The major tissues of the body
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
-
when do the major types of tissue in the body develop?
in the embryonic period
-
-
Two types of epithelial tissue:
-
Major functions of epithelial tissue:
- protection-skin
- sensory functions-skin, nose, eye, ear
- secretion-hormones,mucus,digestive juices
- absorption-exchange of gases between air +lungs
- excretion-lining of kidney tubes
-
4 classifications of membranous epithelial tissues:
- squamous
- cuboidal
- columnar
- pseudostratified columnar
-
simple epithelium
arrangement of epithelial cells in a single layer
-
stratified epithelium
epithelial cells layered one on another
-
basement membrane
the noncellular layer of adhesive, permeable material that connects the epithelial tissue to the underlying connective tissue.
-
simple squamous:
- one layer of flat, scalelike cells.
- func: absorption by diffusion
- ex. air sacs of lungs, surface layer of pluera, pericardium, and peritoneum
-
simple cuboidal epithelium:
- one layer of cuboidal cells resting on a BM
- func: sercretion and absorption
- ex. ducts and tubes of many organs
-
simple columnar epithelium
- single layer of cells many of which have modified structure(goblet cells, cilia, microvilli)
- func: protection, secretion, absorption, moving of mucus
- ex. surface layer of the mucous lining of the stomach, intestines and part of the resp. tract
-
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
- although appearing stratified, they have one layer of cells touching the BM
- func: protection
- ex. found lining air passages of resp sys., and the urethra in men
-
stratified squamous epithelium
- multiple layers of flattened squamous cells at the free or outer layer can be keratinized and nonkera
- func: protection
- ex. surface of the mucous lining of mouth, esophagus, vagina(non-keratinized)
- surface of skin(keratinized)
-
stratified cuboidal epithelium
- 2 or more rows of low cuboidal cells arranged randomly over a BM
- func: protection
- ex. ducts of sweat glands, lining of pharynx, covering of portion of epiglottis.
-
transitional epithelium
- a unique arrangement of differing cell shapes in a stratified or layered epithelial sheet
- func: permits stretching
- ex. lining of urinary bladder and ureters
-
-
microvilli
- fingerlike projections that increase the surface area and help absorb nutrients
- found in the intestines
-
extracellular matrix (ECM)
- the material between the cells.
- made up of proteins and proteoglycans
-
-
endocrine glands
- ductless glands, they discharge their secretion products(hormones) directly into blood or intestinal fluid.
- ex. pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands
-
exocrine glands
- discharge their secretion products into ducts
- ex. salivary glands
-
most widespread and abundant tissue?
connective tissue
-
tissue classification for blood?
connective tissue
-
cilia
hairlike projections of cells. found in the lining of the respiratory tract
-
function of connective tissue
connects, supports, transports and protects
-
4 main types of connective tissue:
- fibrous
- bone
- cartilage
- blood
-
major functions of adipose tissue?
protection, insulation, support, and food reserve
-
mesenchyme
connective tissue that arises during embryonic development from stem cell tissue
-
2 major types of membranes:
- epithelial(most common)-composed of epothelial tissue and an underlying layer of connective tissue
- connective tissue- composed exclusively of connective tissue no epithelial cells present
-
3 types epithelial membrane:
- cutaneous(skin)-covers body surfaces exposed to the external environment
- serous(parietal,visceral,pleura,peritoneum)-lines cavities that are not open to the external environemt. composed of two layers of tissue.
- mucous-epithelial membranes that line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior.
-
a type of connective tissue membrane:
synovial-line the spaces between bones and joints.
-
location of apocrine sweat glands:
mammary glands
-
the different classes of cartilage and most prevalent:
- hyaline- most prevalent
- fibrocartilage
- elastic
-
hyaline cartilage
- most prevalent type.
- found in support rings of resp. tubes and covering the ends of bones.
- low amounts of collagen
-
fibrocartilage tissue
- strongest and most durable type.
- located in intervertrebral disks.
- filled with a dense packing of collagen fibers
-
elastic cartilage
- contains few collagen fibers, but large number of fine elastic fibers that give it high degree of flexability.
- found in external ear, and larynx
-
major components of connective tissue and their functions:
- Extracellular matrix(ECM)-determine it's physical characterisitcs
- consist of fluid, gel or solid matrix with or without extracellular fibers(collagenous, reticular, and elastic)
- proteoglycans- thicken and hold together the tissue
