Classification of Epithelium
- Simple epithelium
- One layer of cells
- Stratified epithelium
- More than one cell layer
- Cells at free surface
- Squamous
- Flat cells
- Cuboidal
- Cube-shaped
- Columnar
- Column-shaped
Number of Cell Layers
Shape of Cells
Simple Epithelia Functions
- Absorption
- Secretion
- Filtration
Types of Simple Epithelia
- Simple Squamous
- Simple Cuboidal
- Simple Columnar
- Pseudostratified Columnar
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Single layer squamous cells
- Forms membranes
- Filtration
- Exchange substances
- Alveoli, walls capillaries, serous membranes
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- One layer cuboidal cells
- Glands, ducts, walls kidney tubules, surface ovaries
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Single layer tall cells
- Goblet cells
- Lines digestive tract
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
- Single layer of cells differing in height
- Appears stratified
- Absorption & secretion
- Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
- Respiratory tract
Stratified Epithelium Functions
- More durable
- Protection
Types of Stratified Epithelium
- Stratified squamous
- Stratified cuboidal
- Stratified columnar
- Transitional
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- Most common stratified type in body
- Free edge – squamous
- Basement membrane – cuboidal or columnar
- Found in sites that receive abuse or friction
- Esophagus, mouth, outer skin
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Surface – cuboidal
- Rare in body
- Ducts of large glands
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
- Surface – columnar
- Rare in body
- Ducts of large glands
Transitional Epithelium
- Modified stratified squamous
- Lining bladder, ureters, urethra
Glandular Epithelium
- Gland
- One or more cells
- Secrete product
- Secretions
- Protein molecules
- Aqueous fluid
Types of Glands
- Ductless
- Secrete into blood
- Hormones
- Thyroid, adrenals, pituitary
- Ducts
- Secrete into duct
- Sweat and oil glands, liver, pancreas
Endocrine Gland
Exocrine Gland
Connective Tissue Function & Location
- Connects body parts
- Protecting
- Supporting
- Binding together other tissue
- Found everywhere in body
- Most abundant tissue
Function
Location
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- Blood supply varies
- Most are vascularized
- Tendons, ligaments poor supply
- Cartilage avascular
- Cell types vary
- Amount extracellular matrix varies
- Nonliving substance
- Outside cells
Extracellular Matrix
- Why connective tissue differs
- Produced by connective tissue cells
- Secreted to exterior
