Epithelium
Lines, covers, and protects other tissues and organs. Characterized by:
Cells tightly junked together The presence of a cell secretion called the basement membrane.
Named by:
Cell shape Other characteristics of the cells.
Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar

Functions
Protection - keratin on the skin, ciliated epithelium on respiratory tract
Absorption - intestines, squamous epithelium on the lungs Secretion - glandular epithelium, endocrine and exocrine

Categories of Tissues
Sensation - sensory nerves on the surface of organs Excretion - kidneys, sweat glands

Structural Division
Simple epithelium one cell layer thick Stratified epithelium two or more cell
layers thick
Pseudostratified epithelium one layer
thick with cells that look like striated but all are connected towards the basal lamina
Basement membrane basal lamina/ thin sheet of connective tissue under the epithelial cells

Squamous Epithelium
Cells very thin, much wider than they are thick.

Columnar Epithelium
Elongated cells, much longer than they are wide.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
A single layer of cells that line the digestive tract, gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands. Has microvilli at surface for absorption.

Categories of Tissues
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Lines the bronchi, trachea, uterine tubes and some of the uterus. Propels mucus or reproductive cells by ciliary action.

Connective Tissue
Characterized by the cells widely separated from each other in a matrix that is produced by the cells. Tissue protects and supports. Cell Matrix composed of two regions
Ground
Liquid (sol), Gel, Gum or solid
Fibers
Non-elastic (= white or Collagen) Elastic (= yellow fibers)

Types of Connective Tissue
Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue Dense Connective Tissue Adipose Cartilage Bone Blood

Categories of Tissues
Loose Connective Tissue (Areolar)
Gel like ground with both elastic and non-elastic fibers running though the ground in many directions.
Wraps and cushions organs Under the skin
Jenna Hellack Jan 2001
Categories of Tissues
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Nuclei and fibers arranged in parallel rows.
Tendons and ligaments Fibers mostly non-elastic
Jenna Hellack Jan 2001
Categories of Tissues
Adipose (Fat)
Function as storage cells for adipose (lipids) Adipose cells contain a large vacuole which in the live cell contains lipids. Cell nucleus and cytoplasm are pushed out to edge of cell membrane.

Cartilage
Ground of matrix is gum like. Cells are found in Lacunae within the matrix. Fibers may be elastic or non-elastic, or a form of non-elastic called reticular(where the non-elastic fibers of very thin)
Hyaline Cartilage-example on the ends of bones Elastic Cartilage- example ear cartilage Non-elastic Cartilage- example nose cartilage.

Bone
Categories of Tissues
Ground of matrix is Solid (Calcium carbonate + tricalcium phosphate). Has blood supply and nerves running through the Haversian canal systems.

Categories of Tissues
Bone
living tissue parts of the bone: Lamella thin layer where mineral substances are deposited Periosteum outermost covering to which muscles and tendons are attached Haversian system space/network where blood vessels and nerves pass

Vascular Tissue (Blood)
Consists of blood plasma, and cell elements, blood corpuscles
does not contain fibre elements . has a bright red or scarlet colour when it flows from the arteries but a dark red or purple colour when it flows from the veins. It is slightly alkaline (pH 7.4).
Jenna Hellack Jan 2001
Categories of Tissues
Liquid matrix = plasma 90% water 10%Plasma proteins, electrolytes, hormones, oxygen, glucose etc. Formed elements Erythrocytes -48billion(female) to 54 billion (male) cell / ml of blood in humans. Mammals are enucleated while rest of the vertebrates they have nuclei Leukocytes -about 7.5 million / ml of blood Platelets -blood clotting

Nervous Tissue
Cells specialized to polarize and depolarize. Cell is a neuron Receives and transmits stimuli in the form of nerve impulses to various effectors
Dendrite carry impulses towards the neuron Axon carry impulses away from the neuron towards other neurons
