Histology of the Four Tissue Types
![Page 2: C4.3 four tissue types w2016 · Note: Chapter 4 covers in detail the epithelial and connective tissues. We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84c91b59934d6767356c71/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Overview of Tissue• Epithelial (simple / stratified)
• Muscle (skeletal / smooth / cardiac)
• Connective tissue– Fibrous loose (areolar / reticular)– Fibrous dense (regular / irregular)– Adipose– Bone– Blood– Cartilage (hyaline / elastic / fibrous)
• Nervous (voluntary / involuntary)
Note: Chapter 4 covers in detail the epithelial and connective tissues. We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue in
Chapter 12. Blood is a type of connective tissue and this will be studied in Chapter 19.

Epithelial Tissue
• consists of a flat sheet of closely adhering cells
• one or more cells thick
• “free surface” / upper surface usually exposed to the environment or an internal space in the body
• covers body surface or lines body cavities
• forms the external and internal linings of many organs
• constitutes most glands
• extracellular material is so thin it is not visible with a light microscope
• epithelia is avascular (no blood vessels)
• tissue allows no room for blood vessels
• lie on a layer of loose connective tissue that provide blood vessels for nourishment and waste removal

We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84c91b59934d6767356c71/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Basement Membrane of Epithelial Tissue
• basement membrane – layer between an epithelium and the underlying connective tissue
• basement membrane contains: collagen // laminin and fibronectin adhesive // glycoproteins // heparin sulfate - large protein-carbohydrate complex
• anchors the epithelium to the connective tissue below it
• basal surface – surface of an epithelial cell that faces the basement membrane
• apical surface – surface of an epithelial cell that faces away from the basement membrane
![Page 5: C4.3 four tissue types w2016 · Note: Chapter 4 covers in detail the epithelial and connective tissues. We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84c91b59934d6767356c71/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Basal lamina / secreted by epithelial cells
Reticular lamina / secreted by fibroblast
Note: in diabetes mellitus / basement membrane of capillaries thickens –reduces diffusion / which causes cell death in capillary rich tissues like the eye (blindness) and kidneys (renal failure)

Epithelial Cells Shapes and Classes
• Simple epithelium– contains one layer of cells– named by shape of cells– all cells touch the basement
membrane
• Stratified epithelium– contains more than one layer– named by shape of apical cells– some cells rest on top of
others– and do not touch basement– membrane
![Page 8: C4.3 four tissue types w2016 · Note: Chapter 4 covers in detail the epithelial and connective tissues. We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84c91b59934d6767356c71/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Simple Epithelia• four types of simple epithelia
• three named for their cell shapes– simple squamous (thin scaly cells)– simple cuboidal (square or round cells)– simple columnar (tall narrow cells)
• fourth type // pseudostratified columnar– not all cells reach the free surface– shorter cells are covered over by taller ones– looks stratified– every cell reaches the basement membrane
• goblet cells – wineglass-shaped mucus secreting cells in simple columnar and pseudostratified epithelia

Stratified Epithelia• range from 2 to 20 or more layers of cells• some cells resting directly on others• only the deepest layer attaches to the basement membrane• three stratified epithelia are named for the shapes of their
surface cells– stratified squamous– stratified cuboidal– stratified columnar (rare)
• fourth type– transitional epithelium
• most widespread epithelium in the body• deepest layers undergo continuous mitosis
– their daughter cells push toward the surface and become flatter as they migrate farther upward
– finally die and flake off – exfoliation or desquamation• two kinds of stratified squamous epithelia
– keratinized – found on skin surface, abrasion resistant– nonkeratinized – lacks surface layer of dead cells

Membranes
• synovial membrane - lines joint cavities
– connective tissue layer only, secretes synovial fluid
– Cells which form this membrane are not epithelial but connective tissue cells

Membranes– serous membrane (serosa) - internal membrane
• simple squamous epithelium over areolar tissue
• produces serous fluid that arises from blood
• covers organs and lines walls of body cavities
– endothelium lines blood vessels and heart
– mesothelium line body cavities (pericardium, peritoneum and pleura)

Endocrine and Exocrine Glands
• What is a gland?
– cell or organ that secrete substances for use elsewhere in the body // or releases substance for elimination from the body
– composed of epithelial tissue in a connective tissue framework and capsule
• some organs have both endocrine and exocrine function // e.g. = liver, gonads, pancreas
![Page 27: C4.3 four tissue types w2016 · Note: Chapter 4 covers in detail the epithelial and connective tissues. We will cover the histology of muscle tissue in Chapter 10 and nervous tissue](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84c91b59934d6767356c71/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Endocrine and Exocrine Glands
• exocrine glands - maintain their contact with the body surface by way of a duct(epithelial tube that conveys secretion to surface)
– sweat, mammary and tear glands
• endocrine glands - lose their contact with the surface and have no ducts
– produce hormones – secretion of endocrine glands = messenger molecule – secrete (hormones) directly into blood– thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands
• unicellular glands – found in epithelium that is predominantly non-secretory tissue
– can be endocrine or exocrine
– mucus-secreting goblet or endocrine cells of stomach and small intestine

Exocrine Gland Structure• capsule – connective covering of
most glands
– septa or trabeculae // extensions of capsule that divide the interior of the gland into compartments (lobes)
– further divided into smaller lobules
• stroma // connective tissue framework of the gland
– supports and organizes glandular tissue
• parenchyma // the cells that perform the tasks of synthesis and secretion

Types of Secretions
• serous glands– produce thin, watery secretions
• perspiration, milk, tears and digestive juices
• mucous glands– produce glycoprotein, mucin, that absorbs
water to form a sticky secretion called mucus– goblet cells – unicellular mucous glands
• mixed glands – contain both cell types and produce a mixture
of the two types of secretions
• cytogenic glands – release whole cells, sperm and egg cells

Connective Tissue
• a type of tissue in which cells usually occupy less space than the extracellular material
• binds organs to each other
• support and protect organs
• most cells of connective tissue are not in direct contact with each other– separated by extracellular material
• highly vascular – richly supplied with blood vessels
• most abundant, widely distributed, and histologically variable of the primary tissues

– Blood’s formed elements able to emigrate into CT and travel throughoutCT (i.e. the reticuloendothelial system)
• macrophages phagocytize foreign material and activate immune system when sense foreign matter (antigen) // arise from white blood cell – monocytes
• leukocytes or white blood cells // five type // neutrophils wander in search of and attacking bacteria // lymphocytes react against bacteria, toxins, and other foreign material
• plasma cells (type of lymphocyte) synthesize disease fighting antibodies // arise from lymphocytes
• mast cells – found along side of blood vessels // secrete heparin inhibits clotting // histamine that dilates blood vessels

Adipose Tissue = Another Form of CT
• adipose tissue (fat) – tissue in which adipocytes are the dominant cell type
• space between adipocytes is occupied by areolar tissue, reticular tissue, and blood capillaries
• fat is the body’s primary energy reservoir
• the quantity of stored triglyceride and the number of adipocytes are quite stable in a person
– fat is recycled continuously to prevent stagnation– new triglycerides are constantly synthesized and stored– old triglycerides are hydrolyzed and released into circulation
• provides thermal insulation
• anchors and cushions organs such as eyeball, kidneys
• contributes to body contours – female breast and hips
• on average, women have more fat than men
• too little fat can reduce female fertility
• most adult fat is called white fat
• brown fat – in fetuses, infants, children – a heat generating tissue
