Epithelial Tissue
transitional epithelium (look for dome shape)
-Forms lining of hollow urinary organs -Found in bladder, ureters, and urethra -Basal layer cells are cuboidal or columnar -Ability of cells to change shape when stretched allows for increased flow of urine and, in the case of bladder, more storage space
stratified squamous epithelium
-Free surface is squamous, with deeper cuboidal or columnar layers -Located in areas of high wear and tear (example: skin) -Keratinized cells found in skin; nonkeratinized cells are found in moist linings (vagina)
stratified epithelial tissue
-Involve two or more layers of cells -New cells regenerate from below --Basal cells divide and migrate toward surface -More durable than simple epithelia because protection is the major role
Simple columnar epithelium
-Single layer of tall, closely packed cells -Some cells have microvilli, and some have cilia -Some layers contain mucus-secreting goblet cells -Involved in absorption and secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances -Ciliated cells move mucus -Found in digestive tract, gallbladder, ducts of some glands, bronchi, and uterine tubes
origins of epithelium
-from all three embryonic germ layers https://youtu.be/y4QjEcZrVXg -skin, lining of mouth, nose and anus from ectoderm "attractoderm" - personality (cns),skin mouth, anus, -lining of respiratory and digestive tract, glands of digestive tract from endoderm ductoderm- (tubes) digestive llp digestive tract, lungs, liver, pancreas -endothelium of blood vessels, mesothelium of body cavities, tubules of kidney, lining of reproductive tract from mesoderm "musclederm- muscles and other athlete" cadriovascular, urinary anc reproductive
Unicellular exocrine glands where are they found?
-mucous cells and goblet cells -Found in epithelial linings of intestinal and respiratory tracts
two names of epithelial tissues
1- number of cells a. simple- single b. stratified-many 2- shape of cells a. squamous- flat "squished" b. cuboidal- box c. columnar- column
How are glands classified?
1. By the ways the glands secrete their products 2. number of cells that form the gland
Two main forms of epithelial tissue
1. Covering and lining epithelia 2. Glandular epithelia
How are tissues processed?
1. fresh tissue is fixed them embed 2. a small cut (section) is taken 3. stained for viewing

multicellular exocrine glands structures
Can be simple or compound.... (by start of duct) each of those can be tubular or alveolar (by terminal end "secretary cell"
multicellular exocrine glands mnemonic
Cheese Sandwiches Feel Nutritious Since Cheese Provides Saturatedfat 5 simple, 3 compound Tubular, branched, alveolar
Simple columnar and cuboidal are both for involved in secretion and absorption... But whats the difference?
Columnar focuses on the secretion of more complex substances. Ex: mucus goblet cells
Ductless glands Secretions are not released into a duct; are released into surrounding interstitial fluid, which is picked up by circulatory system
Endocrine glands
2 types of glandular epithelium
Endocrine- internally secreting (hormones) Exocrine- externally secreting (sweat)
Two special kinds of simple squamous epethelia
Endothelium: Mesothelium:
___________- is a sheet of cells that covers body surfaces or cavities Main functions: protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, and sensory reception
Epithelial tissue
How do endocrine glands secrete hormones?
Exocytosis
What are tissues?
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function that preform a related function
General characteristics of epethelia
P Cup BRA Polarized- Apical surface is different than basal surface (functions are different) Contiguous- Share common boarder( touching) Basal lamina OR Basement membrane (basal lamina+ reticular lamina) Regenerative- self healing Avascular (innervated)- no blood vessels, but can have nerves
Serous cells (glands)
Produce watery secretions mostly containing proteins "serous acinus" (e.g. digestive enzymes) Cells have pyramidal morphology Basal nuclei Intensely basophilic basal region due to abundant RNA/polyribosomes Light-staining granules concentrated in apical region Small central lumen
stratified cuboidal epithelium
Quite rare Found in some sweat and mammary glands Typically only two cell layers thick
Mucous cells
Secrete hydrophilic glycoproteins (mucins) Hydrated mucins form viscous gel Pyramidal cells with basal (often flattened) nuclei Pale cytoplasm May form acini or tubules Large central lumen
Mucous cells
Secrete hydrophilic glycoproteins "mucous acinus" (mucins) Hydrated mucins form viscous gel Pyramidal cells with basal (often flattened) nuclei Pale cytoplasm May form acini or tubules Large central lumen
3 different tissue types in kidneys, and their locations
Simple squamous- parietal layer of bowmans capsule Simple cuboidal- Proximal distal and collecting tubules Simple columnar - papillary ducts
multicellular exocrine glands list
Simple tubular- colon Simple coiled tubular- Sweat glands Simple branched tubular- fundic glands- stomach simple alveolar- none simple branched alveolar- Sebaceous Compound Tubular- Cardiac glands of stomach compound alveolar- pancreas compound tubuloalveolar- salivary glands
Difference in simple, compound... and tubular, alveolar exocrine glands
Simple- have unbranched ducts Compound- branched ducts Tubular- secretary cells form a duct (the ends) Alveolar glands- cells for sacs
What does all Unicellular exocrine glands produce?
-All produce mucin, a sugar-protein that can dissolve in water to form mucus, a slimy protective, lubricating coating
Apocrine found where?
accumulate products within, but only apex ruptures; APO=APEX whether this type exists in humans is controversial (maybe mammary cells?)
Holocrine found where?
accumulate products within, then rupture (sebaceous oil glands) Sebaceous glands HOLOcrine WHOLE cell ruptures
How to identify a tissue type?
apical layer
Levels of physiology
chemical- cellullar- tissue- organ- organ system- organism
functions of epidermis
epidermis- psats Protection or selectively permeable barrier Secretion Absorption Transcellular transport Sensation
Difference between endocrine and exocrine glands in relation to surface epethelium
exocrine glands- retain connection with surface with ducts endocrine- lose connection with surface
Unicellular/ multicellular gland examples
goblet cell/ salivary
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
-Cells vary in height and appear to be multi-layered and stratified, but tissue is in fact single-layered simple epithelium ---"Pseudo" means false ---Many cells are ciliated -Involved in secretion, particularly of mucus, and also in movement of mucus via ciliary sweeping action -Located mostly in upper respiratory tract, ducts of large glands, and tubules in testes
simple cuboidal epithelium
-Single layer of cells -Involved in secretion and absorption -Forms walls of smallest ducts of glands and many kidney tubules
stratified columnar epithelium
Also very limited distribution in body Small amounts found in pharynx, in male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts Usually occurs at transition areas between two other types of epithelia Only apical layer is columnar
Mixed glands
Contain both serous and mucous cells e.g. submandibular gland: --90% serous acinar cells --10% mucous tubules with serous demilunes
Mixed glands
Contain both serous and mucous cells secrete "mixed acinus" e.g. submandibular gland: --90% serous acinar cells --10% mucous tubules with serous demilunes
Locations of keratinzed and non keratinized
keratin- skin non- vocal chords, vagina
