Regeneration of Epithelial cells
Epithelial cells replace damaged or dead cells. Only cells closest to the basal lamina go through mitosis pushing dead or injured cells to the surface. Dead cells protect the rest of the cell layers.
Secretions of epithelial cells
Epithelial tissue may contain glands that produce secretion. (not all)
Transitional tissue 9function and location)
urinary bladder, ureter, urethra. function: stretching for urine.
Pseudostratified cilated columnar tissue. location and function
Trachea, bronchi. Function: protection with cilia to trap particles and move away mucus
Simple Columnar tissue. Location and Function
Stomach, large and small intestines. Kidney tubules. Function: protection with movement
Simple and stratified Cuboidal. Location and function
Thyroid gland, sweat glands, kidney tubules. Function: secretion
Stratified Squamous. Location and function
Epidermis, Esophagus, anal canal, vagina
Simple squamous. Location and function
lungs, blood vessels(lining), kindey glomerus. Function: easy transportation
Gross Anatomy
The structures you are studying are big enough to see with the naked eye.
Systems approach
Looking at one system at a time.
tissue
Grouping of cells similar and part of a unit.
endocrine glands
no excretory duct
multicellular glands
consist of endocrine and exocrine glands.
general epithelial characteristics (5)
1. All epithelial tissue has a basal lamina.
2. all epithelial tissue with out blood vessels-avascular.
3. all epithelial tissue regenerates new cells.
4. polarity- difference of structure and function between cells.
5. Some epithelial tissues may contain glands that produce secretion.
basal lamina
Basal lamina is a foundation for epithelial tissue between the bottom layer of epithelial tissue and connective tissue. Basal lamina keeps things out and coming in. AKA basement membrane= basal lamina + lamina reticularis. Basal lamina is made up of a secretion of protein and carbs from the epithelial cells.
Connective tissue cells (5)
1. Fibroblast: most common connective tissue cells can become specialized cells. ie, may become osteoblast, changing function based on location.
2. Macrophage cells: Function as phagocytes to get rid of anything in your body no longer wants. ie, dead cells, bacteria.
3. Melanocytes: Produces melanin pigment and can be found in Epithelial tissue.
4. Adipocytes: stores fat
5. Leukocytes: white blood cells, fight infection
General characteristics of connective tissue
1. cell
2. background material
a. ground substance
b. fibers
3. fiber
Connective tissue background material
1. Ground substance: geltin-like
2. matrix: ground substance plus other compounds to make it strong. ie., bone, cartilage only use matrix. added compounds of bone consist of hydroxyapatite, and for cartilage is chondrotin sulfates.
Types of anatomy that require microscopes
-cellular anatomy
-histology (study of tissues)
connective tissue fibers
fibers are proteins produced by cells.
1. collagen
2. elastin
3. reticular
