Intercellular Connections
• Individual cells connect to form tissues 3 ways:– Tight junctions- prevents permeability of ions
through junction.– Desmosome- adhesion between cells in
spots. Allows from some permeability.– Gap junctions- cytoplasms of adjacent cells
are connected through transport proteins. • Ions can pass freely through cells.
Intercellular Connections
Tissue Types
A tissue is a group of cells with a common structure & function
The human body is composed of four main tissue types:
1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscle 4. Nerve
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
Characteristics
Always has a free (apical) surface exposed to outside or open space.
Lacks blood vessels Readily divide and replicate Has a basement membrane to
anchor underlying tissue Between epithelial and connective
tissue
Functions
Covers body surfaces Makes up glands Protects Absorbs Secretes Excretes
Classified by Shape
Squamous – flattened cells Cuboidal – cube-shaped Columnar – tall, column-shaped
Classified by Shape
May occur in layers: Simple – 1 layer of cells Stratified – 2 or more layers Pseudostratified – appears to be
layered, but is not Example – simple cuboidal Example – stratified columnar
Examples of Epithelial Tissue
s
Simple Squamous- Thin, flattened cells. Allow for diffusion and filtration. Line air sacs of
lungs and walls of capillaries.
Simple cuboidal-single layer of cube shaped cells. Lines follicles of thyroid gland, kidneys and ducts of certain glands. Used for secretion and absorption
Simple columnar- single layer of elongated cells. Can contain cilia, used for protection and absorption in digestive tract. Can contain goblet cells.
Stratified squamous- Layers of squamous cells. Make up epidermis and line cavities exposed to external environment. Outer layer die and accumulate keratin.
Stratified columnar- Several layers of columnar cells overlying cuboidal cells near the
basement membrane. Found in male reprod. System and pharynx
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar- Appear stratified but are not. Often contain cilia and goblet cells which secrete mucus. Line respiratory passages.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnarw/goblet cells- Line Respiratory passages to trap
unwanted particles
Transitional tissue- Changes in response to change in tension (stretching). Line urinary bladder and urethra. Larger cells at surface, smaller cells deeper.
Glandular Epithelium
• Specialized to secrete substances• Usually glands are lined w/cuboidal or
columnar epithelium• Those that secrete substances into ducts
that open onto a surface are exocrine glands (salivary, oil glands, etc.)
• Those that secrete into tissues or blood are endocrine glands (pituitary)
Classifying Glands by Structure
• Simple- does not branch off before reaching secretory portion
• Compound- duct that does branch before secretory portion.
Classifying Glands by Type of Secretions
3 types:
• • • Small portions of cells • in secretions• No loss of cytoplasm Ex. – mammary glands
in secretions• Ex. – pancreas
Classifying by Secretions
• Secretions w/entire cells filled w/secretoryproducts; ex. – sebaceous (oil) glands
Connective Tissue
Functions
1. connects 2. supports 3. protects 4. provides framework 5. fills spaces
Functions
6. stores fat 7. produces blood cells 8. protects against infection 9. transports nutrients 10.helps repair damaged tissue
Characteristics
1. Consists of cells in a matrix (intercellular material)
2. Cells some distance apart 3. Most can divide 4. Good blood supply
Types of Fibers:
1. collagenous – composed of collagen (protein); have great tensile strength; slightly elastic; compose bones, tendons & ligaments
Types of Fibers - continued
elastic – composed of elastin (protein); very elastic but weaker; compose vocal cords & air passages of lungs
Types of Fibers - continued
Reticular – composed of very fine collagenous fibers.
Form support network.
Types of Cells
1. Fixed cells – stay in one place & have stable numbers; 2 types:
fibroblasts – large & star-shaped; most prevalent
Types of Cells - continued
mast cells – may release heparin (for blood clotting) & histamines (promotes allergic reactions & inflammation); usually located near blood vessel walls
Types of Cells - continued
2. Wandering cells – macrophages –
travel through body; numbers change in response to infection; scavengers
(Purple cells – macrophages, Green cells – T-lymphocytes)
Examples of Connective Tissue
Areolar tissue- binds the skin to underlying organs and under epithelium to provide bloodflow. Binds and protects. A- fibroblast, B-collagen, C- elastin
Adipose tissue- connective tissue composed of fats, cushion joints and provide insulation. A- nuclei, B- fat globules
Regular dense connective- strong fibers bind body parts together. Found in ligaments and tendons. Poor blood supply so slow healing. A- fibroblasts. B- collagen and elastin
Irregular dense connective- disorganized and strong. Found in the dermis
Hyaline cartilage- Most common, found on ends of bones, nose cavity and supporting rings of resp. system. A- chondrocytes, B- Matrix (fine collagen fibers), C- Lacunae
Fibrocartilage- tough tissue containing collagenous fibers. Shock absorbers between vertebrae and pubic girdle. A- Chondrocyte, B- Collagen fibers
Elastic cartilage- flexible cartilage make up ears and larynx. Used for flexible support. A- chondrocytes, B- elastin, C- Lacunae
Blood – platelets, found in plasma. Used for blood clotting
Blood – red cells & white cellRed- used for transport, white- immunity
Elastic connective- allows for stretching, found in attachments between vertebrae. A- elastic fibers
Reticular connective- walls of liver and spleen. Used for support.
Bone- A- central canal (contains blood vessels) B- Canaliculi- minute tubes allow for movement between cells.
Bone- D- Lamellae (layers of osetocytes), C- osteocytes (Bone Cells)
Muscle & Nerve Tissue
Muscle Tissue
3 types: Skeletal- Attached to bone and
controlled by conscious effort (Voluntary). Used for movement Striated Long and thin with multiple nuclei
Muscle Tissue Cont.
Smooth- lacks striations found in skeletal, used for involuntary movements Ex- move food through digestive tract
Cardiac- striated muscle found only in the heart At intercellular junction contain
intercalated discs. Allows for heart to contract as one unit
3 Types of Muscle Tissue
Smooth muscle- B- nucleus
Skeletal muscle- A- striations, B- nucleus
Cardiac muscle- A- Intercalated discs, B- cell
Nervous Tissue
• Found in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
• Cells called neurons– Responsible for transmitting nervous impulses
to muscles and glands.• Also include neuroglia cells (support cells)
– Support the function of the neurons
Nerve tissue – A- neuron, B- Axon, C- neuroglia
