  types in adults

KEY CONCEPT

• Tissues are collections of cells and cell
  products that perform specific, limited functions
• 4 tissue types form all the structures of the
  human body
• epithelial, connective, muscle, and neural

7
Epithelial Tissues

• 2 categories
• Epithelia
• layers of cells covering internal or external
  surfaces
• Glands
• structures that produce fluid secretions

• Neuroglia Cells
• Support, repair, and supply nutrients to nervous
  tissue
• Neurons
• Transmit information
• Up to 3 ft long
• Large soma (cell body)
• Large nucleus, visible nucleoli
• Many dendrites receive info
• One axon transmits info
• No Cell division

112
Cell Parts of a Neuron

• Cell body
• contains the nucleus and nucleolus
• Dendrites
• short branches extending from the cell body
• receive incoming signals
• Axon (nerve fiber)
• long, thin extension of the cell body
• carries outgoing electrical signals to their
  destination

113
Injuries affect on tissues of the body.
114
Tissue Injuries and Repair

• Tissues respond to injuries to maintain
  homeostasis
• Cells restore homeostasis with 2 processes
• inflammation
• Regeneration (repair)
• Inflammation
• Prevent spread of injury or infection
• Characterized by swelling, redness, warmth and
  pain
• Process to remove necrotic cells and infectious
  agents

115
The Process of Inflammation
Damaged Cells Release prostaglandins
Undergo necrosis Trigger inflammation
Endothelial Cells Vessels leak and plasma
enters wounds delivering leukocytes and
clotting proteins
Fibroblasts migrate to the wound and are
stimulated to secrete collagen - form a fiber
scar to reinforce the clot and begin
repair Damaged tissue is Repaired or Replaced
116
Repair or Replacement

• Damaged tissue is repaired or replaced depending
  on the injury and type of tissue
• Regeneration
• replacement of collagen with original tissue type
• repair will not be visible
• Fibrosis
• Visible scar of collagen
• Tissue is completely replaced by a dense collagen
  patch
• Tissue type function is lost at the site of the
  scar

Aging and Tissue Structure

• Speed and efficiency of tissue repair decreases
  with age, due to
• slower rate of energy consumption (metabolism)
• hormonal alterations
• reduced physical activity

119
Effects of Aging

• Chemical and structural tissue changes
• thinning epithelia and connective tissues
• increased bruising and bone brittleness
• joint pain and broken bones
• cardiovascular disease
• mental deterioration

120
Aging and Cancer

• Cancer rates increase with age
• 1 in 4 people in the U.S. develop cancer
• cancer is the 2 cause of death in the U.S.
• environmental chemicals and cigarette smoke can
  cause cancer

121
Injury and Cancer

• Repeat or chronic
• Inflammation causes damage
• Dysplasia change in normal shape, size,
  organization of tissue cells (reversible)
• Metaplasia more serious changes, abnormal
  division of stem cells (reversible)
• Anaplasia breakdown of tissue organization,
  genetic abnormalities of stem cells
  (irreversible)
• Cancer uncontrolled growth

122
Which type of muscle tissue has small, tapering
cells with single nuclei and no obvious
striations?
A. skeletal B. cardiac C. smooth D. all of the
above
123
A tissue contains irregularly shaped cells with
many fibrous projections, some several
centimeters long. These are probably which type
of cell?
A. neuroglia B. neurons C. myocytes D.
adipocytes
124
If skeletal muscle cells in adults are incapable
of dividing, how is new skeletal muscle formed?

1. through the enlarging and splitting of existing
   cells
2. through the atrophy of existing cells
3. through the addition of new striations
4. through the division and fusion of satellite cells

SUMMARY

• Organization of specialized cells into tissues

127
SUMMARY

• cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)
• cell junctions (tight junctions, gap junctions
  and desmosomes)
• Maintenance of epithelia
• germinative cells stem cells

  cuboidal)

128
SUMMARY

• Classification of epithelial glands
• by method of secretion (exocrine or endocrine)
• by type of secretions (merocrine, apocrine,
  holocrine)
• by organization (unicellular or multicellular)
• by structure (related to branches and ducts)
• The functions of connective tissues
• Structure, transport, protection, support,
  connections, and energy storage
