    Study Notes

    Epithelial Tissue

    • The majority of the tubular renal epithelium is produced by mesodermal tissue.
    • The respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts are lined by epithelial tissue.
    • The posterior tongue, soft palate, and floor of the mouth are lined by stratified squamous epithelium.
    • The biliary tree and liver are lined by simple columnar epithelium.
    • The female and male urethra are lined by transitional epithelium.
    • Epithelium has apical-basal polarity.
    • Microvilli, cilia, and stereocilia are specialized structures found on the apical surface of an epithelium.
    • The basement membrane functions as a barrier and provides mechanical support.
    • The general function of epithelium in the body is to form the lining of cavities, glands, and organs, and to regulate the exchange of substances.

    Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue

    • Epithelial tissue is derived from the ectoderm and endoderm germ layers.
    • Epithelial tissue is characterized by the presence of a basement membrane.
    • Epithelial tissue is not capable of movement or generating force.

    Other Tissue Types

    • Connective tissue provides support, connects, and anchors structures in the body.
    • Nervous tissue initiates and transmits action potentials in the body.
    • Muscle tissue is responsible for movement and generating force and heat.
    • Glandular tissue is responsible for secretion of mucus, enzymes, and sweat.

    True or False

    • True: The epidermis and its appendages include the nails and hair.
    • True: The basal surface of an epithelium is attached to the underlying connective tissue.
    • True: The basement membrane contains laminin, integrins, collagen, and glycoproteins.
    • True: Epithelial tissue is responsible for the secretion of mucus, enzymes, and sweat.
    • False: The main function of glandular tissue is protection.
