Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that forms the lining of organs, glands, and other body surfaces.
- It is composed of cells that are tightly packed and held together by a basement membrane.
- Epithelial tissue has several functions, including:
- Protection: forming a barrier against external damage or invasion.
- Absorption: facilitating the exchange of substances between the body and the environment.
- Secretion: producing and releasing substances, such as hormones or enzymes.
- Excretion: removing waste products from the body.
Classification of Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue can be classified into two main categories: simple and stratified.
- Simple epithelial tissue is composed of a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelial tissue is composed of multiple layers of cells.
- Simple epithelial tissue can be further classified into several types, including:
- Squamous: flat, scale-like cells.
- Cuboidal: cube-shaped cells.
- Columnar: column-shaped cells.
- Stratified epithelial tissue can be further classified into several types, including:
- Stratified squamous: multiple layers of flat, scale-like cells.
- Stratified cuboidal: multiple layers of cube-shaped cells.
- Stratified columnar: multiple layers of column-shaped cells.
Mesothelial Cells
- Mesothelial cells are a type of epithelial cell that lines the body cavities and internal organs.
- They produce a lubricating fluid that allows organs to move smoothly against each other.
Peritoneal Ligaments
- Peritoneal ligaments are fibrous connective tissue bands that attach the abdominal organs to the abdominal wall.
- Examples of peritoneal ligaments include:
- Falkiform ligament: attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall.
- Hepatogastric ligament: attaches the stomach to the liver.
- Hepatorenal ligament: attaches the liver to the right kidney.
- Splenorenal ligament: attaches the spleen to the left kidney.
Pharynx
- The pharynx is a muscular tube that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the esophagus.
- It has three main parts: the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
- The pharynx plays a dual role in both respiration and digestion.
- The lining of the pharynx is composed of stratified squamous epithelial tissue, with numerous mucous glands and lymphoid tissues.
