1. PowerPoint ® Lecture Slide Presentation by Patty Bostwick-Taylor, Florence-Darlington Technical College Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings PART C 3 Cells and Body Tissues

2. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Body Tissues  Tissues  Groups of cells with similar structure and function  Four primary types  Epithelial tissue (epithelium)  Connective tissue  Muscle tissue  Nervous tissue

3. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings # 1 - Epithelial Tissues  Locations  Body coverings - skin  Body linings - organs  Glandular tissue - glands  Functions  Protection  Absorption  Filtration  Secretion

4. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Epithelium Characteristics  Cells fit closely together and often form sheets  The apical surface is the free surface of the tissue  The lower surface of the epithelium rests on a basement membrane  Avascular (no blood supply)  Regenerate easily if well nourished

5. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Classification of Epithelia  Number of cell layers  Simple—one layer  Stratified—more than one layer Figure 3.17a

6. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Classification of Epithelia  Shape of cells  Squamous  flattened  Cuboidal  cube-shaped  Columnar  column-like Figure 3.17b

7. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Simple Epithelia  Simple squamous  Single layer of flat cells  Usually forms membranes  Lines body cavities  Lines lungs and capillaries

9. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Simple Epithelia  Simple cuboidal  Single layer of cube-like cells  Common in glands and their ducts  Forms walls of kidney tubules  Covers the ovaries

11. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Simple Epithelia  Simple columnar  Single layer of tall cells  Often includes mucus-producing goblet cells  Lines digestive tract

13. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Simple Epithelia  Pseudostratified columnar  Single layer, but some cells are shorter than others  Often looks like a double layer of cells  Sometimes ciliated, such as in the respiratory tract  May function in absorption or secretion

15. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Stratified Epithelia  Stratified squamous  Cells at the surface are flattened  Cells at lower Layers are thicker  Found as a protective covering where friction is common  Locations  Skin  Mouth  Esophagus

17. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Glandular Epithelium  Gland  One or more cells responsible for secreting a particular product ie: hormones, oils or sweat.

18. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Glandular Epithelium  Two major gland types  Endocrine gland  Ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels  All secretions are hormones  Exocrine gland  Secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface  Include sweat and oil glands
