  1. APICAL SURFACE MODIFICATIONS OF THE CELL Prof.Dr.Meltem ÖZGÜNER Department of HistologyEmbryology

  2. TISSUES • EpithelialTissue • ConnectiveTissue • MuscleTissue • NervousTissue

  3. TISSUES • EpithelialTissue • Covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and form glands

  4. TISSUES • ConnectiveTissue • Underliesorsupportstheotherthreebasictissues, bothstructurallyandfunctionally

  5. ConnectiveTissue

  6. TISSUES • MuscleTissue • Madeup of contractilecellsand is responsibleformovement

  7. TISSUES • NervousTissue • Receives, transmitsandintegratesinformationfromoutsideand inside the body tocontroltheactivities of the body.

  8. EPITHELIAL TISSUE • Thecellsmakeupepitheliumhavethreeprincipalcharacteristics: 1-Theyarecloselyapposedandadheretooneanotherbymeans of specificcell-to-celladhesionmoleculesthat form specializedcelljunctions.

  9. EPITHELIAL TISSUE 2-Theyexhibitfunctionalandmorphologicpolarity • A freesurfaceorapical domain • A lateral domain • Abasal domain

  10. EPITHELIAL TISSUE 3-Theirbasalsurface is attachedto an underlyingbasementmembrane, (a noncellular, protein-polysaccharide-richlayer)

  11. EPITHELIAL TISSUE • CELL POLARITY • Epithelialcellsexhibitdistinctpolarity. • Theyhave an apical domain, a lateral domain, andabasal domain. • Specificbiochemicalcharacteristicsareassociatedwitheachcellsurface. • Thesecharacteristicsandgeometricarrangements of thecellsdeterminethefunctionalpolarity of allthreecelldomains.

  12. EPITHELIAL TISSUE • Thefreeorapical domain is alwaysdirectedtowardtheexteriorsurfaceorthelumen of an enclosedcavityortube.

  13. THE APICAL DOMAIN AND ITS MODIFICATIONS • Theapical domain, theregion of theepithelialcellfacingthelumen, is rich in ionchannels, carrierproteins, H+ ATPase, glycoproteins, andhydrolyticenzymes • It is alsothe site whereregulatedsecretoryproductsaredeliveredforrelease.

  14. THE APICAL DOMAIN AND ITS MODIFICATIONS • Inmanyepithelialcells, theapical domain exhibitsspecialstructuralsurfacemodificationstocarryoutspecificfunctions.

  15. THE APICAL DOMAIN AND ITS MODIFICATIONS Thestructuralsurfacemodificationsinclude; -Microvilli -Stereoclia (stereovilli) -Cilia

  16. MICROVILLI • Microvilliarefingerlikecytoplasmicprojections on theapicalsurface of mostepithelialcells. • As observed in electronmicroscope (EM), microvillivarywidely in appearance.

  17. MICROVILLI • Insomecelltypes, microvilliareshort, irregular, bleblikeprojections. • Inothercelltypes, theyaretall, closelypacked, uniformprojectionsthatincreasethefreecellsurfacearea.

  18. MICROVILLI • Thenumberandshape of themicrovilli of a givencelltypecorrelatewithitsabsortivecapacity.

  19. MICROVILLI Amongthefluidtransportingepithelia, e.g., • epithelium of intestineand • epithelium of kidneytubule, a distinctiveborder of verticalstriations at theapicalsurface of thecell, representingthemicrovilli, is easilyseen in thelightmicroscope.

  20. MICROVILLI • Inintestinalabsortivecellsthissurfacestructure (consistsmicrovilli) is calledthestriatedborder • Inthekidneytubulecells,it is calledbrushborder

  21. MICROVILLI • Themicrovilli of theintestinalepithelium (striatedborder) arethemosthighlyorderedareevenmoreuniform in appearancethanthosethatconstitutethebrushborder of kidneycells.

  22. MICROVILLI • Withinthemicrovillithereareclusters of actinfilaments (microfilaments). • Actinfilamentsareanchoredtovillinlocated in the tip of themicrovillusandextenddownintotheapicalcytoplasm.

  23. MICROVILLI • Microvilli are apical extensions of the cell that are filled with actin. • An extracellular coat (glycocalyx) is bound to the plasmalemma of the microvilli. • The terminal web is a network that contains actin filaments, intermediate filaments and spectrin.

  24. MICROVILLI • Cross sectioned microvilli in apical region of cell of intestinal lining showing cores of actin. • The outsides of the microvilli are covered with a glycocalyx (cell coat).

  25. MICROVILLI • Actinfilaments of themicrovilliinteractwith a horizontal network of actinfilaments, the terminal web.

  26. MICROVILLI • Terminal web, liesjustbelowthebase of themicrovilli. • The terminal web is composed of actinfilamentsstabilizedbyspectrin , whichalsoanchorsthe terminal web totheapicalcellmembrane.

  27. MICROVILLI • The presence of myosin II andtropomyosin in the terminal web explainsitscontractileability.

  28. MICROVILLI • Theactinfilaments inside themicrovillusarecross-linked at 10-nmintervalsbytheactin-bundlingproteinsfascinandfimbrin. • Thiscross-linkageprovidessupportandgivesrigiditytothemicrovilli.

STEREOCILIA • Stereociliaareunusuallylong, immotilemicrovilli • Theyarelong, nonmotileprocesses of cells of theepididymisandductusdeferensandthesensory (hair) cells of theear.thatareactuallylongerbranchedmicrovilliandshould not be confusedwithtruecilia. • Inepididymisand D.deferens- absorptivefunction • Insensorycells of theear- sensoryreceptorfunction

  31. STEREOCILIA • Likemicrovilli, stereociliaaresupportedbyinternalactinfilamentbundlesthatarecross-linkedbyfimbrin. • Unlikemicrovilli, erzinanchorstheactinfilamentstotheplasmamembrane of stereocilia.

  32. STEREOCILIA • Stereocilia of thesensoryepithelium of theearareuniform in structureandpossess an internalstructuresimilartothat of genitalductstereocilia. • Howevertheylackbotherzinandα-actin.

  33. STEREOCILIA

  34. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Ciliaareelongated, motilestructureson thesurface of someepithelialcells. • 5-10 µm longand 0.2 µm in diameter.

  35. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Theyaresurroundedbythecellmembraneandcontain a centralpairof isolatedmicrotubulessurroundedby9 morepairsof microtubules. • (Axoneme)

  36. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Ciliaareinsertedintobasalbodies, whichareelectron dense structures at theapicalpolejustbelowthecellmembrane

  37. CILIA & FLAGELLA

  38. CILIA & FLAGELLA • TheA microtubuleis composed of 13 tubulinprotofilaments, arranged in side-by-sideconfiguration, whereastheB microtubuleis composed of 10 tubulinprotofilaments.

  39. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Incrosssection, eachdoubletexhibits a pair of armsthatcontainciliarydynein, a microtubuleassociated protein

  40. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Thetwocentralmicrotubulesareseperated but arepartiallyenclosedby a centralsheatprojections at 14 nmintervalsalongthelength of thecilium.

  41. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Radialspokesextendfromeach of the nine doubletstowardthetwocentralmicrotubules • Theproteinsformingradialspokesandthenexinconnectionsbetweentheouterdoubletsmakelargeamplitudeoscillations of theciliapossible.

  42. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Thetwocentralmicrotubules of theciliumend at thelevel of the top of thebasal body.. • Crosssection of thebasal body reveal nine circularyarrangedmicrotubuletriplets but not thetwocentralsinglemicrotubules of thecilium.

  43. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Basalbodieshave a structureanalogoustothat of thecentrioles.

  44. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Inlivingcells, ciliahave a rapidbackandforthmovement.

  45. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Inmostciliatedepithelia, such as thetrachea, bronchi, oroviducts, cellsmayhave as many as severalhundredcilia.

  46. CILIA & FLAGELLA • Inthetrachea, theciliasweepmucusandtrappedparticlestowardtheoropharynxwhere it is swallowedwithsalivaandeliminatedfromthe body. • Intheoviducts, ciliahelp transport ova andfluidtowarstheuterus.
