1
Tissues are groups of cells similar in structure and function
2
the 3 primary germ layers 1. Ectoderm 2. Endoderm 3. Mesoderm These give rise to all the basic tissues of the body
3
The four types of tissues. Epithelial Connective Muscle Nerve
4
Describe the characteristics & functions of epithelial tissue. LT#1 Forms continuous sheets over the body surface & most of the bodies inner cavities Protects the body from drying out, injury, bacterial exposure Inside specialized - cilia sweeps impurities from GI tract, secretes mucus to protect from acids, microvilli in kidneys increases absorption Replaces lost cells by cell division (regenerative)
5
Tissue cell shapes 101 Simple Stratified = layering
6
Tissue cell shapes 101 Squamous, cuboidal, or columnar-cell shape
7
Name the major types of epithelial tissues, relate each one to an organ. LT#2 simple squamous simple cuboidal simple columnar pseudostratified columnar stratified squamous stratified cuboidal stratified columnar transitional
8
Visual
9
simple squamous (flattened) Single layer of flattened cells with disc- shaped nuclei and sparse cytoplasm Functions: Diffusion and filtration Provides a slick, friction-reducing lining in lymphatic and cardiovascular systems
10
Simple squamous
11
Simple cuboidal Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei Found in the liver – make insulin & glucagon Also found on surface of ovaries, duct linings of glands, lining tubules of kidneys Function in secretion and absorption
12
Simple cuboidal
13
Simple columnar Single layer of tall cells with oval nuclei; many contain cilia Goblet cells are often found in this layer Function in absorption and secretion Non-ciliated type line digestive tract and gallbladder Ciliated type line small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus Cilia help move substances through internal passageways
14
Simple columnar
15
Simple columnar with goblet cells (secrete mucus)
16
Pseudostratified Columnar Single layer of cells with different heights; some do not reach the free surface Nuclei are seen at different levels Found in lungs and nasal cavities Also found in linings of repro sys tubes Function in secretion and propulsion of mucus & sex cells
17
Pseudostratified Columnar
18
Stratified Squamous Thick membrane composed of several layers of cells Function in protection of underlying areas subjected to abrasion Forms the external part of the skin’s epidermis (keratinized cells), and linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina (nonkeratinized cells)
19
Stratified squamous
20
Stratified squamous from esophagus
21
Stratified squamous from skin
22
Stratified cuboidal Quite rare in the body Found in some sweat and mammary glands
23
Stratified cuboidal
24
Stratified columnar Limited distribution in the body Found in the pharynx, male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts, salivary ducts
25
Stratified columnar
26
Transitional Several cell layers, basal cells are cuboidal, surface cells are dome shaped Stretches to permit the distension of the urinary bladder Lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra
27
Transitional
28
Transitional collapsed & distended
29
glandular epithelium and how it is classified A gland is one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid Classified by: -Site of product release – endocrine or exocrine -Relative number of cells forming the gland – unicellular or multicellular
30
Glandular epithelium
31
22) What is an endocrine gland, what do they secrete and how do they do it? 23) What is an exocrine gland, what do they secrete and how do they do it? 24) Give the major types of connective tissue and some examples. 25) What are the general functions of connective tissue? 26) What are the common characteristics of connective tissue? 27) What are the three major structural elements of connective tissue? 28) What type of cells do you find in connective tissue and where would you find them? 29) What are the two types of loose connective tissue proper given and what characterizes them? 30) What are the two types of dense connective tissue proper given and what characterizes them?
32
31) Describe the three different types of cartilage: what they are made of, their functions and where you would find them? 1. Hyaline cartilage 2. Elastic cartilage 3. Fibrocartilage cartilage
33
1. Hyaline Cartilage Looks like jelly – does not heal and usually is cut out when injured with hope of gaining muscle to compensate for the loss Chondrocytes lie in lacunae (a small space containing an osteocyte in bone or chondrocyte in cartilage) Supports, reinforces, cushions, and resists compression
34
Hyaline cartilage Forms the costal cartilage Found in embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, nose, trachea, and larynx
35
2. Elastic Cartilage Similar to hyaline cartilage but with more elastic fibers Maintains shape and structure while allowing flexibility Supports external ear (pinna) and the epiglottis
36
Elastic cartilage has “little eyes”
37
3. Fibrocartilage cartilage Matrix similar to hyaline cartilage but less firm with thick collagen fibers Provides tensile strength and absorbs compression shock Found in intervertebral discs, the pubic symphysis, and in discs of the knee joint
38
Fibrocartilage
39
32) Give the characteristics and functions of osseous tissue. Hard, calcified matrix with collagen fibers found in bone Osteocytes are found in lacunae and are well vascularized
40
Osseous Tissue
41
Osseous Tissue cont’d Supports, protects, and provides levers for muscular action Stores calcium, minerals, and fat Marrow inside bones is the site of hematopoiesis Bones will change shape with pressure: braces/jawbone, tight shoes/bunions, hammer toe
42
Bone marrow: 2 kinds 1. Red marrow – site of hematopoiesis 2. Yellow marrow – fat (this is why you make soup from bones)
43
hematopoietic bone marrow of flat bones vertebrae, sternum, ribs, iliac. It represents 4-6% of body weight. The fatty degeneration of red bone marrow (RBM) (25%) into yellow bone marrow (YBM) (75%) is completed around age 21 years.bones
44
Red marrow C hematopoietic tissue forming new blood cells.
45
Yellow marrow
46
33) Give the characteristics and functions of blood. Red (carry O 2, CO 2 ) and white cells (defense) in a fluid matrix (plasma) Contained within blood vessels Functions in the transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes
47
Blood
48
34) Describe and give the functions of nervous tissue? Where is it found? Branched neurons with long cellular processes and support cells Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors (using ions) Found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves
49
Nervous Tissue: unique shape carries signals (like wire) but uses ions – not electricity
50
35) Describe and give the functions of the three types of muscle tissue. 1. Skeletal 2. Cardiac 3. Smooth
51
1. Skeletal Muscle - voluntary
52
Skeletal Muscle - voluntary Muscles contract and things move The food muscle LONG cells that can stretch from knee to hip and have multiple nuclei
53
Skeletal Muscle cells are cylindrical and multinucleated
54
2. Cardiac muscle - involuntary
55
Cardiac muscle special jxns An intercalated disc is an undulating double membrane separating adjacent cells in cardiac muscle fibers. Intercalated discs support synchronized contraction of cardiac tissue. cardiac muscle
56
3. Smooth muscle Sheets of spindle-shaped cells with central nuclei that have no striations Propels substances along internal passageways (i.e., peristalsis) Found in the walls of hollow organs
57
Smooth muscle
