Tissues Chapter 5
2
Tissues Four types of tissues – Epithelial – Connective – Muscle – Nervous
3
Epithelial Tissue General Characteristics: Found throughout the body, covers all body surfaces both inside and out. Main glandular tissue. Attached to underlying connective tissue by noncellular nonliving basement membrane. Usually has no vascular tissue - no blood supply Cells reproduce rapidly (rapid healing). Cells tightly packed together
4
Epithelial Cells Epithelia Tissue is named based on its description Simple – Single Layer Stratified – Multiple Layers Squamous = flat Cuboidal = square/cube Columnar = column/rectangle
5
Simple Squamous Function: Diffusion and filtration Found in: walls of capillaries, air sacs in lungs
6
Simple Cuboidal Function: Secretion and absorption Found in: kidney tubules, ducts, and ovaries
7
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Provides more protection than single layer Found in the larger ducts of glands and developing tubules
8
Simple Columnar Function: Secretion and Absorption Found in: Digestive tract and uterus Contains goblet cells that secret mucus Can have cilia
9
Stratified Squamous Functions in protection Found in skin and mouth
10
Basement Membranes Thin under layers of tissues, just under the epithelium The ink of tattoos must be injected below the basement membrane
11
Layers Tissues often come in layers Cuts that are deep enough and go through underlying tissue beneath epithelium may need stitches
12
Pseudostratified Columnar Single layer Nuclei are uneven and gives it a layered appearance Can have goblet cells and cilia Found in air passage linings and tubes of reproductive system
13
Transitional Epithelium Stretchable Blocks diffusion (no leakage) Found in urinary bladder
14
Glandular Epithelium Cells are specialized to produce and secrete substances Make up glands – Exocrine (sweat glands) – Endocrine (hormones)
15
Identify the tissues
17
Connective Tissues General characteristics Most abundant tissue in your body, found throughout Binds structures together Provides support, protection, framework, fills space, stores fat, produces blood cells, fights infection, and helps repair tissue Cells are scattered with abundant matrix Fluid, semi-fluid, and fibers Good blood supply
18
Types of Connective Tissue Mast cells (prevent clots) Macrophages (consumers) Fibroblasts (produce fibers) – Collagenous (bones, ligaments, tendons) – Elastic (respiratory)
21
Main types of fibers Collagenous Fibers – strong and flexible – Bones, tendons, and ligaments Elastic Fibers – Very flexible – Ears and vocal cords
23
Loose Connective Tissue or Areolar Tissue Binds underlying organs to skin and to each other Forms delicate thin membranes throughout the body
24
Loose Fibrous Connective Tissue Has space between components Occurs beneath skin and most epithelial layers Functions in support and binds organs
25
Adipose Tissue (fat)
26
Fibrous Connective Tissue Tendons = muscles to bones Ligaments = bones to bones
27
Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue Has collagenous fibers closely packed In dermis of skin, tendons, and ligaments Functions in support
28
Dense Connective Tissue Cartilage – Cartilage Cells are called Chondrocytes – Provides support and attachments – Cushions bones
29
Hyaline Cartilage Covers ends of joints, nose and respiratory passages
30
Elastic Cartilage External Ear and Larynx
31
Fibrocartilage Tough, shock absorbing
32
Bone Tissue (Osseus)
33
Blood Tissue
34
Muscle Tissue
35
Cardiac Muscle
36
Skeletal Muscle
37
Smooth Muscle
38
Nervous Tissue Neurons Neuroglia - support
39
Nervous Tissue Spinal Cord
