Q
Epithelial tissue (epithelum)
A
Is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity. Epithelia form boundaries between different environments.

Contrast exocrine and endocrine glands
Endocrine glands release their products (hormones) internally into extra cellular fluid
- they eventually make their way into the blood or lymph
Exocrine glands release their secretions onto a surface
-this can be an external surface such as the skin or internal surface such as the linen of the small intestine
30

Connective tissue
Most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues; though its amount in different organs varies
40
Four main classes of connective tissue
1. Connective tissue proper
2. Cartilage
3. Bone
4. Blood
41
Major functions of connective tissue
1. Binding and support (ex. ligaments end tendons)
2. Protecting (ex. areolar)
3. Insulating (ex. adipose)
4. Storing reserve fuel ( ex. adipose)
5. Transporting substances (ex. blood)
42
3 characteristics that differentiate connective tissue from other tissues
1. Common origin (a.ll connective tissue arse from embryonic tissue)
2. Varying degree of vascularity (blood vessels) from no vascularity in cartilage to highly vascularized areolar tissue
3. All connective tissue have an extracellular matrix
• connective tissue not composed mainly of cells but largely non-living extracellular matrix which separates cells
- this allows tissue to bear weight,withstand tension, endure abuse such as physical trauma
43
3 structural elements of connective tissues
1. Ground substance
2. Fibers
3. Cells
44
Ground substance
Is the unstructured material that fills the space between cells
- medium through which solutes diffuse between blood and capillaries and cells
- made of interstitial fluid cell adhesion proteins (“ glue” for attachment) and proteoglycans ( protein core + large polysaccharides)
-the proteoglycans trap water and varying amounts affecting viscosity of ground substance (the higher, the concentration of proteoglycans), the thicker more viscous the ground substance)
45
Connective tissue fibers (3)
Three types of fibers provide support:
-collagen
• strongest, and most abundant
• Tough, high tensile strength
-elastic fibers
• network of long, thin, elastin fibers that allow for stretch and recoil
• reticular
• short fine highly branch collagenous, fibers (different chemistry, and formed in collagen fibers)
• Branching networks that offer more “give”
46
Connective tissues cells. “Blast”
“blast”-immature cells are myopically, active cells that secrete ground substance, and the fiber characteristic of that tissue type
“blast” cells found, and connective tissue classes
•fibroblasts and connective tissue proper
• chondroblast in cartilage
• osteoblast in bone
• Hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow
