1. Epithelial Tissue 2. Connective Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
What are the four functions of epithelial tissue?
(hint: 4)
- Provide physical protection
- Control permeability
- Provide sensation
- Produce specialized secretions
- Epithelia protect exposed and internal surfaces from abrasion, dehydration, and destruction by chemical/biological agents.
- Any substances that enters or leaves the body must cross epithelium, therefore it must be regulated.
- Most epithelia are extremely sensitive to stimulation because they have a large sensory nerve supply.
- Epithelial cells that produce secretions are called gland cells.
Epithelial Tissue
What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue?
(hint: 5)
- Polarity
- Cellularity
- Attachment
- Avascularity
- Regeneration
- Polarity meaning it has an apical (exposed) surface and basement membrane.
- Epithelia are made almost entirely of cells bound closely together by cell junctions.
- Base of epithelium is bound to a basement membrane.
- Epithelia lack blood vessels and get their nutrients from diffusion and absoprtion from other cells.
- Epithelial cells are continuously replaced through stem cell divisions in the epithelium.
Epithelial Tissue
This type of epithelium acts as an exchange system, and is located in protected regions where absorption and diffusion takes place, or where a slick, slippery surface reduces friction.
Simple squamous epithelium
Reduces friction, controls vessels permeability, performs absorption/secretion.
