TISSUES
2
Tissue: A Definition A group of connected, interdependent cells that cooperate to perform a specific function
3
Categories of Tissue 1. Epithelial Tissue 2. Connective Tissue 3. Muscle Tissue 4. Nervous Tissue
4
Epithelial Tissues General Features Cellular Layer + Basement Membrane
5
Epithelial Tissues General Features Cellular Layer + Basement Membrane No Direct Circulation/Blood Supply Touch Each Other Rapid Rate of Cell Reproduction

11
Epithelial Tissues Major Types
12
Simple Squamous Epithelium
14
Function: Exchange Sample Locations: Alveoli, capillaries
15
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
16
Function: Protection Sample Locations: Skin, Mouth, Repro tracts
17
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Function: Absorption or Secretion Sample Locations: Kidney, Hormone Glands
18
Simple Columnar Epithelium Function: Absorption (or Secretion) Sample Location: Digestive Tract Microvilli
19
Simple Columnar Note goblet cells
20
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Note cilia
21
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
22
Function: Absorption, Secretion, Movement Sample Locations: Respiratory & Repro Ducts
23
Transitional Epithelium Function: Stretchability Sample Location: Urinary Bladder
24
What kind of tissue is this?
25
Epithelium cont. Epithelium that lines cavities sits on lamina propria. –Supports epithelium –Binds epithelium to other tissue –Provides nutrition Sides of cells are named –Basal –Apical (free) –Lateral
26
Basal Lamina-Lamina Propria
27
Intercellular Junctions Belts that circle cell. ZO (tight junction) acts as barrier. ZA provides for adhesion of one cell to another Spots Des is like a spot welding. Gap allows passage of chemical for communication.
28
Gap Junction
29
Specializations of Cell Surface Microvilli –Found mainly on absorptive cells –Brush border, 1 high Cilia / flagella –Cylindrical, motile structures, 5-10 high –Contain microtubules –Basal bodies
30
Microvilli Apical region of an intestinal epithelial cell seen with TEM. Filaments that constitute the core of the microvilli are clearly seen. An extracellular cell coat (glycocalyx) is bound to the plasmalemma of the microvilli. x45,000.
