1 EPITHELIAL TISSUE (EPITHELIUM)

2 Epithelial tissue (Epithelium)  Lining, covering and glandular tissue of the body

3 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

10  Forms membranes for filtration/exchange

11

12  Glands/Ducts  Salivary Glands  Ducts in Pancreas  Kidney tubules  Surface of ovaries

13

14  Line digestive tract  Goblet cells: produce mucus

15

16  Some cells are shorter than others  Absorption and secretion  Ciliated variety lines the respiratory tract Goblet cells make mucus Cilia move mucus

17 Pseudostratified (ciliated) columnar

18  Several layers of cells  Can stand friction: Esophagus Mouth skin

19

20  Cells at base are cuboidal or columnar, free surface varies  Tissue can stretch  Lines the: Urinary bladder Ureters Part of urethra

21

22 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

23 Extracellular matrix

25 Types of Connective Tissue  Bone  Cartilage  Dense Connective Tissue  Loose Connective Tissue  Blood
