1
What are the four tissues of the body? Our body is made from these 4 tissues
2
Epithelial Tissue Covers exposed surfaces Lines internal passageways Forms glands
3
Connective Tissue Fills internal spaces Supports other tissues Transports material - cells Stores energy
4
Muscle Tissue Specialized for contraction Skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and walls of hollow organs
5
Neural Tissue Carries electrical signals from 1 part of the body to another
6
KEY CONCEPT Tissues are collections of cells and cell products that perform specific, limited functions 4 tissue types form all the structures of the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and neural
7
What are the special structures and functions of epithelial tissues?
8
Characteristics of Epithelia 1.Cellularity (cell junctions) 2.Polarity (apical and basal surfaces) 3.Attachment (basal lamina) 4.Avascularity 5.Regeneration
9
Functions of Epithelial Tissue 1.Provide physical protection 2.Control permeability 3.Provide sensation 4.Produce specialized secretions (glandular epithelium)
10
Specializations of Epithelial Cells 1.Move fluids over the epithelium (protection) 2.Move fluids through the epithelium (permeability) 3.Produce secretions (protection and messengers)
11
Figure 4–1 Free Surface and Attached Surface Polarity: apical and basolateral surfaces
12
Increasing Surface Area Microvilli increase absorption or secretion Cilia (ciliated epithelium) move fluids
13
Effective Barriers Physical integrity is maintained by: intercellular connections attachment to basal lamina maintenance and repair
14
Cell Junctions Form bonds with other cells or extracellular material: tight junctions gap junctions desmosomes
15
Tight Junctions Between 2 cell membranes Figure 4–2b
16
Tight Junctions Adhesion belt attaches to terminal web Prevents passage of water and solutes Isolates wastes in the lumen
17
Gap Junctions Allow rapid communications Figure 4–2c
18
Gap Junctions Held together by channel proteins (junctional proteins, connexons) Allow ions to pass Coordinated contractions in heart muscle
19
Desmosomes CAMs, dense areas, and intercellular cement Figure 4–2d
20
Desmososmes Button desmosomes Ties cells together Allow bending and twisting
21
Attachment to Basal Lamina Hemidesmosomes Figure 4–2e
22
Basal Lamina Lamina lucida: thin layer secreted by epithelia barrier to proteins Lamina densa: thick fibers produced by connective tissue strength and filtration
23
Repairing and Replacing Epithelia Epithelia are replaced by division of germinative cells (stem cells) Near basal lamina
24
Classes of Epithelia Based on shape and layers Table 4–1
25
Layers Simple epithelium: single layer of cells Stratified epithelium: several layers of cells
26
Cell Shape Squamous epithelia: flat shaped Cuboidal epithelia: square shaped Columnar epithelia: tall shaped
27
Squamous Epithelia Simple squamous epithelium: absorption and diffusion Mesothelium: lines body cavities Endothelium: lines heart and blood vessels
28
Figure 4–3a Simple Squamous Epithelium
29
Figure 4–3b Stratified Squamous Epithelium
30
Protects against attacks Keratin proteins add strength and water resistance
31
Cuboidal Epithelia Simple cuboidal epithelium: secretion and absorption Stratified cuboidal epithelia: sweat and mammary ducts
32
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Kidney tubules Figure 4–4a
33
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Sweat gland ducts Figure 4–4b
34
Transitional Epithelium Urinary bladder Figure 4–4c
35
Columnar Epithelia Simple columnar epithelium: absorption and secretion Pseudostratified columnar epithelium: cilia movement Stratified columnar epithelium: protection
36
Simple Columnar Epithelium Intestinal lining Figure 4–5a
37
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Trachea Figure 4–5b
38
Stratified Columnar Epithelium Salivary gland duct Figure 4–5c
39
Mechanisms of Glandular Secretion PLAY Glandular Epithelia Endocrine and exocrine glands Figure 4–6
40
Endocrine Glands Release hormones: into interstitial fluid no ducts
41
Exocrine Glands Produce secretions: onto epithelial surfaces through ducts
42
Modes of Secretion Merocrine secretion (GA produces and secreted by vesicles) Figure 4–6a
43
Modes of Secretion Apocrine secretion (GA produces and released by shedding cytoplasm) Figure 4–6b
44
Modes of Secretion Holocrine secretion (released by bursting and killing the cell) Figure 4–6c
45
Types of Secretions Serous glands: watery secretions Mucous glands: secrete mucins Mixed exocrine glands: both serous and mucous
46
Gland Structure Exocrine glands can be classified as: unicellular glands multicellular glands
47
Structure of Multicellular Exocrine Glands Structural classes of exocrine glands Figure 4–7 (1 of 2)
48
Structure of Multicellular Exocrine Glands Figure 4–7 (2 of 2)
49
What are the structures and functions of different types of connective tissues?
50
Connective Tissues Connect epithelium to the rest of the body (basal lamina) Provide structure (bone) Store energy (fat) Transport materials (blood) Have no contact with environment
51
The Matrix The extracellular components of connective tissues (fibers and ground substance): majority of cell volume determines specialized function
52
Classification of Connective Tissues Connective tissue proper: connect and protect Fluid connective tissues: transport Supportive connective tissues: structural strength
53
Connective Tissue Proper Figure 4–8
54
Categories of Connective Tissue Proper Loose connective tissue: more ground substance, less fibers e.g., fat (adipose tissue) Dense connective tissue: more fibers, less ground substance e.g., tendons
55
8 Cell Types of Connective Tissue Proper Fibroblasts Macrophages Adipocytes Mesenchymal cells Melanocytes Mast cells Lymphocytes Microphages
56
Fibroblasts The most abundant cell type: found in all connective tissue proper secrete proteins and hyaluronan (cellular cement) Makes ground substance and structural fibers
57
Macrophages Large, amoeba-like cells of the immune system: eat pathogens and damaged cells fixed macrophages stay in tissue free macrophages migrate
58
Adipocytes Fat cells: each cell stores a single, large fat droplet
59
Mesenchymal Cells Stem cells that respond to injury or infection: differentiate into fibroblasts, macrophages, etc.
60
Melanocytes Synthesize and store the brown pigment melanin
61
Mast Cells Stimulate inflammation after injury or infection: release histamine and heparin Basophils are mast cells carried by blood
62
Lymphocytes Specialized immune cells in lymphatic system: e.g., plasma cells which produce antibodies
63
Microphages Phagocytic blood cells: respond to signals from macrophages and mast cells e.g., neutrophils and eosinophils
64
Fibers in Connective Tissue Proper Collagen fibers: most common fibers in CTP long, straight, and unbranched strong and flexible resists force in 1 direction e.g., tendons and ligaments
65
Fibers in Connective Tissue Proper Reticular fibers: network of interwoven fibers (stroma) strong and flexible resists force in many directions stabilizes functional cells (parenchyma) and structures e.g., sheaths around organs
66
Fibers in Connective Tissue Proper Elastic fibers: contain elastin branched and wavy return to original length after stretching e.g., elastic ligaments of vertebrae
67
Loose Connective Tissues The packing materials of the body 3 types in adults: areolar adipose reticular
68
Areolar Tissue Least specialized Open framework Viscous ground substance Elastic fibers Holds blood vessels and capillary beds: e.g., under skin (subcutaneous layer)
69
Adipose Tissue Contains many adipocytes (fat cells) Figure 4–10a
70
Adipose Cells Adipocytes in adults do not divide: expand to store fat shrink as fats are released Mesenchymal cells divide and differentiate: to produce more fat cells when more storage is needed
