17 Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Structure Multiple layers are cuboidal in basal layer and progressively flatten toward the surface Moist stratified squamous Epithelium surface cells retain a nucleus and cytoplasm Keratinized cells Cytoplasm is replaced by keratin Cells are dead Distribution Moist – mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, anus, vagina, inferior urethra, and cornea Keratinized – skin Function Protection against abrasion and infection

18 Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Structure Single layer of cube-shaped cells Some have cilia or microvilli Distribution Glands and their ducts Terminal bronchioles of lungs Kidney tubules Choroid plexus of the brain Surface of the ovaries Function Absorption and secretion by cells of the kidney tubules; secretion by cells of the choroid plexus and glands Movement of mucus particles out of the terminal bronchioles by ciliated cells

19 Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Structure Multiple layers of somewhat cube- shaped cells Distribution Sweat gland ducts & ovarian follicular cells Function Secretion, absorption, and protection against infection

20 Simple Columnar Epithelium
Structure Single layer of tall, narrow cells Some cells have cilia (bronchioles of lungs, audiotyr tubes, uterine tubes, uterus) or microvilli (intestines) Distribution Glands and some ducts, bronchioles of lungs, auditory tube, uterus, uterine tubes, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, bile ducts, & ventricles of the brain Function Movement of particles out of the bronchioles of the lungs Partially responsible for the movement of the egg through the uterine tubes by ciliated cells Secretion by cells of the glands, the stomach, and the intestine Absorption by cells of the intestine

21 Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Structure Multiple layers of cells with tall, thin cells resting on layers of more cuboidal cells Ciliated in the larynx Distribution Mammary gland duct, larynx, and a portion of the male urethra Function Protection & secretion

22 Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Structure Single layer of cells All the clels are attached to the basement membrane Some cells are tall and thin and reach the free surface and other don’t Nuclei of these cells are at different levels and appear stratified Cells are almost always ciliated and are assoiciated with goblet cells Distribution Larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, auditory tube, trachea, and bronchi of the lungs Function Movement of fluid (often mucus) that contains foreign particles

23 Transitional Epithelium
Structure Stratified cells that appear cube-like when the organ or tube is relaxed and appear squamous when the organ or tube is distended by fluid Distribution Urinary bladder, ureters, and superior urethra Function Formation of a permeability barrier and protection against caustic effect of urine Accommodation of fluid-content fluctuations in organ or tube

24 Epithelial Membranes Mucous Membranes Cutaneous Membranes
Line body cavities OPEN to exterior Examples: digestive, respiratory, urogenital Mucus protects by trapping microorganisms, substances in mucus Cutaneous Membranes Skin Helps waterproof & protect body First line of defense in immune system Serous Membranes Lines all CLOSED body cavities Serous fluid located between layers to reduce friction due to organ motion
