    TI UE: Epithelial Tissue

    Uploaded by

    There are four main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue lines body surfaces and cavities. Connective tissue binds, supports, and transports. Muscular tissue allows for movement. Nervous tissue controls and coordinates the body through functions like sensation and movement. Each tissue type has distinct characteristics and functions that allow the body to carry out specialized activities.

    TISSUE

    INTRODUCTION
    • A tissue is a group of cells that usually have a
    common origin and function together to carry out
    specialized activities.
    • Tissues may be hard, semisolid, or even liquid in
    their consistency, a range exemplified by bone, fat,
    and blood.
    • Histology (histo- tissue; -logy- study of) is the
    science that deals with the study of tissues.
    TYPES
    • Epithelial Tissue (Protection by covering, secretion
    and absorption)
    • Connective Tissue (Binding, Support, Transport)
    • Muscular Tissue (Movement and Locomotion)
    • Nervous Tissue (Control and Coordination

    Epithelial Tissue
    • Structural characteristics: The cells forming
    epithelial tissue –
    • (i) Are closely packed with no intercellular space
    in between.
    • (ii) Arise from a non-cellular basement membrane.
    • (iii) Not supplied with blood vessels
    • Functions
    • Line the surfaces, help in absorption and
    secretions.
    •

    • Lines the cardiovascular


    • Forms the epithelial layer of serous membranes
    (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium).
    • Lines gastrointestinal tract (from stomach to
    anus), ducts of many glands, and gallbladder
    • Lines some bronchioles (small tubes) of
    respiratory tract, uterine (fallopian) tubes, uterus
    etc.
    • Ciliated variety lines airways of most of upper
    respiratory tract
    • non-keratinized variety lines wet surfaces (lining
    of mouth, esophagus, part of epiglottis
    • Lines urinary bladder
    CONNECTIVE TISSUE
    • Connective tissue is found throughout the body. It
    is usually characterized by large amounts of
    extracellular material that separates cells from
    one another.
    Classification of Connective Tissue
    • Connective Tissue Proper
    Loose (Fewer Fibres, more ground substance)
    • Areolar
    • Adipose
    • Reticular
    Dense (more fibres, less ground substance)
    • Dense Irregular Connective Tissue-Tendons &
    ligaments
    Supporting Connective Tissue
    • Cartilage
    • Fluid Connective Tissue
    • Blood
    FUNCTION
    • form a framework
    • support for organs
    • They occur throughout the body.
    • form a framework and support for organs
    • Transportation

    MUSCLE TISSUE
    • The main characteristic of muscle tissue is its
    ability to contract, or shorten, making movement
    possible.
    • Muscle contraction results from contractile
    proteins located within the muscle cells. Muscle
    cells are sometimes called muscle fibres because
    they often resemble tiny threads
    • Classification of muscles
    Skeletal muscle tissue
    Cardiac muscle tissue
    Smooth Muscle Tissue
    NERVOUS TISSUE
    • Nervous tissue forms the brain, spinal cord, and
    nerves.
    • It is responsible for coordinating and controlling
    many body activities.
