4 Basic Tissues in the body
- epithelial
- connective
- nervous
- muscular
Epithelial Tissue: 2 Types of Epithelium
covering epithelium
- cells that cover the external and internal surfaces
glandular epithelium
- cells that produce and secrete product (like hormones)
Epithelial Tissue: Characteristics of Epithelium CELLULARITY
- adjacent epithelial cells are jointed by junctions
- 4 types of junctions: tight junctions, adhering junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions

Epithelial Tissue: Characteristics of epithelium POLARITY
- epithelial cell has an exploded (apical) surface that faces the exterior of the body or internal space AND A basal surface where it is attached to underlying tissue

Epithelial Tissue: Characteristics of Epithelium ATTACHMENT
- epithelial cells rest on and are attached to the basal lamina (basement membrane)

Epithelial Tissue: Characteristics of Epithelium AVASCULARITY
- epithelial tissue has no direct contact with blood cells
- the epithelial cells receive nutrients from blood vessels in the underlying tissue
Epithelial Tissue: Characteristics of Epithelium REGENERATION
- epithelial cells are renewed constantly
Epithelial Tissue: Functions of epithelium
Support and Protection
- covers external and internal surfaces of the body
Permeability
- allows substances to be absorbed into the body (ex. in the digestive system)
Sensation
-some epithelial tissues can detect sensory stimuli (ex. skin senses touch)
Secretion
- specialized to secrete specific substances (ex. skin secretes lubricating oils)
Epithelial Tissue: Classifying Epithelium
CELL ORGANIZATION
CELL SHAPE
Classifying epithelium: Cell organization
simple
- epithelium is 1 layer thick
stratified
- epithelium is 2 or more layers thick

Classifying epithelium: Cell Shape
squamous
- flat (thin), wide, and somewhat irregular in shape
cuboidal
- square, nucleus is normally in the middle
columnar
- taller than they are wide, nucleus is oval and located in the basal region of the cell

Epithelial Tissue: Naming epithelial tissue
- named using their classification
- first part is cell organization, second part is cell shape
Epithelial Tissue: Simple Squamous
- single layer of flattened cells
- ex. found lining blood vessels. Blood vessels transport materials to and from cells, so the thinner barrier allows for quicker change between cells

Epithelial Tissue: Simple cuboidal
- single layer of cube cells
- ex. can be found lining some glands

Epithelial Tissue: Simple columnar
- single layer of column cells
- ex. can be found lining the GI tract. Similar to simple squamous, it allows for rapid secretion or absorption of material

Epithelial Tissue: Stratified Squamous
- multiple layers of flat shaped cells
- the basal cells may be more cuboidal, but the apical cells are more flattened
- ex. make up the most superficial layers of the skin

Epithelial Tissue: Stratified Columnar
- multiple layers of column shaped cells
- rare in the human body, but can be found in the male urethra
- function: protection and secretion

Epithelial Tissue: Stratified cuboidal
- multiple layers of cube shaped cells
- can be located in some ducts of glands
- functions: secretion, protection, strength

Epithelial Tissue: Other Types of epithelium TRANSITIONAL
- made up of multiple layers of epithelial cells allowing for stretching
- shape depends on if its stretched or relaxed
- domed shaped surface cells, which stretch in when surface cells fallen out

Epithelial Tissue: Other Types of epithelium PSEUDOSTRATIFIED
- single layer of cells and its cell nucleus in a way like stratified epithelium
- short cilia (hair like projections) on the surface of these cells help In moving mucous
- can be found in the respiratory tract, where mucous must be transported

Connective Tissue
- most common type of tissue in the body
Connective Tissue: Functions
SUPPORT AND PROTECTION
- the bones of the skull protect the brain
-kidneys are surrounded by a fat padding that protects it
STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK FROM THE BODY
- cartilage supports body structure like the trachea, ears and nose
- bones of the skeleton are the framework for skeletal muscles
MEDIUM FOR EXCHANGE
- blood carries gases, nutrients, wastes, and blood cells to different parts of the body
STORAGE AND REPAIR
- bone stores minerals like calcium
- fat serves as a major energy storage for the body
DEFENSE
- acting like a physical barrier
- through white blood cells
- antibody production
Connective Tissue: Components of Connective Tissues
- cells
- fibres
- ground substance
Components of Connective Tissues: Cells
- many types of cells can be found in connective tissues
FIXED CELLS

Components of Connective Tissues: Fibres
3 Types of fibres secreted by fibroblasts
COLLAGEN FIBRES
RETICULAR FIBRES
ELASTIC FIBRES
- different fibres lead to different functions fo connective tissue

- ex. adipose tissue. fat cells make up most of this tissue

dense CT
- less ground substance with more CT fibres
- found in ligaments and tendons
- ex. Elastic tissue. bundles of thick elastic fibres where we find collagen and fibroblasts

bone
- forms the framework of the body
- circle shapes called osteons

cartilage
- structural component of the body
- nose, ears
- types: hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage

blood
- fluid in the heart and blood vessels
- it has various cells and proteins and does a number of essential functions in the body

lymph
- a fluid that is collected into thin-walled lymphatic vessels and transported to the cardiovascular system
Ehlesr-Danlos Syndrome
- there is issues with collagen fibre
- causes loose fragile skin with lots of stretch because there is no strength in the connective tissue
Supporting connective tissue
- cartilage and bones
- provides a strong, durable framework to protect and support soft body tissues
Cartilage
- a firm tissue, softer and more flexible than bone
- found in joints between moveable bones between vertebra in the spine, ears and nose, bronchial tubes or airways
Cartilage: Components of Cartilage
CELLS
- mostly chondrocytes, located throughout ground substance in small spaces called lacunae that contain 1 or more cells
FIBRES
- collagen or elastic fibres throughout cartilage
GROUND SUBSTANCE
- a firm gel that makes cartilage solid
- contains the chondrocytes
Cartilage: Additional Components of Cartilage
PERICHONDRIUM

- not all types of cartilage have this
LACUNAE
- small spaces in cartilage that hold 1 or more chondrocytes
Types of Cartilage
HYALINE
