Tissue Level Of Organization
4.1
The 4 Tissue Types
Epithal
cover exposed surfaces, lines internal passage ways and chambers produces grandular secretions
muscle
contracts to produce active movement
smooth muscle
visceral
hollow organs
cardiac muscle
control heart and all heart muscles
skeletal muscle
biceps
triceps
etc.
neural
conducts electrical impulses & Carries Information
cell body
dendrons
electrons
neuroglia cells
connective
dense irregular
dense regular
reticular
bisecting or X's
Adipose
Areolar
marshmellow
Fill internal spaces, provides structural support and supports energy
4.2
Epithelial
Functions of Epithelial
Physical Protection
control permeability
provide sensation exocrine
in bed onto surface of epithelium digestive tract sweat and milk
released into fluid or blood
Intercellular Connections
firmly attached to the basement membrane
if connections are damaged or broken then they become defective
hooked together by specialized transmembrane called cell adhesion molecules
The Epithelial Surface
apicial surface
many epithelia that line internal passageways have microvilli on there exposed surfaces.
The basement membrane
lies between the epithelium and underlying connective tissues
must not only adhere to one another but remain firmly connected as well
Epithelial renewal and repair
must continually make divide unspecialized cells known as stem cells or germative cells
4.3
Cell shape and number of layers determine the classification of epithelia
Layering
Simple
Simple-Consists of using one singular layer
Simple Epithelium
Thin, protects the basement membrane, fragile and cannot provide as much mechanical protection
Stratified
Uses multiple layers and usually provides greater protection
Greater protection for the basement membrane found in areas subject to mechanical or chemical stresses
Cell shapes
Squamous
Squamous Epithelium
Cells are thin and flat, Nucleus occupies the thickest portion of the cell
Cuboidal
Cuboidal epithelium
Little hexagon boxes when seen in three dimensions
nuclei lie under each cell and form a neat row
Columnar
Columnar epithelium
Hexagonal but but taller and more slender resembling rectangles.
nuclei are crowded close to basement membrane, height of epithelium is several times the distance between nuclei
