Tissues
• The study of tissues is known as Histology.
• Histologists describe cells by their appearance:
• The size and shape of the cells
• How the cells are arranged in tissues (layers, scatterd, etc.)
• How the cells are connected to each other
• The amount of extracellular (EC) material in the tissue
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tissues
• Groups of cells similar in structure and function
• Types of tissues- 4 types in the human body
• Epithelial tissue
• Connective tissue
• Muscle tissue
• Nerve tissue

Nervous tissue: Internal communication• Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Muscle tissue: Contracts to cause movement• Muscles attached to bones (skeletal)• Muscles of heart (cardiac)• Muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth)
Epithelial tissue: Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters• Skin surface (epidermis)• Lining of GI tract organs and other hollow organs
Connective tissue: Supports, protects, bindsother tissues together• Bones• Tendons• Fat and other soft padding tissue

Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium)
• Epi (upon) thele (nipple)
• Protect and separate the internal and external environment of the organism
• Regulate exchange of materials between the internal and external environment
• What type of materials?

Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium)
• Epi (upon) thele (nipple)
• Protect and separate the internal and external environment of the organism
• Regulate exchange of materials between the internal and external environment
• What type of materials?
• Any substance that enters or exits the body must cross an epithelium
• Significance- (disease, nutrition, homeostasis?)
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium)
• Two main types (by location):
1. Sheets of tissue covering and lining epithelia
• On external and internal surfaces and the lumen of hollow organs
2. Glandular (secretory) epithelia
• Secretory tissue in glands
• Synthesize and release substances into the EC space
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
1. Cells have polarity—apical (upper, free) and basal (lower, attached) surfaces
• Apical surfaces may bear microvilli (e.g., brush border of intestinal lining) or cilia (e.g., lining of trachea)
• Noncellular basal lamina (or basement membrane) made of glycoprotein and collagen lies adjacent to basal surface
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
2. Are composed of closely packed cells
• Continuous sheets held together by tight junctions and desmosomes
3. Supported by a connective tissue reticular lamina (under the basal lamina)
4. Avascular but innervated (what does this mean?)
5. High rate of regeneration (why?)

Classification of Epithelia
• When classifying Epithelia, you need to ask two questions:
1. How many layers?
2. What type of cell?

Overview of Epithelial Tissues
• Additionally, there are 5 functional types of Epithelia:
• Exchange
• Transporting
• Ciliated
• Protective
• Secretory
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Exchange Epithelial Tissues
• Exchange Epithelia
• Composed of simple, squamous layer that allows gases to pass rapidly across the epithelium (what gases do you think?)
• Found in the lungs, heart, blood vessels,
• The lining of heart and blood vessels is also called the Endothelium
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Transporting Epithelial Tissues
• Transporting Epithelia
• Composed of simple, cuboidal or columnar layer
• Selectively and actively regulates the exchange of ions and nutrients between internal and external environments- shaped by needs and hormones
• Found in the kidneys and digestive system
• The lumen of each is exposed to the external environment
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Transporting Epithelial Tissues
• Transporting Epithelia Characteristics:
• Cell Shape- thicker than exchange epithelia, though still one cell thick- columnar and cuboidal
• Membrane Modifications- large surface area on apical side (what structures?)
• Cell Junctions- Adjacent cells are tightly attached to each other (why?) –Materials must go through cells, rather than around
• Organelles- most need numerous mitochondria for energy requirements (why?)
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ciliated Epithelial Tissues
• Ciliated Epithelia
• Composed of simple, cuboidal or columnar layer
• Apical side contains cilia to move fluid across cell and tissue surface
• Found in the respiratory system and parts of female reproductive system
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Protective Epithelial Tissues
• Protective Epithelia
• Composed of stratified layers- squamous in top layers, thicker in bottom layers
• Toughened by protein keratin (same protein found in hair and nails)
• Found in the epidermis (system?), and linings of mouth, pharynx (location?), esophagus, urethra, and vagina
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Protective Epithelial Tissues
• Protective Epithelia
• Cells have short life span and are replaced by newer cells from deeper layers
• Why? Functionally, is this important?
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Secretory Epithelial Tissues
• Secretory Epithelia
• Secrete a substance outside the cell
• Scattered throughout epithelia, or grouped to form glands
• Two main types:
• Exocrine
• Endocrine
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Secretory Epithelial Tissues
• Secretory Epithelia
• Exocrine:
• Release secretions to external environment through ducts
• Skin surface, lumen, etc.
• Can be harmful to life- stomach acid, digestive enzymes,
• Or beneficial- breast milk
• Sweat, salivary, and mammary glands, liver, pancreas, goblet cells
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Secretory Epithelial Tissues
• Secretory Epithelia
• Endocrine:
• Ductless glands
• Release secretions (hormones) to internal environment through blood and lymph
• Which type of glandular tissue is more common, Exocrine or Endocrine?

Overview of Epithelial Tissues
• For each of the following types of epithelia, note:
• Description
• Function
• Location

(c) Simple columnar epithelium
Description: Single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei; some cells bear cilia; layer may contain mucus-secreting unicellular glands (goblet cells).
Function: Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action.
Location: Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal),gallbladder, and excretory ducts of someglands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regionsof the uterus.

(e) Stratified squamous epithelium
Description: Thick membranecomposed of several cell layers;basal cells are cuboidal or columnarand metabolically active; surfacecells are flattened (squamous); in thekeratinized type, the surface cells arefull of keratin and dead; basal cellsare active in mitosis and produce thecells of the more superficial layers.

Glandular (Secretory) Epithelia
• A gland is one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid
• Classified by:
• Site of product release—endocrine or exocrine
• Relative number of cells forming the gland—unicellular (e.g., goblet cells) or multicellular
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Unicellular Exocrine Glands
• The only important unicellular gland is the goblet cell
• Cell that produces and secretes mucous

Modes of Secretion
• Merocrine
• Products are secreted by exocytosis (e.g., pancreas, sweat and salivary glands)
• Holocrine
• Products are secreted by rupture of gland cells (e.g., sebaceous glands)
• Apocrine
• Products are secreted by a partial rupture of the apical cell surface (active in armpits, groin areas after puberty

Review Questions
• It is observed that the smoke from cigarettes and other tobacco products can paralyze cilia. From this observation, what tissue(s) will be most affected by the smoke, and what consequences could this have?
•What characteristics might you find on or in cells whose main function is absorption?
•What are Goblet cells and in what type of tissue will you most likely find them? Where is this tissue most common in the human body?
