Types/Functions of Epithelial Tissue

• Types of epithelium
• Covering and Lining Epithelium
• External Surfaces, e.g., skin, Internal surfaces
• Glandular Epithelium

• Functions of Epithelial Tissue
• Physical protection
• Control of permeability
• Secretion, Absorption, Filtration
• Provide sensation
• Provide specialized secretions (glands)

3
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue

• Specialized contacts with other cells
• Polarity (different ends of cell do different
  things)
• Avascularity (no blood supply)
• Regeneration (can divide to make new cells)
• Cellularity (lots of cells in close contact)

Remember Epithelial tissues always have a free
surface and a basement membrane
4
Basal Lamina
Formerly called Basement membrane
Two components Lamina Lucida - glycoproteins
and fine protein filaments - Barrier for passage
of substances from underlying tissue
into epithelium Lamina Densa - bundles of
coarse protein fibers - gives basal lamina its
strength
Lamina thin layer

Physiology, Benjamin Cummings, 2004

Classification of Epithelial Tissues
Epithelial tissues are classified according to
both their

• Shape
• Squamous (Thin, flat, irregular in shape)
• Cuboidal (Square or cuboidal)
• Columnar (Rectangular, tall)
• Type of layering (stratification)
• Simple (one layer)
• Stratified (two or more layers)
• Note that classification of stratified epithelium
  is based on the shape of the superficial, not
  deep, layers

6
Characteristics of Epithelial TissueSpecialized
Contacts
Tight junction forces substances to go through
cells, rather than being able to pass between
them Gap junction allow rapid passage of small
molecules/ions between cells Desmosome binds
cells together firmly so they stay connected

Review of Epithelial Tissues

• Glands are specialized epithelium
• Secrete on to a surface (exocrine)
• Secrete into a duct (exocrine)
• Secrete into the blood (endocrine)

• Exocrine glands have several different mechanisms
  of secretion
• Merocrine
• Release of product from vesicles by exocytosis
• Apocrine
• Loss of cytoplasm containing secretion Apical
  portion of cytoplasm is shed
• Holocrine
• Entire cell is packed with secretion and then
  bursts

10
Membranes
A membrane is a combination of epithelium and
connective tissue that covers and protects other
structures and tissues. Technically, then, a
membrane is an organ.

• Serous
• line body cavities that lack openings to outside
• reduce friction
• inner lining of thorax and abdomen
• cover organs of thorax and abdomen
• secrete serous fluid

• Mucous
• line tubes and organs that open to outside world
• lining of mouth, nose, throat, digestive tract,
  etc.
• secrete mucus

• Synovial
• surround joint cavities

• Cutaneous
• covers body
• skin

• Use actin (thin) and myosin (thick) for
  contraction
• Three types of muscle tissue
• Cardiac (involuntary)
• Skeletal
• Smooth

Introduction to Inflammation
Restoration of homeostasis after tissue injury or
infections involves two processes 1)
inflammation and 2) repair.
Hallmarks of inflammation Redness, heat, pain,
swelling, and loss of function (Inflammation
-itis)

Functions of the Integumentary System

• Functions of the integument
• Protection (from mechanical/chemical/bacterial
  damage, UV radiation)
• Temperature regulation (extreme heat, extreme
  cold) and Fluid conservation
• Excretion
• Vitamin D production
• Sensation (touch, pressure)

Layers of the Epidermis - Overview
25
Thick and Thin Skin
Thin (0.07-0.12 mm)(epidermal thickness)
Thick (0.8-1.4 mm) (epidermal thickness)
Thick skin - palms of hands, soles of feet five
epidermal layers
Thin skin - everywhere else four epidermal
layers (no s. lucidum)
Figure from Martini, Anatomy Physiology,
Prentice Hall, 2001
26
Cells of the Epidermis

• Epidermis of the skin is classified as a
  keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
• Cells of the epidermis include
• Keratinocytes (90)
• Keratin a tough, fibrous intracellular protein
  (protection)
• Lamellar granules (waterproofing, extracellular)
• Melanocytes (8)
• Produce melanin (protection from UV radiation)
• Langerhans cells (1-2)
• Migrate to skin from bone marrow
• Participate in skins immune response (dendritic
  cells)
• Merkel cells (lt 1)
• Least numerous specialized epithelial cells
• Function in sensation of touch

27
Skin Color

• Genetic Factors
• varying amounts and type of melanin
• varying size/number of melanin granules
• albinos lack melanin (but not melanocytes!)

• Physiological Factors
• dilation of dermal blood vessels (erythema)
• constriction of dermal blood vessels (less pink,
  pale pallor)
• level of oxygenation of blood normal pink
  (fair-skinned) low bluish (cyanosis)
• carotene -gt Vit A (yellow)
• jaundice (yellow)

• Environmental Factors
• sunlight
• UV light from sunlamps
• X rays

28
Skin Color and Melanin
Dark-skinned
Fair-skinned
Melanocytes produce melanin - tyrosine ?
melanin - UV radiation up-regulates production
of melanin - Caucasian vs. dark-skinned
number vs. activity layer of epidermis
Figure from Martini, Fundamentals of Anatomy
Physiology, Pearson Education, 2004

Keratin and Vitamin D

• Keratin
• Protection
• Water resistance
• Vitamin D3 (sunshine vitamin)
• After UV irradiation epidermal cells in s.
  spinosum and s. basale convert a
  cholesterol-related steroid to Vit D3
  (cholecalciferol)
• Vit D3 ? absorption of calcium and phosphorus
  by small intestine

30
Dermis
Papillary layer - areolar connective tissue
(CT) - capillaries and sensory neurons - dermal
papillae - fingerprints (with epi.
ridges) Reticular layer - dense, irregular CT -
collagen fiber bundles extend upward and
downward - also contains elastic fibers and
cells of CT proper - accessory organs of
integumentary system (from epi.) - cleavage or
tension lines - flexure lines
Figure adapted from Martini, Anatomy
Physiology, Prentice Hall, 2001
31
Subcutaneous Layer
Basal lamina
- Stabilization of dermis
- INSULATION
- Areolar and adipose tissue
Also called hypodermis. This is the superficial
fascia.
- Effect of hormones
- Reservoir of blood

  and conditions skin

Sebaceous follicles not associated with hair.
Discharge directly on to skin. On face, back,
chest, nipples and male sex organs.

• absent on palms and soles

35
Sweat Glands

• also called sudoriferous glands

Sweating with wetness diaphoresis

• apocrine (merocrine secr.) glands - associated
  with hair follicles - thick, odorous secretion

• eccrine (merocrine secr.) glands - most
  numerous - palms, soles, forehead, neck,
  back - directly on to surface - watery
  secretion - for thermoregulation

• ceruminous glands

Specialized (apocrine secretion)

• mammary glands

Regulation of Body Temperature
Hyperthermia Abnormally high body
temperature May be caused by - environment
(heat, humidity) - illness (fever gt37.20C,
pyrexia) - anesthesia (malignant h.) Corrected
by loss of heat by radiation, convection,
conduction, evaporation Heat exhaustion
(prostration) - Fatigue - Dizziness -
Headache - Muscle cramps - Nausea - May
lead to heat stroke
38
Regulation of Body Temperature
Hypothermia Abnormally low body temperature (at
least 20C below normal body temp) May be caused
by - exposure to cold (primary) - illness
(secondary) - surgical induction
(clinical) Cardiac arrest is likely if
temperature falls below 28oC (82oF) Corrected by
mechanisms to retain body heat (see left)

Healing of Cuts

2. Scab formation
Tissue repair can occur by either 1)
regeneration healing with tissue that was
originally present 2) fibrosis healing with
scar tissue (carried out by fibroblasts)
