2 TISSUES TYPES Group of cells closely associated in: a) structure (similar) b) function (common or related) HISTOLOGY = the study of tissues In general, FOUR (4) MAJOR TYPES: 1. EPITHELIAL (this week's topic) 2. CONNECTIVE (supportive) 3. MUSCLE (movement) 4. NERVOUS (control)

EPITHELIA 4 LOCATIONS: COVERING or LINING EPITHELIUM ofa) FREE SURFACES (i.e. SKIN) b) LINING of OPEN CAVITIES (i.e. DIGESTIVE, RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS) c) LINING of CLOSED CAVITIES (i.e. VENTRAL BODY CAVITY) d) LINING of BLOOD VESSELS and HEART May also serve as a GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM To be discussed
EPITHELIA 5 MANY FUNCTIONS PROTECTION ABSORPTION FILTRATION SECRETION Bacterial Infections, Injury etc Example: lining of digestive tract Example: Renal (renal = kidney) Example: glandular epithelium or any COMBINATION of the above.
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 6 TIGHTLY PACKED: Little extracellular space EXISTS as SHEETS: Cells attached by tight junction points and desmosomes (binding bodies). OPEN SPACE TIGHT JUNCTION impermeable Surface view of simple squamous epithelium stripped from underlying connective tissue in the peritoneal cavity. CELL 1 CELL 2 DESMOSOME anchoring junction
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 7 POLARITY APICAL surface: often contain MICROVILLI: highly folded EXTENSIONS of the PLASMA MEMBRANE MICROVILLI from SMALL INTESTINAL EPITHELIUM Increases ABSORBTION area Note: brush border = many microvilli BRUSH BORDER N N N TEM: 3 Cells shown ^
8 CORE 9 + 2 Microtubule doublets CILIA BASAL BODY (centriole) 9 Microtubule triplets FLAGELLA: simply longer projections from BASAL BODY; cell propels itself (cilia move substances over a surface)
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 9 POLARITY BASAL surface: bottom - most layer of epithelial tissue is always attached to a BASEMENT MEMBRANE. EPITHELIUM Acts as a barrier between the EPITHELIUM and the underlying CONNECTIVE TISSUE. BASEMENT MEMBRANE
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 10 POLARITY BASAL surface: The BASEMENT MEMBRANE is composed of two layers. BASAL LAMINA Closest to the epithelium Actually secreted by the epithelium. - thin, non - cellular adhesive layer - selective filter of materials from blood - template for wound repair RETICULAR LAMINA Below the BASAL LAMINA Extracellular network of collagen fibers BASAL LAMINA + RETICULAR LAMINA = BASEMENT MEMBRANE
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 11 SEM: BASEMENT MEMBRANE EPITHELIAL CELLS BM collagen fibers BASAL LAMINA RETICULAR LAMINA
EPITHELIAL FEATURES 12 AVASCULARITY REGENERATION - No blood vessels - Nutrients etc. via DIFFUSION (upward) - IS innervated - High MITOTIC INDEX (turnover) END of PART 01: Brief Introduction NEXT: Part 02: Survey of Types
EPITHELIA: SURVEY of TYPES CLASSIFICATION of EPITHELIA cells 13 Number of Layers SIMPLE epithelium: one layer of cells STRATIFIED epithelium: multiple layers of cells BM BM STRATIFIED EPITHELIUM: layers may have DIFFERENT SHAPES but nomenclature based upon the CELL SHAPE of the free (APICAL) surface. SHAPE of cells SQUAMOUS flattened CUBOIDAL height = width COLUMNAR height > width
EPITHELIA: SURVEY of TYPES CLASSIFICATION of EPITHELIA SIMPLE epithelium: Little protection; other functions 14 TYPES SIMPLE SQUAMOUS SIMPLE CUBOIDAL SIMPLE COLUMNAR PSEUDOSTRATIFIED PSEUDO = FALSE OR FAKE In other words, ALL of the shapes May exist in the one cell layer arrangement! Looks stratified but really NOT! ONE LAYER of cells but different heights
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED PSEUDO = FALSE or FAKE EPITHELIA: SURVEY of TYPES CLASSIFICATION of EPITHELIA SIMPLE epithelium: Little protection; other functions TYPES Types SIMPLE SQUAMOUS SIMPLE CUBOIDAL SIMPLE COLUMNAR PSEUDOSTRATIFIED PSEUDO = FALSE or FAKE 15 SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM SINGLE LAYER FLATTENED usually quite permeable LUNGS: DIFFUSION KIDNEY: FILTRATION In certain locations- special names: ENDOTHELIUM: LINING of BLOOD VESSELS/CAPILLARIES MESOTHELIUM: SEROSAL MEMBRANES
