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.
