DO NOW: Analyze and fill in the blanks. AIM: Why is epithelial tissue important and how is it classified? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tissues • Groups of cells similar in structure and function • Types of tissues • Epithelial tissue • Connective tissue • Muscle tissue • Nerve tissue Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Why do we need so many different types of tissues?
Nervous tissue: Internal communication • Brain, spinal cord, and nerves Muscle tissue: Contracts to cause movement • Muscles attached to bones (skeletal) • Muscles of heart (cardiac) • Muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth) Epithelial tissue: Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters • Skin surface (epidermis) • Lining of GI tract organs and other hollow organs Connective tissue: Supports, protects, binds other tissues together • Bones • Tendons • Fat and other soft padding tissue Here’s why! Different Structures/Different Functions. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4. 1
Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium) Definition: a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity Turn and Talk: Analyze the Diagram With your partner, make a prediction about the function of epithelial tissue. Write it in your notebook. (2 min. ) Intestine Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Villi Epithelium
Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium) Functions: 1. Absorption 2. Secretion 3. Protection How does the location of epithelial tissue relate to absorption, secretion and protection? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epithelial Tissue (Epithelium) Two main types (by location): 1. Covering and Lining Epithelia Found on external and internal surfaces 2. Glandular Epithelia Found in secretory tissue in glands – produces secretions Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue Epithelial cells have polarity. What’s up with that! Turn and Talk! You know that some molecules are polar… How can you relate this idea a cell? Be specific and give examples! Write your ideas in your notebook! (2 min. ) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Polarity of Epithelial Cells Apical (upper, free) surface - may have microvilli or cilia Basal (lower, attached) surface Cell Polarity – different regions of an individual cell have different structures and functions. How does cell polarity contribute to the complexity of cellular function? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue Composed of closely packed cells Continuous sheets held together by tight junctions and desmosomes Stop and Think: Where are the apical and basal surfaces of these cells? (30 sec. ) Inside the cavity Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Do Now: List 3 places you can find epithelial tissue. Why will you find it there? Aim: How does the structure of epithelial tissue relate to its function? Pt. 3 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
(a) Simple squamous epithelium Description: Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest of the epithelia. Air sacs of lung tissue Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae. Nuclei of squamous epithelial cells Location: Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae). Photomicrograph: Simple squamous epithelium forming part of the alveolar (air sac) walls (125 x). Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4. 3 a
Epithelia: Simple Squamous • Two other locations • Endothelium • The lining of lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and heart • Mesothelium • The epithelium of serous membranes in the ventral body cavity Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
(b) Simple cuboidal epithelium Description: Single layer of cubelike cells with large, spherical central nuclei. Simple cuboidal epithelial cells Function: Secretion and absorption. Basement membrane Location: Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface. Connective tissue Photomicrograph: Simple cuboidal epithelium in kidney tubules (430 x). Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4. 3 b
(c) Simple columnar epithelium Description: Single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei; some cells bear cilia; layer may contain mucussecreting unicellular glands (goblet cells). Simple columnar epithelial cell Function: Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action. Location: Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus. Basement membrane Photomicrograph: Simple columnar epithelium of the stomach mucosa (860 X). Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4. 3 c
(d) Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Description: Single layer of cells of differing heights, some not reaching the free surface; nuclei seen at different levels; may contain mucussecreting cells and bear cilia. Cilia Mucus of mucous cell Pseudostratified epithelial layer Function: Secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action. Location: Nonciliated type in male’s sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract. Trachea Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Photomicrograph: Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lining the human trachea (570 x). Basement membrane Figure 4. 3 d
(e) Stratified squamous epithelium Description: Thick membrane composed of several cell layers; basal cells are cuboidal or columnar and metabolically active; surface cells are flattened (squamous); in the keratinized type, the surface cells are full of keratin and dead; basal cells are active in mitosis and produce the cells of the more superficial layers. Stratified squamous epithelium Function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion. Nuclei Location: Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane. Basement membrane Connective tissue Photomicrograph: Stratified squamous epithelium lining the esophagus (285 x). Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4. 3 e
Epithelia: Stratified Cuboidal • Quite rare in body • Found in some sweat and mammary glands • Typically two cell layers thick Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epithelia: Stratified Columnar • Limited distribution in body • Small amounts in pharynx, male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts • Also occurs at transition areas between two other types of epithelia Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
(f) Transitional epithelium Description: Resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal; basal cells cuboidal or columnar; surface cells dome shaped or squamouslike, depending on degree of organ stretch. Transitional epithelium Function: Stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine. Location: Lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Basement membrane Connective tissue Photomicrograph: Transitional epithelium lining the urinary bladder, relaxed state (360 X); note the bulbous, or rounded, appearance of the cells at the surface; these cells flatten and become elongated when the bladder is filled with urine.

Glandular Epithelia • A gland is one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid • Classified by: • Site of product release—endocrine or exocrine • Relative number of cells forming the gland— unicellular (e. g. , goblet cells) or multicellular Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Endocrine Glands • Ductless glands • Secrete hormones that travel through lymph or blood to target organs Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Exocrine Glands • More numerous than endocrine glands • Secrete products into ducts • Secretions released onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities • Examples include mucous, sweat, oil, and salivary glands Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Unicellular Exocrine Glands • The only important unicellular gland is the goblet cell Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
