1
HISTOLOGY “What is that icky little tissue?”
2
Not All Cells Are Alike: Multi-Cellular Organisms: Require Cellular Specialization JOB BREAKDOWN: Coverings Support Movement Control - Signaling
3
Tissues: “ Tissues: “Tissu” = Woven (Fabric) Epithelial: Coverings Connective: Support Muscle: Movement Nervous: Control - Signaling
4
Benefits and Pitfalls: What is gained by cellular specialization? What is sacrificed?
5
Tissues: Groups of cells with common structure and function
6
Epithelial Tissues “Covers” and “Boundries” Apical - Free Surface Basal - Basement Membrane
7
Basement Membrane Mix of CHO and Proteins Made by epithelial cells and underlying tissues (connective or muscle) Allows diffusion to epithelial cells
8
Classification Number of Layers: 1=simple, 2+ = stratified, (pseudostratified) Cell shapes: Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar
9
Structure / Function Relationships: Squamous: Thin layer, minimizing diffusion distance; smooth “covering” Cuboidal: Greater volume – greater metabolic activity Columnar: Complex functions – often secretory, having cilia/microvilli
10
Epithelial Functions Regulate passage of materials across epithelial layers Protect underlying layers Secretion / Absorption
11
QUESTION: What type of cells would you expect to find in blood capillaries?
12
What kind of cells in your mouth? Why?
13
Answers Answers: ENDOTHELIUM: Simple Squamous: short distance for diffusion Stratified squamous: protects against abrasion
14
Types of Connections Tight Junctions: Barriers Desmosomes: Mechanical Strength Gap Junction: Allow intercellular communication
15
Cell Connections Cell Connections: Turn Isolated Cells into Tissues - communities Allow communication Coordinate Function
16
Assignment: Do your Tissue Presentations and Overheads You (and possibly a partner) will be assigned to explain one type of tissue to the class: Discuss:(Information in Chapt4) Location Structure/Function Identify from an overhead
17
Presentation Grades Presentation Grades: Assignment worth 20 points Accuracy (10) Clarity (5) Thoroughness (5)
18
