Four main categories of tissues:
1. Epithelial tissue
2. Connective tissue
3. Nervous Tissue
4. Muscle Tissue
What are Epithelial Tissue?
sheets of tightly packed cells covers the outside of your body (skin) and lines the organs and cavities w/in the body
What is the function of Epithelial Tissue?
*barrier protecting against injury, invasive microorganisms, and fluid loss.

*controls secretion/absorption of molecules
most cancers cells are derived from _____
epithelial cells
[Epithelial tissue] What is the Barrier function?
important for cell-cell interactions.

**cells form a barriers and allow only certain cells through
the Barrier is composed of two components: ___ and ___
1. Tight junction = form seal
2. Adherance Junction = give adhension
These two junctions are made of _____
multiple proteins complexes

**need both for barriers to work
Dysfunction of tight junctions can causes serveral diseases in the intestinal tract. Give some examples:
**Crohn's disease (intestinal tract)
**Multiple Organ Dysfunction
**glaucoma
free surface epithelia tissue exposed to the environment are attached to a _____
basement membrane
shape of epithelial tissue plays an important role in ____ and ____
secretion and absorption
name 3 cell shape of epithelia tissue
1. Cuboidal (round dishes)
2. Columnar (large cytoplasm)
3. Squamous (flat tile)
these cell shapes come together by layer what are these layer called?
*simple-- one cell layer
*stratified-- greater than one cell layer
*pseudostratified-- one cell layer, but looks like more
[give the function of these epithelial shpae]

Simple squamous epithelia

do they form tight or adherence junction
thin and leaky, molecule exchange such as blood vessel

*do not form tight junction or adherence junction
example: capillaries
stratified squamous epithelia
many layers that regenerate at basement membrane and sloughed (shed) off at free end- skin

example: skin
**want to be a little bit leaky, but still want some strength
**made of stratified squamous cell for abrasion
Columnar epithelia

Do they form TJ or AJ
large cytoplasmic volumes--- secretes and/or absorption

**form tight junction and adherence junction
Simple columnar epithelia (give an example)
intestines
Pseudo-stratified columnar (give an example)
line nasal passages
stratified columnar epithelia (give example)
line inner surface of urinary bladder
Cuboidal epithelia (what is the function)
specialized for secretion--- mammary gland, kidney, and hormone producing glands
[CONNECTIVE TISSUE]
what is the the function of CT?
binds and supports other tissues

*cell produce Etracellular matrix (ECM)
[CT] Bone

Give:
1. ECM
2. Cell types
1. Matrix-- solid
2. bone is made by cells called osteoblasts (secretes CA phosphate)

note: cartilage is made of cells called chrontrocyte
[CT] Fat droplet

Give:
1. ECM
2. Cell types
1. matrix: jelly like
2. made of adipose (adipocyte) cells (responsible for the production and storage of fat)
[CT] Plasma of blood

Give:
1. ECM
2. Cell types
1. matrix: liquid
2. made of blood cell
Another catagory of connective tissue is called _____
loose connective tissue (which is made of fibers)
what is fibroblasts
make fibers
what are the 3 connective tissues fibers
1. Collagen fibers, Elastic fibers, and Reticular fibers
collagen fibers
**important strength
**nonelastic
**does not easily tear
Elastic fibers
**long threads
**provides a rubbery quality
*provide flexibility
Reticular fibers
**collagen
**thin and branched
**connect to collagenous fibers
**x-link
what are the purpose of these three fibers?
keeps organ in place and connect tissue
what are fibrous connective tissue
a form of connective tissue made of collgen fibers
**ligaments = attach bones at joints
**tendon = attach muscles to bone
[NERVOUS TISSUE] what is the function of nervous tissue?
senses stimul and transmits signals throughout the organism
Neroun-nerve cell contains three parts:
a cell body, dendrites, and axon
cell body
where the nucleus and cellular organelles are located
dendrites which are processes extending rom the cell body that receive ______
stimuli from the environment or other neurons
axon
transmission of nerve impulses to other cells
the interaction of the end bulb (part of the axon) w/ the adjacent cell forms a structure called a _____
snapse<BR><BR>**junction b/w neuron and effector/target cell
synapses are specialized to _____ and convert it into an _______
**specialized to recieve a signal

**electrical potential
Signal comes through ____ and out going is through an ____. this signal is called ____
dendrites
axon
Action Potential
what is Action Potential?
a temporily ion flux

Na+ ---> in
K ---> out

*Na+ and K gets transfer along plasma membran that allow nerve cells to emit a signal when its stimulated
[MUSSCLE TISSUE] name the three types of muscle tissue in vertebrates:
1. Skeletal muscle
2. cardiac muscle
3. smooth muscle
[MUSSCLE TISSUE] name the three types of muscle tissue in vertebrates:
1. Skeletal muscle
2. cardiac muscle
3. smooth muscle
skeletal muscle
**voluntary movements of body
**striated muscle-- which is due to overlapping of filaments
skeletal muscle
**voluntary movements of body
**striated muscle-- which is due to overlapping of filaments
cardiac muscle
**striated
**branched cells
**non voluntary (heart)
**can beat and move
cardiac muscle
**striated
**branched cells
**non voluntary (heart)
**can beat and move
smooth muscle
**lacks striations
**involuntary body activities

locations: walls of digestive tract, bladder, arteries, and other organs
[Organs: organization of different tissue types] Consider a cross section of the stomach wall: give the layer of the stomach lining. Starts from inner (lumen of stomach) to outer (exterior of stomach wall)
