  1. Body Tissues and Membranes Chapter 5

  2. What are tissues? • Cells are organized into groups and layers called TISSUES • Each tissue is composed of similar cells that are specialized to carry on a particular function • Secretion • Absorption • Support

  3. Tissue Types • Epithelial • Connective • Muscle • Nervous

  4. Epithelial Tissue • Covering of all major body surfaces • Makes up glands • Always has one free surface and one that’s attached to connective tissue • Basement Membrane Free Surface Basement Membrane Connective Tissue

  5. Epithelial Tissue • Lacks blood vessels • Nutrients diffuse from capillaries of underlying tissue • Rapid rate of reproduction • Constantly sloughed off • Tightly packed • Create good barriers

  6. Epithelial Terms • Shape • Squamous-flat, thin cells • Cuboidal-cube shaped cells • Columnar-tall, elongated cells • Layers • Simple-single layer • Stratified-two/more layers

  7. Types of Epithelial Tissue • Simple Squamous Epithelium • Single layer of “pancake” cells • Easy diffusion • Lung alveoli (air sacs), capillaries Nucleus

  8. Types of Epithelial Tissues • Simple Cuboidal • Single layer of cube-shaped cells • Primarily secretory cells • Ovaries, kidneys, salivary glands Centrally located nucleus

  9. Types of Epithelial Tissue • Simple Columnar • Protection / Absorption • Microvilli • Increase surface area • Digestive tract Nuclei located on same level

  10. Types of Epithelial Tissue • Pseudostratified Columnar • Similar to S.C. • Have cilia along edge • Line respiratory system • Note: how nuclei are at two or more layers Goblet cell: secretes mucus ?

  11. Types of Epithelial Tissue • Stratified Squamous • Many layers thick • New ones push old ones up • Epidermis • Stratified Cuboidal • 2 or 3 layers of cuboidal cells • Stratified Columnar • 2 or 3 layers of columnar cells

  12. Types of Epithelial Tissue • Transitional Epithelium • Responds to tension - stretches out • Creates protective barriers • Lining of bladder & ureters

  13. Glandular Epithelium • Specialized to produce and secrete substances • Make up glands • Exocrine glands - dump secretions into ducts • Endocrine glands - dump secretions into bloodstream

  14. Epithelial Tissue • -Cells readily divide • -Cells are continually • replaced • -Cells are tightly • packed • -Classified by shape • and number of layers

  15. Connective Tissue • Most abundant type of tissue by weight • Functions: • Support • Stores fat • Produces blood cells • Protection from infection

  16. Connective Tissue • Cells spaced further apart than epithelia

  17. Types of Fibers • Collagenous fibers - thick, made of collagen • Strong, slightly elastic, flexible • Ligaments, tendons • Elastic fibers- made of elastin • Branched, stretch easily • Vocal cords

  18. Loose Connective Tissue • Binds skin to underlying tissue • Lies beneath most epithelial tissue

  19. Adipose Tissue (FAT) • Form of loose connective tissue • Protective cushion • Stores energy

  20. Dense Connective Tissue • Binds body parts together • Make up tendons, ligaments

  21. Cartilage • Rigid • Protection, support • Ends of bones, nose, external ears, larynx, between vertebrae

  22. Bone • Most rigid • Functions: • Internal structure • Attachment for muscles • Blood formation • Inorganic mineral storage

  23. Other Connective Tissues • Blood • Transports substances between cells and externalenvironment

  24. Muscle Tissue • Contractile - tissue can contract, becoming shorter and longer • Causes body parts to move • 3 types: • Skeletal muscle-bones • Smoothmuscle-organs • Cardiac muscle-heart only

  25. Nervous Tissue • Found in brain, spinal cord, nerves • Neurons - basic nerve cells • Respond to changes in environment and send messages

  26. Epithelial tissue Smooth muscle
