Attention: **Early unicellular forms evolved into multicellular forms.**Such need to multicellularity is based on:The limited cellular diffusion and transport of nutrients and metabolites.
Levels Of Organization:Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism
Although cells are the ultimate building blocks of the body, these cells are organized into a higher levels of complexity in the formation of tissues.
The result was a maximum limit on cell size followed by many cells working in coorporation with each other, which in due course, led to specialization of
labor and to specialization of cells .
![Page 2: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
•Epithelial tissue •connective tissue (support cells, immune cells, blood cells),
.muscle tissue (contractile cells), and
• nervous tissue.
The four basic tissue types.
Organs represent various combinations of these four basic tissue types, which thus comprise the entire body. Each tissue type retains its fundamental character wherever it occurs.

For example, the stomach:

Epithelial tissue
The boundary between you and your environment is marked by a continuous surface, or epithelium, of contiguous cells.
![Page 5: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Several features characterize epithelial tissue and distinguish it from connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue
• Epithelial tissues are arranged in sheets or layers covering the surfaces or lining the cavities of the body.
• Epithelial cells are attached to one another. Special devices (intercellular junctions, tonofilaments) provide for structural integrity of the epithelium.
• Their cells lack protoplasmic processes except for microvilli.
• Intercellular substance is little and intercellular spaces are small.
![Page 6: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Epithelial tissue lacks a vascular supply• Derived from all three of the embryonic germ layers.• Skin and body opinings ------- ectoderm• Lining of G.T., respiratoty system,and the glands of the
G.T.--------- endoderm • Lining od kidney blood vessels --------mesoderm.
• Epithelial cells are polarized.• Epithelial cells are separated from the underlying
tissue by a basement membrane
![Page 7: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The basement membrane
• is a thin sheet of collagen and glycoproteins produced:
• in part by the epithelial cells themselves and• in part by underlying connective tissue cells
(specifically, fibroblasts).
• The basement membrane serves to regulate cell behavior and can limit the spread of some neoplasms.
![Page 8: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
By Electron microscopy, basement membrane is composed of:
• Amorphous Basal lamina (50 t0 100 nm thick): is a product of epithelial . It is separated from the basal cell membrane by a lucent region of 50 nm
• A Reticular lamina containing reicular and collagenous fibers.
• The basal lamina is seen no only in epithelial tissues but also in smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscle, in addition to fat cells.
![Page 9: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Staining of the basement membrane
• Stains deep black in silver preparations because of the reticular fibers
• Stains red in PAS preparations because of the polysaccharides.
![Page 10: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• It may appear thick such as in trachea, because of the fixed reticular lamina.
• It is very thin beneath transitional epithelium and cannot be observed by light microscope.
• Basement membranes are at best inconspicuous in glomeruli of the kidney.

Classification of the epithelium
I- According to the structure (number of layers of cells rest on the basement membrane):
• Simple epithelium: one layer of cells • Pseudostratified epithelium: one layer
of cells• Stratified epithelium: two or more
layers of cells
![Page 13: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Squamous: from squama, scale • consists of a single, very thin layer of
flattened (squamous) cells.
• Cells are large with clear or granular cytoplasm and round, oval or eccentric nuclei.
• In cross section, the cytoplasm is barely visible
1- Simple squamous epithelium
![Page 16: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Simple squamous epithelium, cheek cells, top veiw. These cells are large, but quite thin, and have a prominent, protruding nucleus. A good analogy
to their shape is the sunny-side-up fried egg.
![Page 17: Levels Of Organization: Cells----- Tissues----- Organs----- Organ Systems---- Organism](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061612/5681344e550346895d9b35c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

2- Simple cuboidal epithelium
• consists of boxy (cuboidal) cells on the surface.
• The cells are smaller and more regular than those of squamous epithelium.
• In vertical section, the cells are square and contain a rounded nucleus
• Locations: lining thyroid follicles, kidney tubules, salivary ducts, pancreatic ducts.

Simple Cuboidal epithelium:1- Cuboidal epithelial cells with eosinophilic (i.e., pink) cytoplasm
belong to the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
• 2- Cuboidal epithelial cells with relatively unstained (i.e, pale) cytoplasm belong to collecting ducts, which are larger than the tubules of the loop of Henle. (t.s in medulla)

Comparison of Duct and Blood Vessels:Simple Cuboidal epithelium is commonly encountered in glandular ducts. Small ducts typically have a simple cuboidal epithelium.
Larger ducts may have a stratified cuboidal epithelium.

• In surface veiw, it appears like cuboidal;• in sections, the cells are taller than board and are
rectangular, with the long axis perependicular to the free surface
• The nucleus is oval and located close to the base , unless the cells are very compressed.
• The free or apical portion may have a plasma membrane covered with mucous, cilia or microvilli.
• lines the digestive tract and the female reproductive tract (as well as numerous other surfaces).

Simple columnar epithelium The epithelial tissue layer of the small intestine contains absorptive cells, which take in nutrients, and goblet cells, which secrete mucus. The epithelial surface forms many small projections, called villi, one of which occupies most of this image.

Ependymal cells: line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord are lined with
The cells are often cilated and form a simple cuboidal or low columnar epithelium.
The lack of tight junctions between ependymal cells allows a free exchange between cerebrospinal fluid and nervous tissue.
