Chapter 5 Tissues. Intercellular Connections . Individual cells connect to form tissues 3 ways: Tight junctions- Desmosome- adhesion between cells in spots. Allows from some permeability. Gap junctions- cytoplasms of adjacent cells are connected through transport proteins.

Intercellular Connections • Individual cells connect to form tissues 3 ways: • Tight junctions- • Desmosome- adhesion between cells in spots. Allows from some permeability. • Gap junctions- cytoplasms of adjacent cells are connected through transport proteins. • Ions can pass freely through cells.
Tissue Types A tissue is a group of cells with a common structure & function The human body is composed of four main tissue types: • 1. • 2. Connective • 3. • 4. Nerve
Epithelial Tissue Epithelial Tissue
Characteristics • Always has a free (apical) surface exposed to outside or open space. • Has a basement membrane to anchor underlying tissue
Functions • Covers body surfaces • Protects • Absorbs • Excretes
Classified by Shape • Squamous – • Cuboidal – • Columnar –
Classified by Shape May occur in layers: • Simple – • Stratified – 2 or more layers • Pseudostratified– • Example – simple cuboidal • Example – stratified columnar
s Simple Squamous- Thin, flattened cells. Allow for diffusion and filtration. Line air sacs of lungs and walls of capillaries.
Simple cuboidal-single layer of cube shaped cells. Lines follicles of thyroid gland, kidneys and ducts of certain glands.
Simple columnar- single layer of elongated cells. Can contain cilia, used for protection and absorption in digestive tract.
Stratified squamous-Layers of squamous cells. Make up epidermis and line cavities exposed to external environment.
Stratified columnar- Several layers of columnar cells overlying cuboidal cells near the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar- Appear stratified but are not. Often contain cilia and goblet cells which secrete mucus.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnarw/goblet cells- Line Respiratory passages to trap unwanted particles
Transitional tissue- Changes in response to change in tension. Line urinary bladder and urethra.
Glandular Epithelium • Specialized to secrete substances • Those that secrete substances into ducts that open onto a surface are • Those that secrete into tissues or bloodare
Classifying Glands by Structure • Simple- • Compound- duct that does branch before secretory portion.
Classifying Glands by Type of Secretions 3 types: • Small portions of cells • in secretions • No loss of cytoplasm Ex. – mammary glands in secretions • Ex. – pancreas
Classifying by Secretions • Secretions w/entire cells filled w/secretory products; ex. – sebaceous (oil) glands
Functions • 1. connects • 2. • 3. protects • 4. • 5. fills spaces
Functions • 6. stores fat • 7. • 8. protects against infection • 9. • 10.helps repair damaged tissue
Characteristics • 1. Consists of cells in a matrix (intercellular material) • 2. Cells some distance apart • 3. • 4.
Types of Fibers: • collagenous – composed of collagen (protein); have great tensile strength; slightly elastic; compose bones, tendons & ligaments
Types of Fibers - continued • elastic – composed of elastin (protein); very elastic but weaker; compose vocal cords & air passages of lungs
Types of Fibers - continued • Reticular – composed of very fine collagenous fibers.
Types of Cells 1. Fixed cells – stay in one place & have stable numbers; 2 types: • fibroblasts – large & star-shaped; most prevalent
Types of Cells - continued • mast cells – may release heparin (for blood clotting) & histamines (promotes allergic reactions & inflammation); usually located near blood vessel walls
Types of Cells - continued 2. Wandering cells – • macrophages – (Purple cells – macrophages, Green cells – T-lymphocytes)
Areolar tissue-binds the skin to underlying organs and under epithelium to provide bloodflow.
Adipose tissue- connective tissue composed of fats, cushion joints and provide insulation
Regular dense connective- strong fibers bind body parts together. Found in ligaments and tendons.
Irregular dense connective- disorganized and strong. Found in the dermis
Hyaline cartilage- Most common, found on ends of bones, nose cavity and supporting rings of resp. system.
Fibrocartilage- tough tissue containing collagenous fibers. Shock absorbers between vertebrae.
Elastic cartilage- flexible cartilage make up ears and larynx
Bone- A- central canal (contains blood vessels) B- Canaliculi- minute tubes allow for movement between cells.
Muscle Tissue 3 types: • Skeletal- • Used for movement • Smooth- lacks striations found in skeletal, used for involuntary movements • Ex- move food through digestive tract • Cardiac-
