Presentation Transcript

  1. Ch. 4 Part 2 Epithelial tissues

  2. Epithelial Tissue • Epithelial tissue or epithelium • Consists of cells arranged in continuous sheets in either single or multiple layers • Cells are closely packed and held tightly together by cell junctions • Have various surfaces • Apical (free) • Lateral • Basal

  3. Epithelial Tissue • Surfaces • Apical – faces body surface, body cavity, lumen (interior space), or tubular duct • Lateral – face adjacent cells on all sides; lateral surfaces contain junctions • Basal – opposite of apical; deepest layer of cells; adhere to basement membrane; have hemidesmosomes • Note: apical layer refers to most superficial basal layer refers to deepest layer

  4. Basement Membrane • Thin extracellular layer that consists of two layers: basal lamina and reticular lamina • Basal lamina (lamina = thin) – closer to epithelial cells • Contains proteins: collagen, laminin, glycoproteins, proteoglycans • Reticular lamina – closer to underlying connective tissue • Contains fibrous proteins (fibroblasts) • Function: point of attachment and support for overlying epithelial tissue

  5. Basement Membrane

  6. Epithelial Tissue Types • Based on 2 factors: layers and shape • Layers • Simple = single • Function: diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion, absorption • Stratified = layer • Function: protection from wear and tear • Pseudostratified (pseudo = false) • Actually simple, but appear stratified because of nuclei arrangement • Function: ciliated, secrete mucus

  7. Epithelial Tissue Types • Shape • Squamous • Arranged like floor tiles, thin • Function: rapid passage of substances • Cuboidal • Shaped like cubes or hexagons • Function: secretion or absorption • Columnar • Taller than wide, like columns • Function: protection, secretion or absorption • Transitional • Change shape from flat to cuboidal • Function: stretch (urinary bladder)

  8. Epithelial Tissue Types • Combine layers with shape to get all epithelial tissue types (plus some extra) • Ciliated – have cilia • Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar • Stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, transitional • Keratinized – contains keratin (protein)

  9. Epithelial Tissue Types • Red book p. 113 – 117 • Blue book p. 100-105
