Study Notes
Tissue IV – Epithelial
- Epithelial tissue protects, secretes, absorbs, and excretes.
- It covers body surfaces both inside and out, and forms glands.
- Epithelial tissue does not contain blood vessels but is able to reproduce readily.
- Epithelial cells are tightly packed together, defining the boundaries of body compartments.
Epithelial Membranes
- Epithelial membranes are formed by epithelial cells.
- They define boundaries between body compartments.
- Epithelial membranes can be stratified or monolayers.
- The apical surface of the membrane faces the outside or internal open space.
- The basolateral surface of the membrane is linked to connective tissue via the basement membrane.
- Epithelial cells are held together by tight junctions.
- There are two types of epithelial membranes: keratinized (dead/dry) and non-keratinized (alive/moist).
- Keratinized membranes are found in the outer layer of the skin, while non-keratinized membranes are found inside the mouth and lungs.
- Epithelial membranes are essential for maintaining the integrity of body compartments.
Epithelial Glands
- Epithelial tissue also forms glands, which secrete into or out of the body.
- There are two types of glands: endocrine and exocrine.
- Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
- Examples of endocrine glands include the pancreas (insulin), testes/ovaries (testosterone/estrogen).
- Exocrine glands secrete substances via ducts.
- Examples of exocrine glands include the pancreas (digestive enzymes), sweat glands, tear glands, salivary glands, and gastric glands.
- The classification of exocrine glands is based on their secretion location, such as tear glands, sweat glands, and salivary glands being classified as "outside" because their secretions are released onto body surfaces.
Inside versus Outside
- The "inside" of the body refers to the blood or lymph system.
- The "outside" of the body refers to the skin, lungs, kidney tubules, or digestive tract.
Body Water
- The human body is approximately 55-60% water by mass.
- Total body water in a 70 kg human is around 42 liters.
- The majority of water is located within cells, referred to as intracellular fluid (ICF).
- ICF comprises approximately 67% of total body water.
- Extracellular fluid (ECF) surrounds cells and makes up about 33% of total body water.
- ECF consists of plasma (liquid component of blood) and interstitial fluid (solution bathing cells).
- Even though ICF and ECF have different solute concentrations, their osmolarity is equal, preventing net water movement.
Water Balance
- The human body experiences daily water loss through urine (1.5 L), lungs (0.3 L), skin/sweat (0.6 L), and feces (0.1 L), totaling approximately 2.5 L per day.
- To avoid dehydration, water intake must match water loss.
- Exercise, external temperature, caffeine/alcohol/salt intake, and disease can significantly impact the rate of water loss.
- Water intake occurs via drinking and absorption in the gut, as well as reabsorption in the kidneys.
- Water loss occurs through secretion and evaporation from the lungs and skin, secretion in the gut, and filtration/secretion/lack of reabsorption in the kidneys.
Water Transport
- Water can cross epithelial barriers but cannot penetrate a lipid bilayer directly.
- Water transport occurs through two mechanisms: filtration and transport proteins.
- Filtration in the kidneys involves the passage of plasma through gaps between cells in the glomerulus.
- Reabsorption/secretion in other epithelial cells involves the use of transport proteins to form pores in the cell membrane.
- These mechanisms ensure that water can move across epithelial barriers to maintain proper bodily functions.
