1. Tissues Chapter 3: Part 2

2. Introduction to Tissues Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function. Organs contain several tissue types. – Arrangement of tissue determines the structure and ability of organs. http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/RITCHISO//tissues.gif

3. Introduction to Tissues Many Types of Tissues – Epithelial Tissue  Covering – Connective Tissue  Support – Muscle Tissue  Movement – Nervous Tissue  Control

4. Epithelial Tissues The lining, covering, and glandular tissues General Functions: – Protection – Absorption – Filtration – Secretion

5. Epithelial Tissues Special Characteristics: – Fit closely together to form continuous sheets – Apical Surface- a free surface or edge that is exposed – Basement Membrane- lower surface – Avascular- no blood vessels – Regenerate easily when well nourished. http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/bookbind/pubbooks/ehapplace/chapter3/deluxe.html Apical Surface Basement Membrane

6. Classification of Epithelial Tissues Relative Number of Cell Layers – Simple (One cell layer) – Stratified (More than one cell layer) Description of Cell Shape – Squamous (Flat) – Cuboidal – Columnar

7. Simple Squamous Epithelium Found in the membranes for filtration or rapid diffusion – Air sacs in lungs – Walls of Capillaries – Serous Membranes (cover organs)

8. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Found in: – Glands and their ducts – Walls of kidney tubules – Outer surface of ovaries

9. Simple Columnar Epithelium Goblet Cells – Mucous membranes The entire length of the digestive tract

10. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Some cells are shorter than others – Nuclei appear at different levels – Ciliated tissue lines most of the respiratory tract.

11. Stratified Squamous Epithelium Most Common Areas subject to friction – Esophagus – Mouth – Epidermis

12. Stratified Cuboidal/Columnar Epithelium Very Rare in the Body – Ducts of large glands

13. Transitional Epithelium Able to stretch – Urinary bladder – Ureters – Part of urethra

14. Glandular Epithelium Glands consist of one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product Secretions are proteins in an aqueous solution produced by a gland. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Illu_adrenal_gland.jpg Adrenaline Cortisol

15. Glandular Tissue Endocrine Glands – Lose connection to surface (ductless) – Secretions diffuse directly into the blood – Produce hormones Thyroid Adrenals Pituitary http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/Illu_endocrine_system.jpg

16. Glandular Tissue Exocrine Glands – Secretions empty onto epithelial surface (ducts) – Sweat and oil glands – Liver and pancreas http://www.pg.com/science/skincare/Skin_tws_34/skin_34_02.jpg

17. Connective Tissues Found everywhere in the body. – The most abundant and widely distributed tissues Functions – Binds body tissues together – Supports the body – Provides protection

18. Characteristics of Connective Tissues Variations in blood supply – Some tissues are well vascularized – Some have a poor blood supply or are avascular Extracellular Matrix – The nonliving material that surrounds the cells – Two main elements Ground Substance Fibers

19. Extracellular Matrix Ground Substance – mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules Fibers – Produced by the cell – Three Types: Collagen fibers Elastic fibers Reticular fibers

20. Bone Osseous tissue Composed of: – Bone cells in lacunae – Hard matrix of calcium salts – Large number of collagen fibers Used to protect and support the body

21. Osseous Tissue

22. Hyaline Cartilage Most cartilage Composed of: – Abundant collagen fibers – Rubbery matrix The entire fetal skeleton is hyaline cartilage

23. Hyaline Cartilage

24. Elastic Cartilage Provides elasticity Example: – Supports the external ear http://dictionary.laborlawtalk.com/Earlobe_stretching

25. Fibrocartilage Highly compressable Example: – Forms cushion-like discs in between vertebrae

26. Fibrocartilage

27. Dense Connective Tissue Main matrix element is collagen fibers Cells are fibroblasts Examples: – Tendon- attach muscle to bone – Ligament- attach bone to bone

28. Dense Connective Tissue

29. Areolar Connective Tissue Most widely distributed connective tissue Soft, pliable tissue Contains all fiber types Can soak up excess fluid – Edema- when the tissue soaks up excess fluid, the area swells and becomes puffy

30. Areolar Tissue

31. Adipose Tissue Matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate Many cells contain large lipid deposits Functions: – Insulates the body – Protects some organs – Serves as a site of fluid storage

32. Adipose Tissue

33. Reticular Connective Tissue Delicate network of interwoven fibers Forms stroma (internal supporting network) of lymphoid organs – Lymph nodes – Spleen – Bone marrow

34. Reticular Tissue

35. Blood Blood cells surrounded by fluid matrix Fibers are visible during clotting Functions as transport vehicle for materials

36. Blood

37. Muscular Tissues The purpose of muscle tissues is to produce movement. Three types of muscle tissues – Skeletal – Cardiac – Smooth

38. Skeletal Muscle Can be controlled voluntarily Cells attach to connective tissue Cells are striated Cells have more than one nucleus

39. Skeletal Muscle

40. Cardiac Muscle Found only in the heart Function is to pump blood (involuntarily) Cells are attached together by intercalated disks – Gap junctions allow ions o pass freely from cell to cell Cells are striated and have only one nucleus

41. Cardiac Muscle

42. Smooth Muscle Also called visceral muscle Involuntary muscle Surrounds hollow organs Cells: – Are spindle-shaped – Have one nucleus – Has no visible striations

43. Smooth Muscle

44. Nervous Tissues Neurons and the nerve support cells Functions to send impulses to other parts of the body – Irritability – Conductivity Supporting cells- insulate, support and protect the delicate neurons

45. Nervous Tissue

47. Tissue Repair Regeneration – Replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells Fibrosis – Repair by dense connective tissue – Forms Scar Tissue The type of tissue repair depends on: – The type of tissue injured – The severity of the injury

48. The Events of Tissue Repair The capillaries become very permeable – Allows clotting proteins into the region – Walls off the injured area to prevent bacteria from spreading to other areas Granulation tissue forms – Pink tissue composed of capillaries Surface Epithelium regenerates

49. Tissue Repair  Tissues that regenerate easily  Epithelial tissue  Fibrous connective tissue and bone  Tissues that regenerate poorly  Skeletal muscle  Tissues that are replaced largely with scar tissue  Cardiac muscle  Nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord

50. Developmental Aspects of Tissues Life begins as a single cell – Cells undergo mitosis to product the multicellular body – Cells continue to divide through puberty Cells that are exposed to friction must replace lost cells Connective tissue continues to divide as it is involved in tissue repair Muscle tissue ends cell division by the end of puberty Nervous tissue is amiotic shortly after birth

51. Other terms associated with Cells and Tissues Neoplasm- an abnormal mass of proliferating cells – May be benign or cancerous Hyperplasia – Certain body tissues may enlarge because there is some local irritant or condition that stimulates the cells Atrophy – A decrease in size that occurs when an area loses its normal stimulation http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/projects/burgoine/cancer_cell_division.jpg
