Epithelial tissue (epithelium) Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue 3 Epithelial Tissue • Locations: • Body coverings • Body linings • Glandular tissue • Functions: • • • • Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion 4 Epithelial Tissue • Hallmarks of epithelial tissues: • Cover and line body surfaces • Often form sheets with one free surface, the apical surface, and an anchored surface, the basement membrane • Avascular (no blood supply) • Regenerate easily if well nourished • Classification of epithelia • Number of cell layers • Simple—one layer • Stratified—more than one layer • Shape of cells • Squamous—flattened, like fish scales • Cuboidal—cube-shaped, like dice • Columnar—shaped like columns 5 Classification and functions of epithelia. Basal surface Apical surface Simple Apical surface Basal surface Stratified © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. (a) Classification based on number of cell layers Classification and functions of epithelia. © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. Epithelial Tissue • Simple epithelia • Functions in absorption, secretion, and filtration • Very thin (so not suited for protection) • Simple squamous epithelium • Single layer in membranesof flat cells • Locations—usually forms membranes • Lines air sacs of the lungs • Forms walls of capillaries • Forms serous membranes (serosae) that line and cover organs in ventral cavity • Functions in diffusion, filtration, or secretion 8 Epithelial Tissue • Simple cuboidal epithelium • Single layer of cubelike cells • Locations • Common in glands and their ducts • Forms walls of kidney tubules • Covers the surface of ovaries • Functions in secretion and absorption; ciliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells 9 Epithelial Tissue • Simple columnar epithelium • Single layer of tall cells • Goblet cells secrete mucus • Locations • Lining of the digestive tract from stomach to anus • Mucous membranes (mucosae) line body cavities opening to the exterior • Functions in secretion and absorption; ciliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells 10 Epithelial Tissue • Pseudostratified columnar epithelium • All cells rest on a basement membrane • Single layer, but some cells are shorter than others giving a false (pseudo) impression of stratification • Location: respiratory tract, where it is ciliated and known as pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium • Functions in absorption or secretion 11 Epithelial Tissue • Stratified epithelia • Consist of two or more cell layers • Function primarily in protection • Stratified squamous epithelium • • • • Most common stratified epithelium Named for cells present at the free (apical) surface, which are squamous Functions as a protective covering where friction is common Locations—lining of the: • Skin (outer portion) • Mouth • Esophagus 12 Epithelial Tissue • Stratified cuboidal epithelium —two layers of cuboidal cells; functions in protection • Stratified columnar epithelium —surface cells are columnar, and cells underneath vary in size and shape; functions in protection • Stratified cuboidal and columnar • Rare in human body • Found mainly in ducts of large glands 13 Epithelial Tissue • Transitional epithelium • • • • Composed of modified stratified squamous epithelium Shape of cells depends upon the amount of stretching Functions in stretching and the ability to return to normal shape Location: lining of urinary system organs 14 Epithelial Tissue • Glandular epithelia • One or more cells responsible for secreting a particular product • Secretions contain protein molecules in an aqueous (water-based) fluid • Secretion is an active process • Two major gland types develop from epithelial sheets • Endocrine glands • Ductless; secretions (hormones) diffuse into blood vessels • Examples include thyroid, adrenals, and pituitary • Exocrine glands • Secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface • Include sweat and oil glands, liver, and pancreas (both internal and external) 15 Exocrine Glands • Ducts carry products of exocrine glands to epithelial surface • Include the following diverse glands: • Mucus-secreting glands • Sweat and oil glands • Salivary glands • Liver and pancreas 16 Endocrine Glands • Ductless glands • Secrete substances directly into bloodstream • Produce molecules called hormones • Examples: pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, gonads, thymus, pineal etc. 17 Connective Tissue • Found everywhere in the body to connect body parts • Includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues • Functions • Protection • Support • Binding • Characteristics of connective tissue • Variations in blood supply • Some tissue types are well vascularized • Some have a poor blood supply or are avascular • Extracellular matrix • Nonliving material that surrounds living cells 18 Connective Tissue • Two main elements of the extracellular matrix 1.

Hyaline cartilage Elastic cartilage Fibrocartilage 22 • Dr Hisham Alshaikhli • M.B.Ch.B, M.Sc, Ph.D, PGCertMedTech-NZ • • • • Assistant Professor College of Nursing – Qatar University [email protected] Office hours: Mondays 12 pm-1 pm – Building I03 – Office 504 B.
