2. TISSUES Tissues - cells working together to perform a common function Histology - Study of tissues

3. 4 BASIC TYPES Epithelial - covers & lines surfaces, forms glands Connective - connects tissues, provides support, stores energy reserves Muscle - Contracts for movement, generates heat Neural - Carries information from one part of body to another in the form of electrical impulses

4. Epithelial Tissue - layer of cells that forms a barrier Functions: –provides physical protection –controls permeability –provides sensations –produces secretions Characteristics: –consists mainly of cells –consists of single layer or multiple layers –always has a free surface exposed to the environment –avascular –mitotic rate can be very high

5. Intercellular Connections Tight Junction - formed by fusion of cell membranes Desmosome - thin proteoglycan layer between opposing cell membranes Gap Junction - binding of membrane proteins

6. Shapes: Squamous - flat Cuboidal - cubed Columnar - higher than wide CLASSIFICATION Subdivided according to shape & arrangement of cells in each type Arrangements: Simple - single layer of same shape Stratified - many layers of same shape Transitional - several layers of differing shapes http://trc.ucdavis.edu/biosci10v/bis10v/media/ch20/epithelial_structure.html

7. Bell work Questions Aug 20th 1.What are the four types of tissues? 2.Define tissue. 3.The study of tissues is call ______________. 4.How are Epithelial tissues named? 5.What are the 3 basic shapes of epithelial tissues? 6.What are the 3 basic arrangements of epithelial tissues

8. SIMPLE SQUAMOUS (most delicate) Locations –Alveoli in lungs –blood & lymphatic vessels Functions –Reduce friction –Diffusion of gases –Controls permeability

9. STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS (tough) Locations –Surface of skin –Lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, vagina Functions –Protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemicals

10. SIMPLE CUBOIDAL Locations - –glands, ducts, kidney tubules, thyroid gland Functions - –protection, secretion, and/or absorption

11. STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL (RARE) Locations - –lining of some ducts like sweat glands –Mammary glands Functions - –Protection, secretion, absorption

12. TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM (STRETCHY) Locations - –Urinary bladder, ureters Functions - –Permits expansion & recoil after stretching

13. SIMPLE COLUMNAR Locations- –Lining of stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, collecting ducts of kidneys Functions - –Protection, secretion, absorption

14. PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM Locations - –lining of nasal cavity, bronchi, trachea Functions - –protection, secretion –Nuclei are located at varying distances from surface

15. STRATIFIED COLUMNAR Relatively Rare Locations - –pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary ducts, urethra Functions - –Protection

17. Glandular epithelium Cells that make up glands are specialized to produce and secrete substances Types of secretions from cells –1. endocrine Glands that secrete their products into tissues or blood Ex: Pituitary and sex glands –2. exocrine a.Merocrine: release products by exocytosis Ex: salivary glands/ pancreas b.Apocrine: Lose small portions of glandular bodies during secretion ex: mammary glands: fat droplets/sweat glands a.Holocrine: entire cell disintegrates Ex: sebaceous glands of skin (fatty mixture called sebum)

18. Reflection How are epithelial tissues classified? How can you i.d. if a tissue is an epithelial?
