Basic Tissue Types

• There are four basic tissue types– Epithelium– Muscle– Bone– Connective Tissue

• Today we will discuss the First type – Epithelium

Page 5: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial tissue consists of cells arranged in continuous

sheets in either single or multiple layers. They are closely packed with little

intracellular space

Page 6: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial Cells

• Provide an excellent protective barrier

• Separate and isolate substances within the body

• They have a very high rate of cell division, due to high rate of physical stress and injury

Page 7: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial cells have specialized areas

• Apical (free) surface - Faces the body surface, lines a body cavity or the open space of an internal organ

Page 8: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial cells have specialized areas

• Apical (free) surface - Faces the body surface, lines a body cavity or the open space of an internal organ

• Lateral surface - faces adjacent cells on either side and may contain gap junctions for communication

Page 9: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Gap Junction - used for communication

Page 10: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial cells have specialized areas

• Apical (free) surface - Faces the body surface, lines a body cavity or the open space of an internal organ

• Lateral surface - faces adjacent cells on either side and may contain gap junctions for communication

• Basal surface - opposite the apical end and adheres to the matrix

Page 12: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial tissue has a nerve supply but has no blood

vessels going to it (avascular) these cells get all

their nutrition through the process of diffusion

Page 13: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Epithelial cells are classified according to two

characteristics: Layers and Shapes

Page 14: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Layer Classification

• Simple Epithelium - Single layer that functions in diffusion, filtration, secretion and absorption - These cells are found in the blood vessels, heart, air sacs and parts of the kidney

Page 15: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Simple Epithelium

Page 16: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Layer Classification

• Stratified Epithelium - Contains two or more layers of cells, found in locations with considerable wear and tear. These cells are found in the tongue, esophagus, mouth and vagina

Page 17: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Page 19: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Layer Classification

• Pseudostratified Epithelium - Multiple layers of cells with nuclei appearing at different levels. Not all cells reach the apical end, however all cells reach the matrix. These cell are found in the respiratory tract, glands and the male reproductive tract

Page 22: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Shape Classification

• Squamous Epithelium - Flat cells, arranged like tiles, very thin and allow for the rapid movement of substances

• These cells may or may not have a keratinized surface (keratin protein) depending on location

Shape Classification

• Cuboidal Epithelium - These cells are as tall as they are wide. They are shaped like cubes or hexagons. These cells often have microvilli on their apical surface

• Cuboidal Epithelium – these cells are often found in the kidney and salivary glands where they provide mechanical support

Page 25: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Cuboidal Epithelium

Page 26: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Shape Classification

• Columnar Epithelium - These cells are much taller than they are wide. Many of these cells have cilia, they are specialized for secretion and absorption

• Columnar Epithelium – helps to facilitate movement across membranes such as in the digestive tract

Page 27: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Shape Classification

• Columnar Epithelium – May also contain hair-like projections called Cilia. These hair-like projections help to propel material along such as mucous in the trachea. This is called the muco-ciliary elevator it moves mucous from the lungs, to the mouth where we swallow it (often without knowing it!)

Connective Tissue

• The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an extracellular matrix

Page 49: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue

• The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an extracellular matrix

• The matrix may be jelly-like (Fat), fluid (plasma), dense (cartilage), rigid (bone) – The nature of the matrix is determined by the function of the particular type of connective tissue

Page 50: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue - Blood

• Blood has a fluid matrix called plasma in which red and white blood cells and platelets are suspended.

• The plasma contains salt and hormones

• As the blood flows gases are transported, hormones and waste materials are moved throughout the body

Page 51: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue - Bone

• Bone forms the framework that support the body

• Its provides a framework to anchor muscle (Remember, tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone – both are types of connective tissue)

Page 52: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue - Bone

• Bone supports the main organs of the body

• Bone is strong and non-flexible• Bone cells (osteocytes) are

embedded in a hard matrix composed of calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P)

Page 53: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue - Cartilage

• Cartilage is another type of connective tissue with widely spaced cells

• The matrix is composed of sugars and proteins – proteoglycans

• Cartilage smooth the surface of bone and acts as a shock absorber between joints

Page 60: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Connective Tissue - Cartilage

• In addition to being found at the end of joints cartilage is found in the rings of the trachea (Why do we have cartilage here?), in the larynx, in the nose, and in the tips of the ears (What purpose does this serve?)

• Consider how all these cartilage types differ

your skeleton - so they are also called skeletal muscle

Page 88: Www.pascack.k12.nj.us Pascack Hills HS Faculty Whitfield, James Env. Bio. Period #2.

Skeletal Muscle

• Under a microscope these muscle show alternating light and dark bands or striations of proteins – hence they are also called striated muscle (voluntary, skeletal, striated)
