Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue (epithelium):Covers all surfaces of the bodyEpidermis (ectoderm): Outer portion of skinEndoderm:Lining of inner surfaces of digestive tract Mesoderm:Inner surface of body cavities
Epithelial tissue
Closely packedTight junctionsOne/or few cell layers thickSelective absorption in the intestinesRapid gas exchange in lungsProtection from microbes, water loss
Epithelial tissue
Regenerative capabilitiesLiver (gland from epithelial tissues)Epidermis every 2 weeksStomach lining every 2-3 days
Epithelial tissue
TypesBased on cell thicknessShape on exposed surfaceSimpleOne layer thickStratifiedMultiple layers of cells
Epithelial tissue
Shapes of cells Cuboidal:As wide as they are tall (like dice) Columnar:Taller than wide (like bricks on end) Squamous Flat like floor tiles
Epithelial tissue
Simple squamous Lining of lungs, capillary walls and blood vesselsSimple cuboidal Lining of some glandsSimple columnar Lining of stomach, intestines and parts of respiratory tract
Epithelial tissue
Exocrine glands (duct system)Duct:Connection from gland to tissueSecrete/absorb chemical solutionsSweat & sebaceous glandsLining of intestines & lungs that secrete mucous
Connective tissue
Holds tissues & organs togetherSupports, insulates and strengthens Derived from mesodermLoosely packed cellsScattered in an extracellular matrix
Connective tissue
Matrix: Composed of a web of fibers In a foundation of liquid, jellylike or solidFibers (proteins) are collagen, elastic, or reticular
Connective tissue
Collagen:Non-elastic-doesn’t tear easilyElastic:Makes tissue elasticElastin (protein)Reticular:Thin, branched, joins connective tissue to adjacent tissues
Connective tissue
Cells in matrixFibroblasts: Produce & secrete extracellular matrixMacrophages:Engulf foreign bodies & debrisMast cells & heparin
Connective tissue types
1. Loose connective tissueBeneath skin & between organsSupport, insulation, food storageAdipose tissue (fat)Cells become larger when gain weightShrink with weight loss
Connective tissue
2. Dense connective tissueTendons, ligaments, sheath around organs (periosteum), dermis of skinSupport, strong connections3. Special connective tissueCartilage, bone, blood,
Special connective tissue
Cartilage Consists of chondroitin (glycoprotein) & collagenStrong, flexible tissue, absorb stressJoints, ear pinna, nose, intervertebral discs, larynxChondrocytes: Cartilage cells
Bone
Embryos---more cartilageCartilage is replaced with bone cells or osteocytesMatrix hardens with crystals of calcium phosphate mixed with collagen
Bone
Osteoblasts: Lay down new boneOsteoclasts: Dissolve boneOsteons: Unit of bone structureContains calcified matrix, osteocytes, nerve fibers, blood vessels
Bone
Flat bonesLong bonesSpongy bone: Contains marrowBlood cells formedCompact bone:More dense, gives strength
Blood
Plasma (matrix)CellsRBC (erythrocytes)Contain hemoglobin (carries oxygen)WBC (leukocytes)Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytesPlatelets (thrombocytes)
Blood
Plasma containsWastes, nourishmentHormonesNa+, Ca2+, other ionsFibrinogen, albumin, antibodies
