Tissues – Introduction
● a group of similar cells specialized to carry on a
particular function
● tissue = cells + extracellular matrix
– nonliving portion of a tissue that supports cells
● 4 types
– epithelial = protection, secretion, absorption
– connective = support soft body parts and bind
structures together
– muscle = movement
– nervous = conducts impulses used to help control and
coordinate body activities

Epithelial Tissues
Characteristics
● free surface open to the outside or an open
internal space
● basement membrane anchors epithelium to
underlying connective tissue
● lack blood vessels
● readily divide (ex. skin healing)
● tightly packed with little extracellular
space

Page 3 of 27
Epithelial Classifications
● classified based on shape and # of cell
layers
● shape
– squamous = thin, flat cells
– cuboidal = cube-shaped cells
– columnar = tall, elongated cells
● number
– simple = single layer
– stratified = 2 or more layers

Page 4 of 27
Epithelial Locations
● cover body surfaces, cover and line

internal organs, and compose glands
– skin cells, cells that line the stomach and
small intestine, inside of your mouth

Page 5 of 27
Simple squamous epithelium
● a single layer of thin, flattened cells

– look like a fried egg
● easily damaged
● common at sites of filtration, diffusion,
osmosis; cover surfaces
● air sacs of the lungs, walls of capillaries,
linings of blood and lymph vessels

Page 7 of 27
Simple cuboidal epithelium
● single layer of cube-shaped cells

– centrally located nucleus
● secretion and absorption
● surface of ovaries, linings of kidney
tubules, and linings of ducts of certain
glands

Page 8 of 27
Page 9 of 27
Simple columnar epithelium
● single layer of cells that are longer than

they are wide
– nucleus located near basement mem.
● ciliated or nonciliated
● some have microvilli
● goblet cells = secrete mucus
● absorption, secretion, protection
● linings of the uterus, stomach, and
intestine

Page 10 of 27
Page 11 of 27
Pseudostratified columnar
epithelium
● appear stratified b/c nuclei are at 2 or
more levels
– NOT stratified b/c all cells touch basement
mem.
● ciliated
● goblet cells
● protection, secretion, movement of mucus
● linings of respiratory system

Page 12 of 27
Page 13 of 27
Stratified squamous epithelium
● many layers of flattened cells

● named based on appearance of top layer of
cells
● protection
● outer layers of skin, linings of oral cavity,
throat, vagina, and anal canal

Page 14 of 27
Page 15 of 27
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
● 2 or 3 layers of cuboidal cells

● protection
● linings of larger ducts of mammary
glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and
pancreas

Page 16 of 27
Page 17 of 27
Stratified columnar epithelium
● protection and secretion

● vas deferens, part of the male urethra,
parts of the pharynx (throat)

Page 18 of 27
Page 19 of 27
Transitional epithelium
● can stretch
● distensibility (stretching), protection
● inner lining of urinary bladder and linings
of the ureters and part of urethra

Page 20 of 27
Page 21 of 27
Glandular epithelium
● cells that are specialized to produce and

secrete substances into ducts or into body
fluids
● gland = 1 or more cuboidal or columnar
cell
● secretion
● salivary glands, sweat glands, endocrine
glands

Page 22 of 27
Page 23 of 27
Exocrine vs. Endocrine
● exocrine = secrete sub. into ducts that

open onto surfaces
– skin or linings of digestive tract
● endocrine = secrete sub. into tissue fluid
or blood
– hormones

Page 24 of 27
Exocrine glands
● merocrine = release watery, protein-rich

fluid by exocytosis
– salivary glands, sweat glands
● apocrine = lose small portions of their cell
body during secretion
– mammary glands, ear wax
● holocrine = entire cell lysis (breaks apart)
during secretion
– sebaceous glands of the skin

Page 25 of 27
Page 26 of 27
Serous vs. Mucous
● serous = typically watery with lots of

enzymes
– lubrication
● mucous = mucus
– digestive and respiratory systems
– protection
