EPITHELIAL TISSUE: singular?
EPITHELIUM
EPITHELIAL TISSUES: plural?
EPITHELIA
A. sheets of tissue which are cell-rich, matrix-poor
B. cells are tightly connected to neighbor cells
EPITHELIAL TISSUES
this family of tissue is found on surfaces next to openness as
coverings (for external surfaces) or linings (for internal surfaces)
EPITHELIAL TISSUES
the tissue has an apical surface which is exposed and a basal surface, which is
bound to underlying connective tissue by a basement membrane
EPITHELIAL TISSUES
E. the basement membrane =
basal lamina (glycoproteins made by epithelia)
+
reticular lamina (glycoproteins + fine fibers made by C.T.)
F. epithelial tissues have no blood vessels (avascularity), but do have nerves (innervation)
EPITHELIAL TISSUES
if damaged, this sheet-like family of tissues can heal by mitosis
singular plural
EPITHELIAL TISSUES
layer complexity: __&__
simple or stratified
cell shape__&__&__
squamous or cuboidal or columnar
1. thin, flat, irregularly-shaped cells
2. sheet of tissue is thinnest sheet possible
3. usual function = filter or exchange membrane
Simple Squamous Epithelium
known as ___when found in capillary walls and lining larger blood vessels
ENDOTHELIUM
"filter" in kidney
Simple Squamous Epithelium
known as ___when found in pericardial, pleural and peritoneal membranes
MESOTHELIUM
alveoli of lungs
simple squamous epithilium
1. cells are square when cut top to bottom
2. cells are hexagonal when viewed from surface
3. usual function = secretion
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
specific locations:
a) most glands
b) surface of ovary
c) kidney tubules
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
1. cells are columns when cut top to bottom
2. occasional cells specialized to be GOBLET CELLS which produce mucus
3. usual function = complex absorption or secretion
Simple Columnar Epithelium
specific locations:
a) lining stomach
b) lining small intestine
c) lining Fallopian tubes
Simple Columnar Epithelium
specific locations:
a) surface of skin - see surface of figure 5.1
b) lining of oral cavity and esophagus --see figure 23.12
c) lining of vagina
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
1. surface cells are thin and flat (squamous)
2. lower layers of cells thicker (more cuboidal)
3. cells produced near basement membrane by mitosis and bump up .
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
4. usual function = protection against abrasion
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
1. surface layer of cells are dome-shaped and may have two nuclei
2. lower layers of cells are vary in shape between cuboidal and columnar
Transitional Epithelium

proteoglycans
Fibers come in three common varieties ...
1) collagen fiber

tissues. They can hold body structures up and fight gravity.
