Chapter 4-Tissues What is a tissue? group of cells with similar structure and function plus extracellular substance (matrix) Histology: study of tissues 2
Types of Tissues 1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscular 4. Nervous 3
Epithelial Tissues Location: - cover body (internal and external) - Ex. Skin, kidney, trachea, glands, etc. 4
Characteristics: - cells close together (very little extracellular matrix) - form most glands - have free surface - Basal surface: attaches epithelial cells to underlying tissues 5
Functions of Epithelial Tissues 1. Protect: Ex. Skin 2. Act as a barrier: Ex. Skin keeps bacteria out 3. Diffusion and Filtration: Ex. Lungs and kidneys 4. Secretion: Ex. Sweat glands 5. Absorption: Ex. Small intestine 7
Classification of Epithelial Tissue Classified according to number of cell layers and cell shape Simple and stratified = number of cell layers Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional= cell shape 8

What are they? Glands structures that secrete substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into blood Exocrine glands: - glands with ducts - Ex. Sweat or oil glands Endocrine glands: no ducts (directly into bloodstream) Ex. Thyroid, thymus, pituitary glands, etc. 25
Secretion in duct Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Pinched-off portion of cell in the secretion Dying cell releases secretory products Vesicle releasing contents into duct Vesicle containing secretory products Secretory products stored in the cell Replacement cell Cell shed into the duct (a) Merocrine gland Cells of the gland produce secretions by active transport or produce vesicles that contain secretory products, and the vesicles empty their contents into the duct through exocytosis. (b) Apocrine gland Secretory products are stored in the cell near the lumen of the duct. A portion of the cell near the lumen containing secretory products is pinched off the cell and joins secretions produced by a merocine process. (c) Holocrine gland Secretory products are stored in the cells of the gland. Entire cells are shed by the gland and become part of the secretion. The lost cells are replaced by other cells deeper in the gland. 26
Types of Exocrine Glands Simple: no branches Compound: many branches Tubular: end of duct Alveolus: sac-like structure 27
Connective Tissues Characteristics Cells far apart Contain large amounts of extracellular matrix Classified based on type of extracellular matrix and function Ex. Blast cells build, clast cells carve Extracellular matrix contains 3 components (in varying amounts): protein fibers, ground substance, fluid Ground substance: proteins and sugars 29

What is it? Tissue Repair substitution of dead cells for viable cells Regeneration: cells of same type develop (no scar) Replacement: cells of a different type develop (scar) 56
Inflammation Occurs when tissues are damaged Signals the body s defenses (white blood cells) to destroy foreign materials and damaged cells so repair can occur. Chemical mediators: - released after injury - cause dilation of blood vessels 57
Symptoms of Inflammation 1. Redness: blood vessels dilate 2. Heat: due to increased blood flow 3. Swelling: from water and proteins 4. Pain: nerve endings are stimulated by damage and swelling 58
Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Splinter Bacteria introduced 1 A splinter in the skin causes damage and introduces bacteria. Chemical mediators of inflammation are released or activated in injured tissues and adjacent blood vessels. Some blood vessels rupture, causing bleeding. 1 Epidermis 2 Chemical mediators cause capillaries to dilate and the skin to become red. Chemical mediators also increase capillary permeability, and fluid leaves the capillaries, producing swelling (arrows). 2 Dermis Blood vessel Bacteria proliferating 3 White blood cells (e.g., neutrophils) leave the dilated blood vessels and move to the site of bacterial infection, where they begin to phagocytize bacteria and other debris. 3 Neutrophil phagocytizing bacteria Neutrophil migrating through blood vessel wall
