EPITHELIAL TISSUE (EPITHELIUM)
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium) Lining, covering and glandular tissue of the body Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium) Examples: Skin protects against bacteria/chemicals Lining of the respiratory tract-cilia to sweep mucus Kidney-epithelium absorbs and filters Secretion-glands
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium)
Simple Squamous Single layer of thin squamous cells Forms membranes for filtration/exchange Air sacs of lungs Walls of capillaries
Simple Squamous
Simple Cuboidal Single layer of cuboidal cells Glands/Ducts Salivary Glands Ducts in Pancreas Kidney tubules Surface of ovaries
Simple Cuboidal
Simple Columnar Single layer of columnar (tall) cells Line digestive tract Goblet cells: produce mucus
Simple Columnar
Pseudostratified (ciliated) columnar Some cells are shorter than others Absorption and secretion Ciliated variety lines the respiratory tract Goblet cells make mucus Cilia move mucus
Pseudostratified (ciliated) columnar
Stratified squamous Several layers of cells At the top squamous and close to basement membrane (bottom) are cuboidal or columnar Can stand friction: Esophagus Mouth skin
Stratified squamous
Transitional (stratified) Cells at base are cuboidal or columnar, free surface varies Tissue can stretch Lines the: Urinary bladder Ureters Part of urethra
Transitional (stratified)
Extracellular matrix Produced by connective tissue cells Secreted to exterior Ground substance, proteins and large polysaccharides Matrix fibers Gel like, to firm, to rock hard
Extracellular matrix
Types of Connective Tissue Bone Cartilage Dense Connective Tissue Loose Connective Tissue Blood
Connective Tissue - Presentation Research your assigned connective tissue Description and properties of the tissue Structure and functions Where in the body is this tissue found? (examples) You can write/draw on a blank slide on the board Presentation should be at least 2-5min
