SIMPLE EPITHELIUM
 SIMPLE SQUAMOUS
 SIMPLE CUBOIDAL
 SIMPLE COLUMNAR
 CILIATED SIMPLE COLUMNAR
 PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM

• Single layer of flattened cells

• Simple squamous lines the

lung alveoli, the parietal layer
of the Bowman’s capsule in
the kidneys

• Cheek cells
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM

• similar height and width with

round, centrally located nuclei

• certain ducts of the major salivary

glands and the pancreas,
collecting tubules of the kidney,
some follicles of the thyroid gland
and the surface of the ovary
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

 simple columnar epithelium is

consist if single layer of tall cells
 the nuclei of the cells forms a
single row

 simple columnar epithelium lines

the stomach, intestines, and large
ducts of some exocrine glands
CILIATED SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

 in some organs, the cells that

comprise the simple columnar
epithelium are provided with cilia

 these ciliated simple columnar

epithelium typically lines the
uterus and oviducts
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

 Single layer of tall or columnar

cells

 various-shaped cells

 nuclei: found in various levels

 membranous and spongy parts

of the male urethra
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
STRATIFIED EPITHELIUM
 STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS (KERATINIZED)
 STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS (NONKERATINIZED)
 STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL
 STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
 TRANSITIONAL
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM (KERATINIZED)

• The outermost layer is

composed of tightly packed
dead cells filled with the
protein keratin.

• The layer of keratin-filled cells

acts as water-proofing.
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM (NON KERATINIZED)

 The cells in the most superficial

layer are flattened but
nucleated
 non-keratinized squamous
epithelium lines the moist
internal cavities such as the oral
cavity(mouth) and esophagus
STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM

• two or more layers of cuboidal

cells

• often lines the larger ducts of

some glands such as the major
salivary glands and sweat
glands
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

 consist of columnar cells on the

superficial layer and cuboidal cells
on the deep layer
 stratified columnar epithelium is
found in the large ducts of some
glands such as the parotid glands
 it is also seen in the conjunctiva of
the eyes
 they function for both protective
and mucus secretion
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM

 type of stratified epithelium

which are unique to mammals
 they manifest features that are
in between stratified squamous
and stratified cuboidal epithelia
 it is also known as urothelium
 it lines the urinary passages
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
 DENSE COLLAGENOUS
 DENSE ELASTIC
 LOOSE COLLAGENOUS
DENSE COLLAGENOUS
 DENSE IRREGULAR COLLAGENOUS
 DENSE REGULAR COLLAGENOUS
DENSE IRREGULAR COLLAGENOUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE

 collagen fibers has no definite

orientation

 found in areas where resistance to

forces from different directions is
needed

dermis of the skin

capsule of some
organs
 sheath of large nerves
DENSE REGULAR COLLAGENOUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE
DENSE ELASTIC
 DENSE REGULAR ELASTIC
DENSE REGULAR ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE

 has abundant elastic fibers

among its collagen fibers
 elastic fibers allow the tissue to
stretch and recoil

 vocal cords
 elastic connective tissue of blood
vessel walls
LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
 AREOLAR
 ADIPOSE
 RETICULAR
AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE

 Fine network of fibers

 Loose packing, support
and nourishment
 Packing between glands,
muscles and nerves,
attaches the skin to
underlying tissues
AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
ADIPOSE TISSUE
 Also known as fat cells

 Full of lipid that the

cytoplasm is pushed to the
periphery of the cell

 Packing material; thermal

insulator; energy storage

 around kidneys, surface of

the colonl mammary
glands
RETICULAR TISSUE
 Fine network of reticular fibers
irregularly arranged

 Superstructure for lymphatic and

hematopoietic tissues

 Lymph nodes, spleen, Bone

marrow
SUPPORTING CONNECTIVE
TISSUE
 HYALINE CARTILAGE
 FIBROCARTILAGE
 COMPACT BONE
  Collagen fibers are small and
HYALINE CARTILAGE evenly dispersed in the matrix

 Allows growth of long bones;

provides rigidity with some
flexibility in the trachea, bronchi,
ribs, and nose

 Growing long bones; Cartilage

rings of the respiratory system
FIBROCARTILAGE
 Collagen fibers similar to hyaline
cartilage
 Fibers are more numerous than
in other cartilages
 Arranged in thick bundles

 Flexible; capable of wothstanding

considerable pressure

 Intervertebral disks; Knees;

Temporomandibular joints
COMPACT BONE
 Hard, bony matrix
 Many osteocytes (Not seen)
 Matrix is organized into layers
called lamellae

 Provides great strength and

support

 All bones
CANCELLOUS BONE
 Also known as spongy bone
 Less dense than the compact
bone
FLUID CONNECTIVE TISSUE
 BLOOD
BLOOD
BLOOD
 Blood cells and a fluid matrix

 Transports O2, CO2 and other

substances
 Protects the body from infection
 Involved in temperature
regulation

 Within the vessels; interstitial

spaces
MUSCLE TISSUE
 SKELETAL MUSCLE
 CARDIAC MUSCLE
 SMOOTH MUSCLE
SKELETAL MUSCLE
 Cells/fibers appear striated
(banded)
 Cells are large, long and
cylindrical with many nuclei

 Movement (Voluntary)

 Attached to the bones/ other

connective tissues
SKELETAL MUSCLE
CARDIAC MUSCLE
 Cylindrical and striated;
single nucleus
 Branched and connected to
one another by
intercalated disks
