collection of specialized cells and cell products which perform a limited number of functions

4 types
tissue
study of tissue
histology
what are the 4 types of tissue?
1. epithelial
2. connective
3. muscle
4. neural
this tissue includes epithelia and glands
epithelial tissue
layer of cells that cover exposed surface or lines internal cavity

- composed of closely bound cells by cell junctions
-has an exposed surface and a surface attached to underlying tissue
- attached to basement membrane
- does not contain blood vessels
- continually replaced
epithelium
the exposed surface of the epithelium
apical surface
the side of epithelium attached to underlying tissue
basal surface
term for " does not contain blood vessels"
avascular
what are the 4 functions of the epithelium?
1. provide protection
2. control permeability
3. provides sensations (detects changes in the environment and sends information to nervous system)
4. produces specialized secretions- glandular cells
long microvilli
sterocilia
what are the 3 specialized functions of epithelium
1. production of secretions by organelles
2. exposed surface of cell
3. movement of fluids over surface
the epithelium actually attached to this
basal laminae
this gives strength to epithelium
reticular laminae
what does maintenance and repair of the epithelium depend on?
stem or germ cells present
what are the 2 types of epithelium?
1. simple
2. stratified
this kind of epithelium has one layer
simple
this kind of epithelium has several layers above basement membrane
stratified
this type of epithelia is...

- cells thin, flat, and irregular in shape
- in alveoli of lungs
-serous lining of body cavities and on surface of organs - mesothelium
- lines inner surface of vessels- endothelium
simple squamos
this type of epithelium is on surface where there is stress...

keratinized vs. nonkeratinized

- surface of skin
-oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus
- rectur and anus
- vagina
stratified squamous
this type of epithelium appear square in shape.
cuboidal epithelia
this kind of epithelium occurs in regions of secretion and absorption
- kidney tubules
-pancreas: secretion
-salivary glands
- thyroid glands
-lines ducts of salivary glands
simple cuboidal
this kind of epithelium is rare
- in ducts of sweat glands
- large ducts of exocrine glands
- mammary glands
stratified cuboidal
this kind of epithelium permits stretching
-renal pelvis
- ureter
-urinary bladder
transitional
this kind of epithelium has a height greather than width
columnar epithelia
this kind of epithelium lines stomach and intestinal tract
-lines uterus
- excretory ducts
- gall bladder
simple columnar
this kind of epithelius is rare and is located in
- pharynx
-urethra
-anus
-excretory ducts
stratified columnar
this kind of epithelium is found in respiratory epithelium
- has cilia
-in nasal cavity
-trachea
-bronchi
- parts of male reproduction tract
- all cells in contact with basal membrane but do not all reach the surface
pseudostratified columnar
this type of glandular epithelium secretes onto the epithelial surface through ducts
exocrine system
this glandular epithelium secretes watery solutions
serous
this glandular epithelium secretes mucus
mucous
this glandular epithelium contains both mucous and serous elements
mixed
this structure of the exocrine gland is scattered in trachea, small and large intestines
unicellular glands-- goblet cells-- mucus
this structure of exocrine glands is located in the stomach as secretory sheet
multicellular exocrine gland
what are the 2 epithelial parts of multicellular exocrine glands?
secretory part and duct part
how are the multicellular exocrine glands organized?
1. tubular
2. alveolar- acinar
3. tuboloalveolar
what are the 2 ways ducts are organized?
1. simple (no branching)
2. compound (numerous branching)
