Body Tissues and Membranes
Chapter 4
2
Lesson 1 Body Tissues
3
Do Now October 27, 2014 What are tissues?
Name 3 different types of tissues in our bodies. Tissues
4
Tissue Specialized cells of similar structures that perform common functions 1. Epithelial – covers and lines body surfaces and organs 2. Connective – binds and supports body parts 3. Muscular – contracts for voluntary and involuntary movements 4. Nervous – responds to stimuli
5
Epithelial Tissue Tightly packed External: Protects from drying out
Protects from injury Protects from infection Internal: protection and special jobs Lines respiratory tract Sweeps out toxins with cilia
6
Epithelial Tissue Simple squamous – single layer of flattened cells, found in areas where simple diffusion occurs Stratified squamous – many cell layers, plays a protective role Simple cuboidal – single layer of cube-shaped cells attached to a basement membrane, found in glands, also covers the ovaries and lines kidney tubules Stratified cuboidal – found lining the larger ducts of glands, has two layers
7
Epithelial Cells Simple columnar – cells that are longer than they are wide, modified to perform particular functions, known for lining digestive organs Pseudostratified columnar – appears to be layer, but true layers don’t exist, each cell touches basement membrane, tapered and narrow at one end Transitional – changes is response to tension, found in lining of urinary bladder, ureters, part of urethra
8
Connective Tissue Functions: Classifications: Binds structures Support
Protection Fill space Produce blood cells Store fat Fibrous Cartilage Bone Blood
9
Connective Tissue Fibrous
Loose – lies between other tissues or between organs Ex. Adipose tissue (store fat) Dense – contain thick bundles of collagen fibers Ex. Tendons, ligaments
10
Connective Tissue Cartilage – solid yet flexible, lack direct blood supply, heals very slowly Three types Hyaline – most common, strong and durable, yet flexible found in nose, end of long bones and ribs, supporting rings of trachea Elastic – more flexible than hyaline Found in framework of outer ear Fibrocartilage – strong collagen fibers, absorbs shock and reduces friction between joints
11
Connective Tissue Bone – most rigid connective tissue
Compact bone – outer portion of long bone, many cylindrical-shaped units called osteons Spongy bone – numerous bony bars and plates, lighter, but designed for strength
12
Connective Tissue Blood – composed of formed elements suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma Types of formed elements Red blood cells – carry oxygen White blood cells – aid in fighting infection Platelets – important for initiating blood clotting
13
Nervous Tissue Location: Functions: Brain Spinal cord
Central nervous system Peripheral nervous system Detect and respond to stimuli Send messages through neurons
14
Neuron
15
Neuroglia Support and nourish neurons Make up half of the brain
Outnumber neurons 9:1
16
Brain Neuroglia Microglia: engulf bacteria and cell debris
Astrocytes: nutrients, hormone (growth factor) which may cure parkinsons Oligodendrocytes: form myelin Ependymal cells: line hollow cavities of the brain

Examining Muscle Tissue
Lesson 2 Examining Muscle Tissue
19
Do Now Take out homework from Monday night & Tissues Lab
Read pg. 70 Medical Focus: “Necrotizing Fasciitis” Answer the following questions: What causes Necrotizing Fasciitis? What is necrotizing? What are the symptoms? What can you do to prevent this condition?
20
Muscular Tissue Contractile
Muscle fibers: proteins that slide across each other to contract/relax and create movement Actin – Thin filament Myosin – Thick filament
21
Skeletal Muscle Functions: Characteristics: Voluntary
Attaches tendons and ligaments to bone Muscle contractions = shorten Muscle relaxation = lengthen Striated (striped) Long Cylindrical shaped Multinucleated
22
Smooth Muscle Functions: Characteristics: Involuntary
Found in hollow organs Ex: stomach, esophagus, bladder, intestines Non-striated Spindle shaped Multinucleated
23
Cardiac Muscle Functions: Characteristics: Involuntary
Contracts to pump blood within the heart and blood vessels Striated Branched, look like one large muscle Single nuclei
24
Extracellular Junction
Tight Junction: impermeable barrier (epithelial tissue) Stomach, intestine, kidney, bladder Gap Junction: allows small molecules Heart for synchronization Adhesion Junction: don’t touch, held together by filaments Cervix to allow opening without tearing during childbirth
25
Match each type of extracellular junction to its function:
Content Check Match each type of extracellular junction to its function: Adhesion junction Tight junction Gap junction Allows ions and small molecules to pass between cells Prevent adjacent cells from tearing apart Forms an impermeable barrier
26
In class Assignment Muscle Cell Lab – Finish for homework
27
Glands/Cancer/Membranes
Lesson 3 Glands/Cancer/Membranes
28
Do Now Read pg. 76 Medical Focus: “Cancer – The Traitor Inside”
Answer the following questions 1. How does the reading characterize cancer? 2. How are cancers classified and briefly explain their classification? 3. What are types of treatments for cancer?
29
In class assignment Watch video MD Anderson “What is Cancer?”
30
Glands Cells which produce a product
Exocrine Endocrine Release products outside of the body Ex: sweat, mammary Release products internally Promote homeostasis Made up of epithelial tissues Ex: thyroid, adrenal, testes, ovaries, pancreas, parathyroid
31
Membranes Functions: Types:
Line internal spaces of organs and tubes that open to the outside Line body cavities Mucous Serous Synovial Meninges Cutaneous
32
Mucous Membranes Functions: Examples:
Line interior walls of organs that open to the outside of the body Protect from bacteria and viruses Digestive Respiratory Excretory reproductive
33
Serous Membranes Functions: Examples: Line cavities Cover organs
Epithelial tissue Pleurae: line lungs Pericardium: covers heart Peritoneum: lines abdomen
34
Synovial Membranes Functions: Examples:
Line free moving joint cavities Ball and socket Hinge Pivot Gliding Saddle
35
Meninges Cutaneous Protect brain and spinal cord Skin
Outer covering of the body Keratin Epithelial tissue
36
Match each type of membrane to its function:
Content Check Match each type of membrane to its function: C Synovial membrane Cutaneous membrane Mucous membrane Forms outer covering of the body Lines walls of organs that open to the outside of the body Lines the interior of a joint capsule A B
