Tissues • Groups of cells similar in structure and function • The four types of tissues • Epithelial • Connective • Muscle • Nerve
Epithelial Tissue • covers the body surfaces • lines the lumen of organs • lines the body cavities • forms glands and lines ducts
Epithelial Tissue - characteristics • Cellularity – • Special contacts – tight / desmosomes • Polarity – apical / basal • Supported by connective tissue – lamina • Avascular but innervated – • Regenerative –
Classification of Epithelia • Simple or stratified Figure 4.1a
apical basal
Classification of Epithelia • Squamous, cuboidal, or columnar • DESCRIPTION Figure 4.1b
Simple Squamous DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS PRESENCE- glomeruli, alveoli, etc. Figure 4.2a
C AL Squamous Type II cell
Lumen of alveolus Simple squamous of alveolus Simple squamous of capillary Respiratory membrane Lumen of alveolus (bar = 1um)
Kidney (Glomerulus) Simple squamous epithelium (arrow) lines the glomerulus. Bar = 50um
Epithelia: Simple Cuboidal • DESCRIPTION • FUNCTIONS • PRESENCE- Figure 4.2b
