  1. Lab Exercise 5 Epithelial and Connective Tissues Portland Community College BI 231

  2. Tissues • Groups of cells similar in structure and function • Each tissue is then further subdivided into categories. • All organs are made of a combination of different tissues. • The four types of tissues • Epithelial • Connective • Muscle • Nerve

  3. Epithelium • Covers all body surfaces, inside and out • Is anchored to connective tissue by a layer of glycoproteins and protein fibers called the basal lamina

  4. Epithelial TissueDistinguishing Characteristics • Cellularity: Composed almost entirely of cells • Polarity: apical and basal surfaces (top and a bottom) • Attachment: Supported by connective tissue (basement membrane) • Avascular: Contains no blood vessels: obtains nutrients by diffusion • Regeneration: Rapidly replaces lost cells by cell division

  5. Functions of Epithelia • Protection: Skin • Secretion: glands release secretions • Absorption: Uptake nutrients • Sensory: Taste buds • Filtration: In the kidneys

  6. Classification of Epithelia • First name: • Simple: one layer • Stratified: more than one layer • Second name: • Based on the shape of the top layer of cells • Squamous (flat) • Cuboidal (square) • Columnar (rectangle) • Two additional categories • Transitional • Pseudostratified

  7. Classification of Epithelia

  8. Classification of Epithelia • Squamous • Cuboidal • Columnar

  9. Simple Squamous Epithelium • Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped nuclei and sparse cytoplasm

  10. Simple Squamous Epithelium • Top View

  11. Simple Squamous Epithelium

  12. Simple Squamous Epithelium • Functions: • Diffusion • Alveoli in the respiratory system allows for exchange of O2 and CO2 • Filtration • Capillaries allow fluid and other substances out and holds blood cells and proteins in • Lubrication • Secretes lubricating substances in serosae

  13. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium • Single layer of cube like cells with large, spherical central nuclei

  14. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

  15. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium • Functions: • Secretion • Glands such as the thyroid are composed of simple cuboidal epithelium and secrete hormones ect… • Absorption • In the kidney, the proximal convoluted tubule is composed of simple cuboidal epithelium and reabsorbs water and other nutrients from the filtered fluid

  16. Simple Columnar Epithelium • Single layer of tall cells with oval nuclei toward the basal surface • Goblet cells are often found in this layer

  17. Simple Columnar Epithelium

  18. Simple Columnar Epithelium

  19. Simple Columnar Epithelium • Functions • Secretion • Example: In the stomach, these cells secrete digestive enzymes • Absorption • Example: In the intestine, these cells absorb nutrients

  20. Stratified Squamous Epithelium • Composed of several layers of cells • Top layer flat • Bottom layers any shape • Function in protection of underlying areas subjected to abrasion

  21. Stratified Squamous Epithelium • Non-keratinized • Composed of several layers of cells • Top layer flat • Bottom layers any shape

  22. Stratified Squamous EpitheliumNon-Keratinized

  23. Stratified Squamous EpitheliumNon-Keratinized • Functions • Physical protection against abrasion and pathogens • Non-Keratinized is associated with “moist” areas • Mouth • Throat • Esophagus • Anus • Vagina

  24. Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized Looks “flakey” on the top

  25. Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized

  26. Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized • Functions • Physical Protection • Found only in the epidermis of the skin • Keratin is a protein that helps strengthen the cells against abrasion

  27. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium • Single layer of cells with different heights; some do not reach the free surface • Nuclei are seen at different levels • May be ciliated (PCCE) or non-ciliated

  28. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

  29. Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated Epithelium (PCCE)

  30. Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated Epithelium (PCCE) • Functions • Protection • Example: Lines the upper respiratory tract. The cilia sweep debris toward the throat • Secretion • Example: May contain goblet cells (unicellular glands) that secrete mucus

  31. Transitional Epithelium • Several cell layers, basal cells are cuboidal • Apical cells are dome shaped when not stretched • Apical cells are flat when stretched • Only found in Urinary System • Functions: • Allows expansion and recoil after stretching

  32. Transitional Epithelium Distended bladder Empty bladder

  33. Stratified Cuboidal and Columnar • Typically two cell layers thick • Rare • Functions: • Secretion • Found in some sweat and mammary glands

  34. Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

  35. Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

  36. Stratified Columnar Epithelium • Limited distribution in the body • To tell the difference between this and pseudostratified columnar, look at the nucleus. • The nuclei are lined up in a straight row • Function • Protection • Found in the pharynx, male urethra, lining some glandular ducts, and anus

  37. Stratified Columnar Epithelium

  38. Stratified Columnar Epithelium

  39. Connective Tissue • 4 Types • Connective Tissue Proper • Bone • Blood • Cartilage

  40. Connective Tissue Features • Specialized cells • Matrix: Nonliving material between the cells that makes up most of the volume (ground substance + fibers) • Extracellular fibers • Ground substance: Composed chiefly of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans • Specific composition varies between tissues (Blood=fluid, Cartilage=gel like, Bone=Solid)

  41. Connective Tissue Fibers • 3 types of fibers include collagen, elastic and reticular • Collagen Fibers:Fibrous protein molecules • Extremely tough • High tensile strength • Strongest type of fibers in connective tissue.

  42. Connective Tissue Fibers • Elastic Fibers: Form branching networks • Elastin: a rubber like protein that allow it to act like a rubber band and snap back to its original shape after it is stretched • Reticular Fibers:Forming delicate networks • Fine collagenous fibers (with a different chemical structure) branch extensively • Surround small blood vessels and support soft tissue organs

  43. Blast cells • Undifferentiated cells (blast = forming) • Fibroblasts- fount in loose and dense connective tissues (secrete matrix) • Chondroblasts in cartilage • Osteoblasts in bone • Hemocytoblasts in blood • ‘cytes’ are the mature forms

  44. Cells of Connective Tissue Proper • Reticular cells: specialized fibroblasts found in reticular connective tissue • Macrophages: Scavenger cells that engulf pathogens or damaged cells • Adipocytes: Fat cells • Plasma cells: produce antibodies • Mast cells: Stimulate local inflammation: contain histamine and heparin • Leukocytes: WBC involved in immunity

  45. Mesenchyme • Embryonic Connective tissue • Gel-like ground substance with fine protein fibers and immature cells; gives rise to all other connective tissues

  46. Areolar Connective Tissue (Loose) • Gel like matrix • Contains all 3 fiber types • Functions: • Wraps and cushions organs • Holds and conveys tissue fluid • Locations: • Under epithelial tissues • Packages organs • Surrounds capillaries

  47. Areolar Connective Tissue (Loose) Fibroblast Collagen fiber Macrophage Elastic fiber

  48. Adipose Tissue (Loose) • Function: • Storage of lipid molecules • Insulation
