Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue: Structure and Functions
- Epidermis cells renew every 28 days; small intestine's mucosa cells renew every 4-6 days
- Basement membrane attaches epithelial cells to connective tissue and serves as a molecular filter and guide during cell differentiation and migration
- Basement membrane is not visible with routine staining but can be observed with special techniques and electron microscope
- Epithelial tissue is avascular, except for the stria vascularis of the organ of Corti
- Functions of epithelial tissue include protection, transcellular transport, secretion, absorption, and selective permeability
- Epithelial tissue is found in two forms: lining epithelium and glandular epithelium
- Lining epithelial tissue can be simple (one layer of cells) or stratified (multiple layers), and can be flat, cuboidal, or columnar
- Special types of epithelia include pseudostratified and transitional
- Simple squamous epithelium is found in the vascular system, kidney, pulmonary alveoli, and serous tunics of pleura and peritoneum
- Simple cuboidal epithelium lines excretory ducts of glands, renal tubules, choroid plexuses, and ciliary bodies
- Simple columnar epithelium covers organs involved in absorption (e.g., small and large intestine) or secretion (e.g., bulbourethral gland)
- Illustrations: simple squamous epithelium in Bowman's capsule, simple cuboidal epithelium in mucous gland excretory ducts, and simple columnar epithelium in the gallbladder
