Tissues Chapter 3: Part 2
Introduction to Tissues • Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function. • Organs contain several tissue types. • Arrangement of tissue determines the structure and ability of organs. http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/RITCHISO//tissues.gif
Introduction to Tissues • Many Types of Tissues • Epithelial Tissue Covering • Connective Tissue Support • Muscle Tissue Movement • Nervous Tissue Control
Epithelial Tissues • The lining, covering, and glandular tissues • General Functions: • Protection • Absorption • Filtration • Secretion
Epithelial Tissues • Special Characteristics: • Fit closely together to form continuous sheets • Apical Surface- a free surface or edge that is exposed • Basement Membrane- lower surface • Avascular- no blood vessels • Regenerate easily when well nourished. Apical Surface http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/bookbind/pubbooks/ehapplace/chapter3/deluxe.html Basement Membrane
Classification of Epithelial Tissues • Relative Number of Cell Layers • Simple (One cell layer) • Stratified (More than one cell layer) • Description of Cell Shape • Squamous (Flat) • Cuboidal • Columnar
Simple Squamous Epithelium • Found in the membranes for filtration or rapid diffusion • Air sacs in lungs • Walls of Capillaries • Serous Membranes (cover organs)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium • Found in: • Glands and their ducts • Walls of kidney tubules • Outer surface of ovaries
Simple Columnar Epithelium • Goblet Cells • Mucous membranes • The entire length of the digestive tract
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium • Some cells are shorter than others • Nuclei appear at different levels • Ciliated tissue lines most of the respiratory tract.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium • Most Common • Areas subject to friction • Esophagus • Mouth • Epidermis
Stratified Cuboidal/Columnar Epithelium • Very Rare in the Body • Ducts of large glands
Transitional Epithelium • Able to stretch • Urinary bladder • Ureters • Part of urethra
Cortisol Glandular Epithelium • Glands consist of one or more cells that make and secrete a particular product • Secretions are proteins in an aqueous solution produced by a gland. Adrenaline http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Illu_adrenal_gland.jpg
Glandular Tissue • Endocrine Glands • Lose connection to surface (ductless) • Secretions diffuse directly into the blood • Produce hormones • Thyroid • Adrenals • Pituitary http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/Illu_endocrine_system.jpg
Glandular Tissue • Exocrine Glands • Secretions empty onto epithelial surface (ducts) • Sweat and oil glands • Liver and pancreas http://www.pg.com/science/skincare/Skin_tws_34/skin_34_02.jpg
Connective Tissues • Found everywhere in the body. • The most abundant and widely distributed tissues • Functions • Binds body tissues together • Supports the body • Provides protection
Characteristics of Connective Tissues • Variations in blood supply • Some tissues are well vascularized • Some have a poor blood supply or are avascular • Extracellular Matrix • The nonliving material that surrounds the cells • Two main elements • Ground Substance • Fibers
Extracellular Matrix • Ground Substance • mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules • Fibers • Produced by the cell • Three Types: • Collagen fibers • Elastic fibers • Reticular fibers
Osseous tissue Composed of: Bone cells in lacunae Hard matrix of calcium salts Large number of collagen fibers Used to protect and support the body Bone
Most cartilage Composed of: Abundant collagen fibers Rubbery matrix The entire fetal skeleton is hyaline cartilage Hyaline Cartilage
Provides elasticity Example: Supports the external ear Elastic Cartilage http://dictionary.laborlawtalk.com/Earlobe_stretching
Highly compressable Example: Forms cushion-like discs in between vertebrae Fibrocartilage
Main matrix element is collagen fibers Cells are fibroblasts Examples: Tendon- attach muscle to bone Ligament- attach bone to bone Dense Connective Tissue
Most widely distributed connective tissue Soft, pliable tissue Contains all fiber types Can soak up excess fluid Edema- when the tissue soaks up excess fluid, the area swells and becomes puffy Areolar Connective Tissue
Matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate Many cells contain large lipid deposits Functions: Insulates the body Protects some organs Serves as a site of fluid storage Adipose Tissue
Delicate network of interwoven fibers Forms stroma (internal supporting network) of lymphoid organs Lymph nodes Spleen Bone marrow Reticular Connective Tissue
Blood cells surrounded by fluid matrix Fibers are visible during clotting Functions as transport vehicle for materials Blood
Muscular Tissues • The purpose of muscle tissues is to produce movement. • Three types of muscle tissues • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth
Can be controlled voluntarily Cells attach to connective tissue Cells are striated Cells have more than one nucleus Skeletal Muscle
Found only in the heart Function is to pump blood (involuntarily) Cells are attached together by intercalated disks Gap junctions allow ions o pass freely from cell to cell Cells are striated and have only one nucleus Cardiac Muscle
Also called visceral muscle Involuntary muscle Surrounds hollow organs Cells: Are spindle-shaped Have one nucleus Has no visible striations Smooth Muscle
Neurons and the nerve support cells Functions to send impulses to other parts of the body Irritability Conductivity Supporting cells- insulate, support and protect the delicate neurons Nervous Tissues
Tissue Repair • Regeneration • Replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells • Fibrosis • Repair by dense connective tissue • Forms Scar Tissue • The type of tissue repair depends on: • The type of tissue injured • The severity of the injury
The Events of Tissue Repair • The capillaries become very permeable • Allows clotting proteins into the region • Walls off the injured area to prevent bacteria from spreading to other areas • Granulation tissue forms • Pink tissue composed of capillaries • Surface Epithelium regenerates
Tissue Repair • Tissues that regenerate easily • Epithelial tissue • Fibrous connective tissue and bone • Tissues that regenerate poorly • Skeletal muscle • Tissues that are replaced largely with scar tissue • Cardiac muscle • Nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord
Developmental Aspects of Tissues • Life begins as a single cell • Cells undergo mitosis to product the multicellular body • Cells continue to divide through puberty • Cells that are exposed to friction must replace lost cells • Connective tissue continues to divide as it is involved in tissue repair • Muscle tissue ends cell division by the end of puberty • Nervous tissue is amiotic shortly after birth
