Four Types of Tissues

Tissues are collections of cells and cell

products that perform specific, limited

functions

Types of tissue

Epithelial tissue

Covers exposed surfaces

Epithelial Tissues

Cell Junctions

Occluding (Tight) junctions—between two plasma

membranes

– through ducts

Mechanisms of Glandular Secretion

04GlandularSecr_NA_SWF.html



Modes of Secretion in Glandular Epithelia

Merocrine secretion

Is produced in Golgi apparatus

Is released by vesicles (exocytosis)

For example, sweat glands

Apocrine secretion

Is produced in Golgi apparatus

Is released by shedding cytoplasm

For example, mammary gland

Holocrine secretion

Is released by cells bursting, killing gland cells

Gland cells replaced by stem cells

For example, sebaceous gland

exocrine glands:

» scattered among epithelia

» for example, in intestinal lining



Glandular Epithelia

Gland structure

Multicellular glands:

– structure of the duct:

» simple (undivided)

» compound (divided)

– shape of secretory portion of the gland:

» tubular (tube shaped)

» alveolar or acinar (blind pockets)

– relationship between ducts and glandular areas:

» branched (several secretory areas sharing one duct)

Tissue Injuries and Repair

Tissues respond to injuries to maintain

homeostasis

Cells restore homeostasis with two processes

Inflammation

Regeneration



Inflammation = inflammatory response

The tissue’s first response to injury

Signs and symptoms of the inflammatory

response include

Swelling

Redness

Heat

Pain



Inflammatory Response

Can be triggered by

Trauma (physical injury)

Infection (the presence of harmful pathogens)



The Process of Inflammation

Damaged cells release chemical signals into the

surrounding interstitial fluid

Prostaglandins

Proteins

Potassium ions

As cells break down

Lysosomes release enzymes

That destroy the injured cell

And attack surrounding tissues

Tissue destruction is called necrosis




Necrotic tissues and cellular debris (pus) accumulate

in the wound

Abscess:

– pus trapped in an enclosed area

Injury stimulates mast cells to release

Histamine

Heparin

Prostaglandins




Dilation of blood vessels

Increases blood circulation in the area

Causes warmth and redness

Brings more nutrients and oxygen to the area

Removes wastes

Plasma diffuses into the area

Causing swelling and pain

Phagocytic white blood cells

Clean up the area



Figure 4–20 An Introduction to Inflammation.



Regeneration

When the injury or infection is cleaned up

Healing (regeneration) begins



The Process of Regeneration

Fibrocytes move into necrotic area

Lay down collagen fibers

To bind the area together (scar tissue)

New cells migrate into area

Or are produced by mesenchymal stem cells

Not all tissues can regenerate

Epithelia and connective tissues regenerate well

Cardiac cells and neurons do not regenerate (or regenerate

poorly)


Aging and Tissue

Aging and Tissue Structure

Speed and efficiency of tissue repair

decreases with age, due to

Slower rate of energy consumption (metabolism)

Hormonal alterations

Reduced physical activity


Aging and Tissue

Effects of Aging

Chemical and structural tissue changes

Thinning epithelia and connective tissues

Increased bruising and bone brittleness

Joint pain and broken bones

Cardiovascular disease

Mental deterioration


Aging and Tissue

Aging and Cancer Incidence

Cancer rates increase with age

1 in 4 people in the United States develops cancer

Cancer is the #2 cause of death in the United

States

Environmental chemicals and cigarette smoke

cause cancer
