4.Attaches at the basal surface - The surface TISSUES of the cells that is anchored in place is called the BASAL SURFACE. BASAL SURFACE- Is held in the place through attachment to a non-living material that is somewhat like mortar for brick. BASEMENT MEMBRANE-provides structural support as it helps cells to attach and anchor to the underlying tissues. 5. Has specialized cell connections and matrix attachments - Adjacent epithelial TISSUES - group of specialized cells and cells are attached to each other by extracellular substances surrounding them. specialized cell connections. CHANGES IN TISSUE MAY RESULT: 6. Is avascular - Blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue do not Development- progression of a tissue over penetrate the basement membrane time Nonvascular epithelial tissue, found in Growth-tissue increases its size. organs and body surfaces, depends on diffusion and other methods for material Aging- becoming more stiff.

APICAL SURFACE. FUNCTIONS OF EPITHELIA II. THREE (3) TYPES of EPITHELIUM 1. PROTECTS UNDERLYING BASED ON IDEALIZED SHAPES OF STRUCTURES THE EPITHELIAL CELLS 2. ACTING AS A BARRIER 3. PERMITTING THE PASSAGE OF 1. SQUAMOUS- cells are flat and SUBSTANCES scalelike. 4. SECRETING SUBSTANCE 5. ABSORBING SUBSTANCES CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIA I. MAJOR TYPES OF EPITHELIA ACCORDING TO NUMBER OF CELLS: 1. SIMPLE EPITHELIUM- Consist of a single layer of cells 2. CUBOIDAL - cells are cube-shaped about as wide as they are tall. 3. COLUMNAR - tall and thin. similar 2. STRATIFIED EPITHELIUM- Consist of to a column - cells tend to be taller than they more than one (1) layer of cells attached to are wide. the basement membrane. Epithelia are classified according to the number of layers and the shape of the cells. TYPES OF EPITHELIUM BASED ON IDEALIZED SHAPES OF THE 3.

Testes (in males): LYMPHATIC SYSTEM THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM – ALSO CALLED THE LYMPH OR IMMUNE SYSTEM -Protects the body from invasion by bacteria or other germs. The active part of the system is lymph fluid–It drains into networks of tiny capillaries in tissue spaces that unite to form larger vessels called lymphatics. HOW THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM PROTECTS THE BODY The lymphatic system includes several components; It's a network of vessels, ducts, and nodes, as well as organs and diffuse tissue; these structures work to filter unwanted substances out of the bloodstream and body tissues. White blood cells play a key role. Some rush to attack any harmful microbes that invade the body, other white blood cells become specialists, adapted to fight particular pathogens. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, defend the body against disease, they normally account for only 1% of circulating blood volume but increase during infection or inflammation. Lymph nodes (lymph glands) -filtering and storage areas of the system, and they are scattered along the routes of the lymphatics. Lymph is not pumped. Lymph fluid contains large numbers of specialized white blood cells, particularly lymphocytes, which protect the body against Neutrophils are the most common type, non-self material such as invading comprising 60% to 70% of all WBC. microorganisms. A Macrophage is a large phagocytic cell THE AUXILIARY IMMUNE SYSTEM found in stationary form in the tissues or as a mobile white blood cell, especially at sites Many organs have a role in protecting the of infection. body against invading microbes, together they can be termed the auxiliary immune system, since they supplement the true internal immune system. Blood vessels dilate around the injury site, inflaming the area. The vessel dilation allows more white blood cells to leave the bloodstream and enter the infected tissues. Phagocytes then do the job of consuming invading microbes. ∆This rapid response by the body to an infection is an example of innate immunity. Lymphocytes, the second most common type of white blood cells are produced in red bone marrow and move through the organs and tissues of the lymphatic system. They include several sub-types: B cells produce antibodies T cells target virus or fungal-infected cells, cancer cells, and transplanted cells. Natural killer (NK) cells attack and destroy Activated B cells multiply to produce large foreign microbes. numbers of clones, most of which become Phagocytes of humans and other animals are plasma cells. called "professional" or "non-professional" Plasma cells produce antibodies that depending on how effective they are at recognize antigens on foreign microbes. phagocytosis. The antibodies act as tags to identify the invaders. The professional phagocytes include many ∆This is called an antibody-mediated types of white blood cells (such as response. neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and dendritic cells). T cells, activated by antigens presented by phagocytes, multiply then seek out and destroy infected cells. The main difference between professional ∆This is called a cell-mediated and non-professional phagocytes is that the response. professional phagocytes have molecules called receptors on their surfaces that can LYMPH NODES detect harmful objects. The lymph nodes (or “glands”) are vital to The phagocyte binds to the microbe, the body’s defense system – they produce envelopes it, and then eats it. and hold immune cells (lymphocytes) that Enzymes within the phagocyte kill and protect the body from disease. digest the pathogen. When an infection occurs, fever elevates body temperature to accelerate the immune response. The reaction can happen relatively quickly. Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the EXOCYTOSIS STAGE body and also concentrated in groups. Harmless products of cell eating are Lymph fluid from most tissues or organs expelled through the white blood cell’s flows through one or more lymph nodes, membrane, or in tiny membrane-bound where it is filtered and cleaned, before exocytic vesicles to the extracellular fluid. draining into the venous blood stream. DEFENSIVE CELLS Various types of white blood cells (leucocytes) become involved in inflammation, including neutrophils and monocytes. The latter are immature leaving the blood vessels and enter the tissues, but rapidly develop into active cells called macrophages that replace neutrophils. A single macrophage (“big eater”) can consume up to 100 bacteria or similar-sized WHITE CELL TYPES items before dying. -There are numerous types of white blood cells, known by the general name of ALLERGIES - The immune system leukocytes. normally defends the body against infections, cancer, injuries, and damaging Monocyte - Largest cell in the blood, with substances such as toxic chemicals. big and rounded, or indented, nucleus engulfs pathogens. 1) Exposure to an allergen - Antibodies bind Lymphocyte - Chief immune cell, with a to the surfaces of mast cells. large nucleus that almost fills the cell; either A mast cell (also known as a mastocyte or a B or T, depending on development. labrocyte) is a migrant cell of connective Neutrophil - Granulocyte (having many tissue that contains many granules rich in small particles in the cytoplasm) with a histamine and heparin. multi-lobed nucleus; engulfs pathogens. 2) Antibodies triggered - Allergens come Basophil - Circulating granulocyte with into contact with the antibodies.
