Classification of Tissues

Martini Chapter 4

Portland Community CollegeBI 231

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

Epithelial Tissue

Distinguishing Characteristics

1. Cellularity: Composed almost entirely of cells

2. 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

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

Classification of Epithelia

• Squamous

• Cuboidal

• Columnar

Simple Squamous Epithelium

• Single layer of flattened cells with disc-

shaped nuclei and sparse cytoplasm

• Top View

• 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

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

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

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

Epithelium

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

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

Stratified Squamous

Epithelium

•Non-keratinized

•Composed of several

layers of cells

•Top layer flat

•Bottom layers any

Non-Keratinized

• Functions

1. Physical protection against abrasion and pathogens

• Non-Keratinized is associated with “moist” areas

• Mouth

• Throat

• Esophagus

• Anus

• Vagina

Keratinized

“flakey” on

the top

Keratinized

• Functions

1. Physical Protection

• Found only in the epidermis of the skin

• Keratin is a protein that helps strengthen

the cells against abrasion

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

Transitional Epithelium

Distended bladder Empty bladder

Stratified Cuboidal and Columnar

• Typically two cell layers thick

• Rare

• Functions:1. Secretion

• Found in some sweat and mammary glands

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

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

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Connective Tissue

• 4 Types

1. Connective Tissue Proper

2. Bone

3. Blood

4. Cartilage

Connective Tissue Features

1. Specialized cells

2. 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)

Connective Tissue Fibers

• Collagen Fibers: Fibrous protein

molecules

• Extremely tough

• High tensile strength

• Strongest type of fibers in connective

tissue.

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

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

Areolar Connective Tissue (Loose)

1. Wraps and cushions organs

2. Holds and conveys tissue fluid
