Histology• Study of tissues (approximately 220
types!)• Tissues: groups of highly specialized
cells performing functions that benefit the organism as a whole– Cells must be similar in structure &
function and come from similar embryonic origin
• Four Primary tissue types– Epithelium (covering)– Connective (support)– Muscle (movement)– Nervous (control)
• Organs contain several tissue types, and arrangement of tissues determines organ’s structure & function
![Page 3: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Primary Germ Layers• All tissues & organs of the body
develop from one of three primary germ layers:– Ectoderm (outside)
• Lining, skin, nervous – Endoderm (inside)
• Organs, mucosae & glands, linings of cavitiesand tracts
– Mesoderm (middle)• Connective tissue (i.e. blood, bone) and most muscle tissue
![Page 4: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Extracellular Materials• ECF: usually fluid, but can be more
gel-like or calcified (i.e. bone)• ECF provides a medium for:
– Dissolving & mixing solutes– Transporting substances– Carrying out chemical reactions
![Page 5: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Epithelial Tissue• a.k.a. epithelium (“epithe” = laid on,
covering)• Lining, covering, and glandular tissue
of the body• Covers all free body surfaces and
contains versatile cells• Nearly all substances that the body
gives off or receives must pass through epithelium
• Functions:– Protection– Filtration– Absorption– Secretion
![Page 6: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Characteristics of Epithelium• Cells fit closely together to form continuous
sheets – single or multiple layers (desmosomes & tight junctions); little extracellular materials
• Membranes always have one free (unattached) surface or edge (apical surface) that is exposed to body’s exterior or to the cavity of an internal organ (some have modifications like cilia or microvilli)
• Basal surface (lower) of epithelium rests on a basement membrane – structureless material secreted by both epithelial cells and connective tissue cells that border the epithelium
• Epithelial tissues have no blood supply of their own (avascular) and depend on diffusion from the capillaries in underlying connective tissue for food and oxygen
• Regenerate easily (high mitotic rate)• Have a nerve supply• Derived from all three primary germ layers

Motion Induced Blindness Motion, your mind, and a myriad of shapes team up to rob you of your sight! Simply stare at the dot in the middle of the screen and see what happens.
Don't worry, there are no lasting side effects... We think.
![Page 8: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Classification of Epithelium
• Two names: – 1st indicates relative number of cell layers
• Simple (one layer) or stratified (multiple layers) or pseudostratified (looks like multiple layers)
– 2nd indicates the shape of its cells• Squamous (flat)• Cuboidal (cube)• Columnar (shaped like columns)• Transitional (varies)
• Stratified epithelium is named based on cells at the free surface!
• Arrangement reflects location and function
![Page 9: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Simple Squamous Epithelium• Single layer, flat shape
• All cells attached to basement membrane• Fit closely together• Forms membranes where filtration or
exchange of substances by rapid diffusion occurs (absorption, secretion, filtration)
• Ex: air sacs of lungs (O2 & CO2 exchanged), walls of capillaries (nutrients and gases pass between the tissue cells and blood in capillaries), form serous membranes (serosae) – slick membranes that line ventral body cavity and cover organs in that cavity
• Endothelium – lines blood vessels• Mesothelium – lines body cavities and
mesenteries
![Page 12: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
• Single layer/cube shape• Common in glands and their ducts• Ex. Salivary glands and pancreas,
walls of kidney tubules, covers surface of ovaries
Tubule lining –
longitudinal cut
Tubule lining – cross-section
![Page 13: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Simple Columnar Epithelium• Single layer/column (tall) shape
• Often have goblet cells – produce lubricating mucus
• Ex: lines entire length of digestive tract from stomach to anus
• Mucosae (mucous membranes): epithelial membranes that line body cavities open to the body exterior
![Page 14: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
• Appear to be multi-layered, but are actually one single layer that rest on the basement membrane
• Nuclei appear at different heights and some cells shorter than others
• Mainly functions in absorption and secretion
• Can be ciliated (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium)
• Also can have goblet cells• Ex: respiratory tract – mucus produced
by goblet cells in this epithelium traps dust and other debris, and the cilia propel the mucus upward and away from the lungs
![Page 15: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
• Multiple layers, flat shape• Most common stratified epithelium in
body• Cells at free edge are squamous, and
those close to basement membrane can be cuboidal or columnar
• Found in sites that receive a good deal of abuse or friction
• Keratin – protein coating on apical surface (i.e. skin)– Can be keratinized or non-keratinized
• Ex. Esophagus, mouth, outer portion of skin
Non-keratinized
Keratinized
![Page 16: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

cells being cuboidal in shape• Fairly rare in body; distribution
extremely limited• Mainly in ducts of large glands (larger
ducts of mammary glands, sweat and salivary glands, pancreas)
![Page 17: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Transitional Epithelium
• Variable shapes• Highly modified, sratified squamous
epithelium that forms the lining of only a few organs– Urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the
urethra• Subject to considerable stretching• Cells of basal layer cuboidal or
columnar & cells at free surface vary in appearance
• Not stretched: superficial cells rounded and domelike
• Distended: epithelium thins and surface cells flatten and become squamouslike
Distended
![Page 19: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Glandular Epithelium• Gland: one or more cells that make
and secrete a particular product• Secretion: typically contains protein
molecules in an aqueous fluid• Endocrine glands: ductless glands;
secretions (hormones) diffuse directly into the blood vessels that weave through the glands (i.e. thyroid, adrenals, pituitary)
• Exocrine glands: ducts; secretions empty through ducts to epithelial surface (i.e. sweat & oil glands, liver, pancreas)
![Page 20: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Face/Candlestick IllusionThis is an image of two people about to make out. Or, it's a nice all-white candlestick. If you're a people person, you're likely to think it's the former, whereas aesthetically-minded domestic types will want to see an inanimate object perfect for the dinner table. Either way, those folks sure have big foreheads and that candlestick hold sure is awfully wide!
![Page 21: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

substance, fibers– Extracellular matrix: ground substance +
fibers• Fibers made of protein (collagen is most
abundant protein in body – 25%)• No free surface (connects!)• Has nerve supply (except cartilage)• Highly vascular
– except cartilage (avascular) & tendon (poorly vascularized)
• Matrix may be fluid, semifluid, gelatinous, fibrous, or calcified (depends on ground substance)– Secreted by connective tissue cells &
adjacent cells– ground substance: structureless; water plus
some adhesion proteins & large, charged, polysaccharide molecules
– Determines tissue’s qualities
![Page 23: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Embryonic Origin • Mesenchyme: undifferentiated
connective tissue cells in embryo• All Connective tissue is derived from
mesoderm!!– How is this different from Epithelial
tissue?
![Page 24: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Embryonic Connective Tissue• Embryo (0-2 months); Fetus (2 mos.-birth)

Connective Tissue Cells• Mesenchymal cells become blast cells (immature)
• Blast cells undergo mitosis and secrete the matrix• Mature cells do not divide & make matrix – just
maintain what is there
![Page 26: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Fibers made of proteins• Types of fibers:
– Collagen fibers – tough & resistant to stretching/pulling forces; bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments
– Elastic fibers – strength & stretching; skin, blood vessels, lungs (smaller than collagen fibers)
– Reticular fibers – collagen + glycoprotein; support in blood vessel walls & form strong supporting network around fat cells, nerve fibers, skeletal/smooth muscle fibers; form basement membrane and framework of soft organs

“glue”– Holds organs together and in proper positions
• Reservoir of water and salts for surrounding tissues – All cells obtain nutrients from & release wastes into
this “tissue fluid”• Edema: areolar tissue in area soaks up excess
fluid when area is inflamed – area swells and becomes puffy
• Phagocytes scavenge for bacteria and debris and dead cells in this tissue to destroy
![Page 41: Tissues Chapter 3](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/568163bf550346895dd4e0b4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Tissue Repair (Wound Healing)• Tissue injury stimulates the body’s
inflammatory and immune responses and healing begins almost immediately
• Returning to homeostasis• Tissue repair/wound healing occurs in two
ways:– Regeneration – replacement of destroyed tissue
by the same kind of cells (parenchyma cells – functioning cells of organ)
– Fibrosis – repair by dense (fibrous) connective tissue (scar tissue) – (stroma – supporting cells of organ – connective tissue)
– Which type depends on:• Type of tissue damaged• Severity of injury
• Different tissue types have different capacities for renewal of parenchyma cells– During embryonic development, muscle & nervous
become highly differentiated and lose capacity for mitosis; epithelial and connective tissues general have a capacity for renewal

Tissue Repair (Wound Healing)1. Inflammation
– Nonspecific body response that tries to prevent further injury
– Inflammatory chemicals are released and make capillaries permeable
– Fluid with clotting proteins seep into injured area from blood
– Clot is constructed to stop loss of blood and hold wound together
– Scab forms where clot is exposed to air

Tissue Repair (Wound Healing)2. Granulation Tissue
– Delicate pink tissue composed largely of new capillaries
– Grow into damaged area from undamaged blood vessels nearby
– Fragile & bleed freely (i.e. when scab picked)– Contains phagocytes that dispose of blood clot– Contains connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) that
produce the building blocks of collagen fibers (scar tissue) to permanently bridge the gap

Tissue Repair (Wound Healing)3. Regeneration & Fibrosis
– Surface epithelium regenerates across the granulation tissue below the scab
– Scab detaches when surface epithelium has covered wound
– Fibrosis (scar) usually underneath regenerated epithelium
• Scar Tissue: strong, lacks flexibility, in ability to perform normal tissue functions
• Adhesions can resultfrom fibrosis and cause abnormal joining of adjacent tissue (recentsurgery sites) – can causeobstructions (abdomen)

Tissue Repair (Wound Healing)• Tissue repair can be affected by:
– Nutrition– Blood circulation
• Transport of oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, etc.• Removal of tissue fluids, bacteria, and debris
– Age• Young are better nutritionally• Better blood supply• Cells have higher metabolic rate• Cells & extracellular components change with age• Collagen/elastic fibers change with age
