I. OUTLINE v Epithelial Tissue is commonly named Epithelium: In Greek ("epi") means "on" or "upon", and ("thēlē") means "nipple“ v Epithelium: is made up of cells closely packed v and ranged in one or more layers; forms the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces, as well as cavitys and lumen of organs.
1. Construction features Ø have more cells(arranged tightly), Øonly a small amount of intercellular substance, Øranged in one or more layers; Free (apical) surface –apical pole Ø the cell have polarity Basal surface -basal pole basement membrane: provides structural support for the epithelium and also binds it to neighbouring structures. Øno blood vessels-avascular: nutrients and precursors of products of the epithelial cells diffuse across BM and are taken up through the baso-lateral surface of the epithelial cells through the basement membrane Ørich in nerve endings: conea, epidermis 2. Distribution features line cavities and surfaces of structures throughout body surface-covering ep. inner surface of various kinds of tubes, cavities and sacs
3. Classification A. lining epithelium (covering epi. ): lines both the outside (skin) and the inside cavities and lumen of bodies. B. glandular epithelium myoepithelium C. special epithelium 4. Function germinal epi. sensory epi. protection: physical / chemical / microorganism /desiccation secretion: mainly for glandular epi. absorption: small intestine / renal tubule excretion: sweat gland / renal tubule others: Sensation/ produce germinal cells, transcellular transport
II. Covering epithelium 1. Principles of classification: Tissues are generally classified by the morphology of their cells, and the number of layers they are composed of.
Simple epi. Stratified epi.
2. Classification & structure Simple epi. s. squamous epi. s. cuboidal epi. s. columnar epi. pseudostratified ciliated columnar epi. st. squamous epi. Stratified epi. st. columnar epi. transitional epi.
A. simple squamous epithelium v v Top view: scales-like; have an irregular shape with a serrated border side view: flat
Location: Endothelium: inner lining of blood vessels, heart, and lymphatic vessels Mesothelium: walls of pericardia, pleura, and peritoneal cavities, secrete a lubricating fluid, called serous['sɪrəs] fluid Others: walls of alveoli of the lungs , parietal [pə'raɪətəl] layer of Bowman's capsule some renal tubule
alveoli of the lungs
parietal layer visceral layer Renal Corpuscle: Note the flattened cells of the parietal layer of Bowman's capsule.
B. Simple cuboidal epithelium v v Top view: hexagonal; side view: square Location: thyroid follicles; renal tubules
C. Simple columnar epithelium Top view: polygonal [pə'lɪɡənl] ; side: column-like, prismatic form Special structure: striated ['straɪeɪtɪd] border, brush-like border Cytoplasmic projections Location: gastrointestinal tract; gall bladder; uterus
D. Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium Taller simple epithelial cells (see columnar, below) are viewed in cross section with several nuclei appearing at different heights, they can be confused with stratified epithelia. This kind of epithelium is therefore described as "pseudostratified" epithelium. fusiform cell pyramidal cell Ø 4 types of ell, Nu. at different levels

III. Glandular epithelium & gland 1. Definition Ø Glandular epithelia. : The epithelia specialized for secretion Ø Glands: The organs composed mainly of glandular epi. 2. Classification Ø Exocrine gland Ø Endocrine gland
3. Development Derived from the localized covering epithelium retain obliterate The agglomerated cells form anastomosing cords interspersed between dilated blood capillaries. The others, cells line a vesicle or follicle filled with noncellular material.
4. Exocrine gland v Classification:Depend on number of cells Unicellular glands: goblet cell Multicellular glands secretory unit duct system

5. Endocrine gland Consist of endocrine cells; the secretions (hormone) enter bloodstream directly. To be discussed more detail late.
IV. Special structure of epithelium 1. Cellular free surface cell coat microvillus cilium A. Cell coat: extracellular glycoprotein layer
B. Microvilli LM: striated borders brush-like borders EM: finger-like projections (cell -membrane & cytoplasm) (0. 1/1. 4 μm) microfilaments (actin filaments): interconnect terminal web Function: increase the surface area of absorption
Cell coat Electron micrograph of the apical region of an intestinal epithelial cell. Note the terminal web composed of a horizontal network that contains mainly actin microfilaments. The vertical microfilaments that constitute the core of the microvilli are clearly seen. An extracellular cell coat (glycocalyx) ['glaɪkoʊ'kælɪks] is bound to the plasmalemma of the microvilli. x 45, 000.
