Name Four Types of Tissue (and what they do)
C- Connective tissue (connect)

EPITHELIAL TISSUE
- General Characteristics
- General Functions

- Simple Columnar epithelium: inner lining of digestive tract
Stratified squamous epithelium: Epidermis of skin
Transitional epithelium: inner lining of the urinary bladder
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- General Characteristics
- General Functions
- Primary Germ Layer Derivative
- Examples/Locations

- Protects, binds together, and supports organs
- Mesoderm
- Adipose connective tissue: Fat
Dense regular connective tissue: Ligaments and tendons
Dense irregular connective tissue: Dermis of skin
Hyaline Cartilage: Articular cartilage in some joints
Fluid connective tissue: Blood
MUSCLE TISSUE
- General Characteristics
- General Functions
- Primary Germ Layer Derivative
- Examples/Locations
- Contractile: receives stimulation from nervous system and/or endocrine system
- Facilitates movement of skeleton or organ walls
- Mesoderm
- Skeletal muscle: muscles attached to bones
Cardiac muscle: muscle layer in heart
Smooth Muscle: muscle layers in digestive tract
NERVOUS TISSUE
- General Characteristics
- General Functions
- Primary Germ Layer Derivative

Glial cells: support and protect neurons
- Ectoderm
- Neurons: Brain and spinal cord
Glial cells: Brain and spinal cord
Epithelial Tissue (Functions):
A Barrier between two compartments having different components
Name Some Functions (4):
- Physical protection
- selective permeability
- secretion
- sensation
Epithelial Tissue (Characteristics)
- Cellularity
- Polarity (top & bottom layer?)
- Attachment
- Avascular
- Innervated
- Regenerative
- Minimal amounts of ECF
- Defined apical (top) and basal (bottom) layers
- Basal layer bound to basement of membrane
- Contains no blood vessels | receive nutrients from underlying connective tissues | Epithelia that are far from CT will die
- contain nerve endings
- calls replaced at a high rate via mitosis
Intercellular Junctions (Epithelial):
1. Tight Junctions
2. Adhering Junctions
3. Desmosomes
4. Gap Junctions
- continuous sealed plasma membranes near apical surface
- typically located deep to tight junctions
- provides resistance at a single stress point
- direct passageway for small molecules to travel between cells.
Naming Epithelial Tissue
- First name refers to # of cells
- Second name refers to shape of cells

FIRST NAME
1. Simple
2. Stratified
3. Pseudostratified

SECOND NAME
1. Squamous
2. Cuboidal
3. Columnar
FIRST NAME
1. 1 layer
2. more than 1 layer
3. 1 layer thick, but looks like two ("fake")

SECOND NAME
1. flat
2. cube
3. columns
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Diffusion and filtration
- Air sacs (alveoli) and lining of blood vessels (capillaries)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- absorption and secretion
- Thyroid gland, kidney tubules, most glands, ovary
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Other
- apsorption, secretion, movement
- lining of digestive tract, stomach, respiratory tract, and uterine tubes
- ciliated or non-ciliated (little hairs)
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Other
- Protection
- lining of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, vagina, anus, epidermis of skin
- keratinized and nonkeratinized
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Protection and secretion
- Exocrine glands and male urethra
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Protection and secretion
- Rare, found in some glands and the male urethra
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Protection and movement
- Respiratory tract, epididymis, male urethra
Transitional Epithelium
- Function
- Location
- Distention and relaxation of urinary structures
- ureters, bladder, urethra
Glands
- Exocrine
- Endocrine
EXO:
- ducts secrete material onto an epithelial surface
- can be both unicellular and multicellular

ENDO:
- ductless
- secrete products into interstitial fluid and bloodstream
Secretion Methods (glands)
1. Merocrine glands (method & examples)
2. Holocrine glands (oil) (method & examples)
3. Apocrine glands (breast milk, smelly sweat - method & examples)
M:
- package secretions into secretory vesicles
- lacrimal (sweat), salivary, gastric, pancreatic, and eccrine sweat glands

H:
- cells accumulate a product and the entire cell disintegrates
- Sebaceous glands

A:
- cells accumulate product and secrete by decapitation
- Mammary and apocrine sweat glands
Common Origin of Connective Tissue?
Mesenchyme
4 Types of Connective Tissue
- Blood
- Bone
- Connective Tissue Proper
- Cartilage
Connective Tissues: Functions
- Physical Protection (Bone Cartilage)
- Support and structural framework (bone)
- Binding of structures (CT Proper, cartilage)
- Storage (bone)
- Transport (blood)
- immune protection (blood)
-
Characteristics of Connective Tissue

1. Cells
- types (where)
- orientation
- position in ECM

2. Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
- Protein Fibers (function and make-up)
- Ground Substance (make-up)
C:
-Fibroblasts, adipocytes, osteocytes, erythrocytes, chondrocytes, etc.
- cells are not in direct contact with each other
- cells float in ECM (non-living tissue)

ECM:
