Tissues
  1. Cells are organized in layers or groups to form tissues
    1. intercellular junctions are specialized connect cells.
      1. Tight junction → Close space between cells by fusing cell membranes
        1. Desmosomes → Bind cells by forming “spot welds” between cell membranes
          1. Gap Junction → Form tubular channels between cells that allow the exchange of substances
        2. Four types of human tissue
          1. Epithelial
            1. Function → protection,secretion,absorption,excretion Location → covers body surface, covers and lines internal organs, compose glands. Characteristics → lack blood vessels, cells readily divide, cells are tightly packed together.
            2. Connective
              1. Function → bind,support,protect,fill spaces,store fat,produce blood cells Location → widely distributed throughout the body Characteristics → Mostly have a good blood supply, cells are farther apart than epithelial cells, extracellular matrix in betw
              2. Muscle
                1. Function → movement Location → attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, heart Characteristics → Able to contract in response to specific stimuli
                2. Nervous
                  1. Function → conduct impulses Location → brain, spinal cord, nerves Characteristics → cells communicate with each other and other body parts
                  2. Epithelial Tissues → Epithelium
                    1. Location Covers all free body surfaces Forms the inner lining of body cavities Lines hollow organs
                      1. A basement membrane anchors epithelium to connective tissue.
                        1. Cancer cells secrete a substance that dissolves the basement membrane,enabling the cells to invade other tissue layers (metastasis)
                          1. Cancer cells also produce fewer adhesion proteins (help cells to “stick” together) which allows them to spread into surrounding tissues.
                      2. COVERING & LINING EPITHELIA
                        1. Simple Squamous
                          1. D: One thin layer of flat cells (easily damaged) F: Diffusion,Filtration ,secretion L:Avoli of the lungs,kidney glomeruli,lining the heart
                          2. Simple Cuboidal
                            1. D: One layer of cube shaped cells F:Secretion and absorption L:Small glands,kidney tubules and ovary surfaces
                            2. Simple Columnar
                              1. D: One layer of elongated cells. They can be ciliated or nonciliated. (Ciliated = tiny hairs)(non ciliated= contains microvilli) F: Absorption and Secretion L: non ciliated Found mainly in the lining of the digestive tract. Ciliated Found in the small broncus tubes.
                              2. Simple Pseudostratified
                                1. D: One layer of cells that are attached basement membrane, cells at different heights F: Secretion and movement of mucus L: Ciliated in respiratory tract
                                2. Stratified Squamous
                                  1. D: Several layers of cells,top layers is flattened,thickest layer of epithelial tissue F: Protection L: Keratinized found on epidermis nonkeratinized found on mouth,
                                  2. Stratified Cuboidal
                                    1. D: Several cube shape layer F: protection L: Found in largest ducts of sweat glands
                                    2. Stratified Columnar
                                      1. D: Several layers,top layer contains elongated cells F: Protection and secretion L:Very rare in the body,it lines part of the urethra,large ducts of some glands
                                      2. Stratified Transitional
                                        1. D: Several layers of cells that can be stretched. F:Allows for distention of urinary organs L: It is found lining surfaces of organs subjected to stretch, such as the bladder, the ureters and part of the urethra.
                                    3. Connective tissue
                                      1. Connective tissue connect, supports, protects, provides frameworks, fills spaces, stores fat, produces blood cells, protects against infection, and helps repair damaged tissues. Connective tissue cells usually have considerable extracellular matrix between them. This extracellular matrix consists of fibers and a ground substance (gel-like material).
                                        1. Fibroblasts produce collagen and elastic fibers Macrophages are phagocytes (“eat cells”) Mast cells may release heparin and histamine
                                          1. Major Cell Types
                                            1. Connective Tissue Fibers
                                              1. Collagen fibers have a great tensile strength. Elastic fibers are composed of elastin and are stretchy. Reticular fibers are fine collagen fibers.
                                              2. Loose Connective Tissue
                                                1. Areolar → forms thin membranes between organs and binds them together. Found beneath the skin and surrounds organs Adipose → stores fat, cushions, and insulates. Found beneath the skin; in certain abdominal membranes; and around the kidneys, heart, and various joints. Reticular → thin branched reticular fibers. Supports the walls of the liver and spleen.
                                                2. Dense Connective Tissue
                                                  1. Dense Regular → strong collagen fibers that bind structures as parts of tendons and ligaments. Dense Irregular → thicker, randomly distributed collagen fibers and is found in the dermis.
