Study Notes
Functions and Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues
- Epithelial tissues serve functions like protection, absorption, secretion, sensation, and filtration.
- Characteristics include cellularity, polarity, attachment to the basement membrane, avascularity, and regenerative capacity.
- Classification of epithelial tissues is based on cell shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and the number of layers (simple or stratified).
Types of Epithelial Tissues
- Simple squamous epithelium lines body cavities and surfaces involved in gas or liquid passage.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in renal tubular cells, exocrine glands, biliary ducts, bronchioles, and thyroid follicles.
- Simple columnar epithelium is present in the stomach, gallbladder, and intestines.
- Stratified squamous epithelium is located in the skin and mucus membranes.
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium, usually two cell layers thick, lines large excretory ducts.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium appears stratified but is actually simple.
- Ciliated columnar epithelium lines the nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, bronchi, and trachea.
- Transitional epithelium lines portions of the urinary tract allowing volume change.
Functions Related to Epithelial Tissues
- The surface layer of mucus in the respiratory tract traps pathogens and facilitates their removal.
- The basement membrane provides support and acts as a selective barrier.
Glandular Epithelium
- Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into circulation.
- Serous secretion is watery and enzyme-rich.
- Exocrine glands with unbranched main ducts are classified as simple.
- Merocrine glands secrete via exocytosis.
- Goblet cells secrete mucin, which becomes mucus upon hydration.
- Myoepithelial cells assist in the expulsion of secretions from exocrine glands.
- Mixed secretion comprises both serous and mucous components.
Connective Tissues
- Reticular connective tissue provides a framework for certain organs.
- Adipose tissue is highly vascularized, serving as an energy source and thermal insulator.
- Dense regular connective tissue has parallel collagen fibers offering tensile strength.
- Dense irregular connective tissue features randomly arranged collagen fibers for multidirectional strength.
- Hyaline cartilage is the most rigid type, found in articular cartilage and trachea.
- Elastic cartilage is the most flexible, present in the epiglottis and pinnae.
- Fibrocartilage lacks a perichondrium and is found in intervertebral discs and knee joints.
- Bone contains osteoblasts, osteoclasts, collagen, and calcium salts.
- Blood is fluid connective tissue composed of cells, proteins, and plasma.
Membranes and Inflammation
- Serous membranes line body cavity walls and cover organ surfaces.
- The body’s initial response to tissue injury involves inflammation.
- Clinical signs of inflammation include redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
- Clot formation serves to halt bleeding and create a matrix for healing.
- Phagocytic cells remove debris and pathogens during inflammation.
- Granulation tissue formation is a term describing new connective tissue during healing.
- Granulation tissue promotes wound repair by providing a scaffold for new cells during healing.
- Epithelialization involves regenerating epithelial cells to cover a wound.
- The final stage of wound repair is scarring, which stabilizes the repaired skin.
- Wound repair classification is based on the nature and extent of injury.
- Scar tissue provides strength but lacks elasticity compared to normal tissue.
Additional Notes
- Amorphous, homogeneous material in connective tissue facilitates nutrient and waste exchange.
- Fixed cells include fibroblasts, adipocytes, and macrophages; transient cells include lymphocytes and neutrophils.
- Reticular fibers are produced by fibroblasts and assist in immune response.
- Synovial membranes produce transudate to reduce friction in joint cavities and bursae.
