tissues are made of
cells and extracellulcar material
cells can be connected to each other with
junctions and extracellular matrix
tissues surrounded by
exytacellular matrix
study of tissues
histology
4 types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
epithelium is refered to as
epithelial tissue
epithelial tissue is composed of one or more layers that are ____
closely packed
epithelieum contains little to no
extracellular matrix
epithelium is connected by
tight junction
lots of ____ associated with epithelium
glands
examples of epithelium
mouth and skin
epithlial cells have _______- surface
apical and basal
apical surface
exposed to external environment or internal body space
epithelial tissue composed entirely of
tightly pacled cells
apical surface could have
microvili or cilia
bsal surface is attached to
connective tissue
basement membrane
Barrier between epithelium and connective tissue
epithelia is Avascularity
means having no blood cells
since epithelia lack blood vessels where do they get nutrients
Nutrients obtained across apical surface or from basal
surface
epithelia have Extensive innervation
Richly innervated; detect changes in environment
epithelia have High regeneration capacity which means they
Continual replacement of lost cells
simple epithelium
One cell layer thick; all cells contact basement membrane
* Filtration, absorption, or secretion is primary function
stratified epithelium
Two or more layers of epithelial cells
* Only basal layer in contact with basement membrane
* In areas subjected to mechanical stress
squamos
Flat, wide, irregular in shape
* Nucleus flat
