Study Notes

Basement Membrane Structure

Composed of basal lamina and reticular lamina, connecting epithelial sheets to supportive connective tissue.
Basal lamina consists of adhesive glycoproteins and collagen fibers.
Reticular lamina features a network of collagen fibers, providing structural support.
Avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels; supplies nutrients via diffusion.
Plays a crucial role in resisting stretching and tearing, ensuring tissue integrity and support.

Types of Epithelia

Simple Squamous Epithelium:
- Single layer of flattened cells; functions in absorption and secretion.
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium:
- Cube-shaped cells involved in secretion and absorption of substances.
Simple Columnar Epithelium:
- Elongated cells that secrete mucus and enzymes; ciliated type propels mucus.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium:
- Limited distribution found in pharynx, male urethra, and some glandular ducts; only the apical layer is columnar.
Transitional Epithelium:
- Composed of dome-shaped or flat surface cells; permits stretching and distension in urinary organs like the bladder.

Connective Tissue Functions

Chondrocytes reside in lacunae, supporting and reinforcing structures while allowing flexibility.
Matrix of cartilage is crucial for cushioning properties and resistance to compressive stress.
Types of cartilage found in various locations:
- Embryonic skeleton, ends of long bones, rib costal cartilages, nasal cartilages, and the ear.

Healing and Regeneration

Regeneration in epithelium involves granulation tissue formation, restoring blood supply.
Clotting leads to surface drying and scab formation; fibroblasts produce collagen fibers for tissue bridging.
Macrophages phagocytize debris, facilitating tissue maturation and surface epithelial regeneration.
Final repair results in a regenerated epithelium accompanied by a scar tissue, indicating the healing process.
