Types of Tissues

• Tissues: Groups of cells that are similar to one another in structure and function

• Histology: Study of tissues• Four major types of tissues– Epithelial– Connective– Nervous– Muscular


reserved.3

Epithelial Tissue Functions

• Protection• Absorption• Filtration• Secretion• Transportation


reserved.4

Traits of Epithelial Tissue


reserved.5

• Forms continuous sheets, like floor tiles

• Outer surface unattached• Undersurface attached to

basement membrane• Avascular• Well-nourished,

regenerates quickly

Types of Epithelial Tissue

• Classification according to shape– Squamous– Cuboidal– Columnar


reserved.6

Layers of Epithelial Tissue


reserved..

7

• Classified according to number of layers– Simple epithelium– Stratified epithelium

• Classified according to number of layers– Simple epithelium– Stratified epithelium

Location of Epithelial Tissues


reserved.8

Glandular Epithelia

• Exocrine glands• Endocrine glands


reserved.9

Lesson 6-2 Objectives

• Describe the functions of connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

• List the types of epithelial and connective tissue membranes.

• Differentiate between mucous and serous membranes.


reserved.10

Functions of Connective Tissue

• Connection• Support• Protection• Fat storage• Transportation


reserved.11

Characteristics of Connective Tissue

• Intercellular matrix – Abundant– Varies from liquid to hard

• Most is well vascularized.– Exceptions: Tendons, ligaments, and cartilage

• Presence and amount of protein fibers vary.– Collagen– Elastin– Reticular fibers (fine collagen)


reserved.12

Types of Connective Tissue

• Loose– Areolar, adipose, reticular

• Dense fibrous• Cartilage– Hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic

• Bone• Blood and lymph


reserved.13

Locations of Connective Tissue


reserved.14

Nervous Tissue

• Makes up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

• Two types of cells– Neurons– Neuroglia


reserved.15

Muscle Tissue

• Composed of cells (fibers) that contract to cause movement of a body part.

• Three types of muscle– Skeletal muscle– Smooth muscle– Cardiac muscle


reserved.16

Locations of Muscle Tissue

17

Tissue Repair

• Regeneration: Replacement of tissue via mitosis

• Fibrosis: Replacement of injured tissue with fibrous connective tissue (scar tissue)

• Keloid scarring: Excessive fibrosis


reserved.18

Steps in Tissue Repair

1. Wound2. Clot and scab3. Tissue repair begins4. Scar tissue forms5. Epithelial cells

multiply6. Scab detaches


reserved.19

Membranes

• Thin sheets of tissue that – Cover surfaces– Line body cavities– Surround organs

• Classification of membranes– Epithelial– Connective


reserved.20

Cutaneous Membrane: Skin


reserved.21

Connective Tissue Membranes

• Synovial (lines joints)• Periosteum (lines bones)• Perichondrium (lines cartilage)• Meninges (lines central nervous system)• Fascia (found throughout the body)


reserved.22

Mucous Membranes

• Line all body cavities that open to the exterior of the body– Respiratory– Digestive– Urinary– Reproductive


reserved.23

Serous Membranes

• Line ventral body cavities that do not open to the exterior

• Pleura– Parietal and visceral

• Pericardium• Peritoneum– Parietal and visceral
