Tissues
• Groups of cells similar in structure and function• Each tissue is then further subdivided into
categories.• All organs are made of a combination of
different tissues.• The four types of tissues
• Epithelial• Connective• Muscle• Nerve
3
Epithelial TissueDistinguishing Characteristics
1. Cellularity: Composed almost entirely of cells2. Polarity: apical and basal surfaces (top and a
bottom)3. Attachment: Supported by connective tissue
(basement membrane)4. Avascular: Contains no blood vessels: obtains
nutrients by diffusion 5. Regeneration: Rapidly replaces lost cells by
cell division
4
Classification of Epithelia
1. First name:• Simple: one layer• Stratified: more than one layer
2. Second name:• Based on the shape of the top layer of cells
• Squamous (flat)• Cuboidal (square)• Columnar (rectangle)
3. Two additional categories• Transitional• Pseudostratified
5
Classification of Epithelia
6
Classification of Epithelia
• Squamous
• Cuboidal
• Columnar
7

Simple Squamous Epithelium
• Functions: 1. Diffusion
• Alveoli in the respiratory system allows for exchange of O2 and CO2
2. Filtration• Capillaries allow fluid and other substances
out and holds blood cells and proteins in
3. Lubrication• Secretes lubricating substances in serosae
12
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
• Single layer of cube like cells with large, spherical central nuclei

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
• Functions:1. Secretion
• Glands such as the thyroid are composed of simple cuboidal epithelium and secrete hormones ect…
2. Absorption• In the kidney, the proximal convoluted
tubule is composed of simple cuboidal epithelium and reabsorbs water and other nutrients from the filtered fluid
16
Simple Columnar Epithelium
• Single layer of tall cells with oval nuclei toward the basal surface
• Goblet cells are often found in this layer

Simple Columnar Epithelium
• Functions
1. Secretion• Example: In the stomach, these cells
secrete digestive enzymes
2. Absorption• Example: In the intestine, these cells
absorb nutrients
20
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
• Single layer of cells with different heights; some do not reach the free surface
• Nuclei are seen at different levels• May be ciliated (PCCE) or non-ciliated
21
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
22
Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated Epithelium (PCCE)
23
Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated Epithelium (PCCE)
• Functions
1. Protection• Example: Lines the upper respiratory tract.
The cilia sweep debris toward the throat
2. Secretion• Example: May contain goblet cells
(unicellular glands) that secrete mucus
24
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
• Composed of several layers of cells• Top layer flat• Bottom layers any shape
• Function in protection of underlying areas subjected to abrasion
25
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
•Non-keratinized
•Composed of several layers of cells
•Top layer flat
•Bottom layers any shape
26
Stratified Squamous EpitheliumNon-Keratinized
27
Stratified Squamous EpitheliumNon-Keratinized
• Functions1. Physical protection against abrasion and
pathogens• Non-Keratinized is associated with “moist”
areas• Mouth• Throat• Esophagus• Anus• Vagina
28
Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized
Looks “flakey” on the top
29
Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized
30
Stratified Squamous EpitheliumKeratinized
• Functions
1. Physical Protection• Found only in the epidermis of the skin• Keratin is a protein that helps strengthen
the cells against abrasion
31
Transitional Epithelium
• Several cell layers, basal cells are cuboidal• Apical cells are dome shaped when not
stretched• Apical cells are flat when stretched• Only found in Urinary System• Functions:
1. Allows expansion and recoil after stretching
32
Transitional Epithelium
Distended bladder Empty bladder
33
Stratified Cuboidal and Columnar
• Typically two cell layers thick• Rare
• Functions:1. Secretion
• Found in some sweat and mammary glands
34
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

36
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
• Limited distribution in the body• To tell the difference between this and
pseudostratified columnar, look at the nucleus.• The nuclei are lined up in a straight row
• Function1. Protection
• Found in the pharynx, male urethra, lining some glandular ducts, and anus

Connective Tissue
• 4 Types
1. Connective Tissue Proper
2. Bone
3. Blood
4. Cartilage
40
Connective Tissue Features
1. Specialized cells2. Matrix: Nonliving material between the cells
that makes up most of the volume (ground substance + fibers)
• Extracellular fibers• Ground substance: Composed chiefly of
interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans• Specific composition varies between
tissues (Blood=fluid, Cartilage=gel like, Bone=Solid)
41
Connective Tissue Fibers
• Collagen Fibers: Fibrous protein molecules • Extremely tough • High tensile strength• Strongest type of fibers in connective
tissue.
42
Connective Tissue Fibers
• Elastic Fibers: Form branching networks • Elastin: a rubber like protein that allow it to act like
a rubber band and snap back to its original shape after it is stretched
• Reticular Fibers: Forming delicate networks• Fine collagenous fibers (with a different
chemical structure) branch extensively• Surround small blood vessels and
support soft tissue organs
43
Cells of Connective Tissue Proper
1. Fibroblasts: Secrete the matrix
2. Macrophages: Scavenger cells that engulf pathogens or damaged cells
3. Adipocytes: Fat cells
4. Mesenchymal Cells: Stem cells
5. Mast cells: Stimulate local inflammation: contain histamine and heparin
6. Lymphocytes/microphages: WBC involved in immunity
