TISSUE LEVEL OF
ORGANIZATION
4 BASIC TISSUE TYPES
• Epithelial
• Connective
• Muscle
• Nervous
Cell Connections
• Tight Junctions
• Adherens
• Desmosomes
• Hemidesmosomes
• Gap Junctions
Tight Junctions
most apical part of cell
fuse 2 adjacent membranes
with fibrous connections
prevents passage of
molecules & ions between
cells
if epithelium forms tube 
space in tube is-lumen
presence of tight junctions
ensures that contents of
lumen are isolated from
basolateral cell surfaces
Adherens
• dense layers of
proteins on inside
of membrane
• attach membrane
proteins to
microfilaments of
cell’s cytoskeleton
Desmosomes
localized patches
holding cells
together
allow tissues to resist
twisting & stretching
stabilize cell shapes
most abundant in
superficial skin
layers
links so strong that
dead skin cells are
shed in thick sheetsnot individually
Hemidesmosomes
• made of
proteins
• anchor cells
to basement
membrane
Gap Junctions
intercellular channels
permit passage of ions &
small molecules
comprised of pore-like
transmembrane
proteins-connexons
help coordinate functions
such as cilia beating
most abundant in cardiac
& smooth muscle
coordinate muscle cell
contraction
Epithelial Tissue
•
•
•
•
flat sheets of contiguous cells
line body surfaces & cavities
cover every exposed surface
skin & all passageways that
communicate with the outside world
– Digestive
– Reproductive
– Urinary
– Respiratory

EPITHELIA TISSUE
CHARACTERISTICS
Cellularity
– made almost entirely of cells
– packed together tightly with little extracellular space
Polarity
– cytoplasmic components of cells not evenly distributed
– cells have one exposed face either to external world or to a lumenapical surface and basal surface which faces underlying connective
tissue
Attachment
– bottom row of cells bound to basement membrane
Avascularity
– no direct contact of epithelial cells with blood vessels
– nutrition comes via diffusion or absorption from underlying tissues
Regeneration
– able to repair and renew themselves
– stem or germinative cells are found in deepest layer of epithelium near
basement membrane
FUNCTIONS
• physical protection
– protect underlying cells from abrasion,
dehydration and destruction
• control permeability
– anything entering or leaving the body
must cross an epithelium
• provide sensation
– some detect environmental changes &
relay information to nervous system
• produce special secretions
– primary function of glandular
epithelium
Specializations of Apical Surface
• Microvilli
– finger-like projections
– increases surface area 20X
– specialized for absorption & secretion
• Cilia
– longer with larger diameter
– beat in coordinated fashion
– movement of fluids across & through epithelia
Classification of Epithelia
• cell shape
• arrangement of cell
layers
Arrangement of Layers
• Simple
– one layer of cells
• Pseudostratified
– one layer that looks like
several layers
• all cells attach to
basement
membrane
• Stratified
– several layers of cells
stacked on top of each
other
•
Function & Classification of
Epithelia

membrane
one surface faces either lumen or
outside world
cells are thin
same polarity
typically fragile
do not provide much protection
against mechanical damage
found only internally
absorption or secretion
Stratified
– basal layer of cells rests on
basement membrane
– subsequent layers do not
– stacked on top of basal layer
– cells of only most superficial layer
have free surface
– found in areas subjected to
mechanical or chemical stresses
• skin & lining of mouth
Cell Shapes
• Squamous
– flat & irregularly shaped
– often so thin that flattened nucleus bulges at cell surface
• Cuboidal
– about as tall as wide
– look like cubes or hexagonal boxes
– Nucleus-usually round & not flattened
• Columnar cells
– taller than wide
– look like columns
– Nucleus-usually elongated & found in long axis of cell
• Transitional cells
– go from squamouscuboidal & back again
– all organs to change shape
TYPES OF EPITHELIA

tubules, pancreas &
salivary glands
Simple Columnar
• one layer of columnar
cells

secretion take place
• small intestine
• in small intestine
epithelium has goblet
cells which secrete
mucus to protect and
lubricate
• found with cilia in
oviducts & respiratory
tract
Stratified Squamous
• several layers of squamous cells
• surface cells look squamous
• lower ones appear more cuboidal
or columnar
• found where body experiences
severe mechanical stresses
• cells are worn away quickly
• replaced rapidly by mitosis in lower
layers
• outer layer of the skin- epidermis
– here mechanical stress and
dehydration of the superficial
layers is aided with keratin
• skin is said to be keratinized
• Non-keratinized stratified
squamous epithelium
– found in mouth, pharynx &
esophagus
Stratified Cuboidal
• typically only 2 cell
layers of cuboidal
cells
• not a great quantity
found in

• nuclei are at different
levels but all cells rest on
basement membrane
• not all same height
• often contains cilia &
goblet cells
• found lining most of
respiratory tract
Transitional Epithelium
• multi-layered
• goes from cuboidal
squamous and back again
• thicker, multilayered
epithelium

• tolerates great deal of
stretching
• surface cells are more
muffin-shaped
• cells are rounded when
organ is not filled and flattens
as organ fills
Glanduar Epithelia
• Gland
– cell or organ that secretes substances for use elsewhere in the
body or releases them for elimination from body
– composed primarily of epithelia tissue
• Endocrine
– ductless
– release hormones into interstitial fluid
– regulate or coordinate activity of other tissues, organs & organ
systems
• Exocrine
– ducted
– release secretions into passageways or ducts which empty onto
the skin or other epithelial surfaces
– produce enzymes & perspiration
Exocrine Gland Classification
• Unicellular
• Multicellular
• Simple
–have single, unbranched
duct
• Compound
–have branched duct
Exocrine Gland Classification
• if duct & secretory part are
equal in diameter-gland is
tubular

secreting
• release
products via
exocytosis
Apocrine Glands
• product
accumulates in
apical tip
• pinched off to
secrete
• rest of gland
repairs itself
Holocrine glands
• entire cell becomes
packed with secretory
product
• cell bursts releasing
secretion and in so
doing kills the cell
• further secretion
depends on
replacement of gland
cell
• sebaceous or oil
glands associated with
hair follicles
Connective Tissue

• protection for delicate organs such as brain & lungs
• immune protection defending body from
microorganisms
• transports fluids & dissolved materials through
body
• movement
– bones provide levers for body movement

Areolar Connective Tissue
• consists of an open
framework
• ground substance accounts
for most of its volume
• forms soft-pliable-packing
material around tissues
– muscles, blood vessels &
glands
• absorbs shock

makes it able to return to
original shape
• forms layer separating skin
from deeper structures
Adipose Tissue
• composed mainly of
adipocytes
• little matrix

Supporting Connective TissuesCartilage
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
strong, flexible
found throughout the body
Matrix firm gel containing chondroitin sulfate which
forms complexes with proteinsproteoglycans
cells are chondrocytes
found in chambers or lacunae
avascular, blood cells do not grow into it
three types : hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage.
Hyaline
– covers ends of long bones
– matrix consists of closely packed collagen fibers
which makes it tough & flexible
– found connecting ribs to sternum, nasal cartilages,
respiratory tract and as a cover in opposing bone
surfaces in joints such as the knees & elbows.
Elastic cartilage
– like hyaline-more elastin fibers making it flexible and
resilient
– epiglottis & ear pinna
Fibrocartilage
– looks like dense regular connective tissue
– matrix dominated by collagen fibers-densely
interwoven making it durable, tough & more
compressible than other cartilages
– found as intervertebral discs
– menisci of knees, between pubic bones, around or
in joints and tendons
– resists compressions, absorbs shocks
– prevents bone to bone contact
Supporting Connective TissuesBone
• osseous tissue
• support & protection, fat storage
and blood cell formation
• small amount ofground substance
• Matrix-like cartilage but more rigid
because of calcium salt-CaPO4
– remainder is collagen fibers
– Ca salts make tissue hard &
brittle
– Collage fibers make it strong &
flexible
• Bone cells are called osteocytes
– found in lacunae
– organized around blood
vessels that branch through the
matrix

3 types: skeletal, cardiac and smooth
all contract alike but have different internal organizations
Skeletal muscles have cells called fibers
– long & thin
– multinucleated often containing several hundred nuclei
– striated or striped due to repeating groups of cellular proteins
actin and myosin-responsible for contraction
• cells contract when stimulated by nerves
• under voluntary control
