The tissue level of organization
Tissue: - A group of similar cells specialized to perform a set of function.
Histology: - Study of tissue.
Trillions of individual cells make only 200 types of cells of our body.
There are 4 types of tissues:-1- Epithelial, 2- Connective, 3-Muscle,
4- Neural tissue.
1-Epithelial tissue
Contain:-
1-Epithelia: - Are layers of cells that cover internal or external surface.
2- Gland: - Composed of secreting cells derived from epithelia.
1-1-Characteristic of epithelia
1- Cells are bound closely together.
2- A free (apical) surface exposed to external and internal environment.
3- Attachment to underlying connective tissue by a basement membrane.
4- The absence of blood vessels (avascular).
5- Epithelial surface cells continually replaced or regenerated.
2
1-2-Function of epithelial tissue
Provide physical protection
Control permeability
Provide sensation
Produce specialized secretion
— 1- exocrine
2-endocrine
1-3-Intercellular connections
— Epithelial cells hold together by specialized trans-membrane protein called cell
adhesion molecules (CAMs), and thin layer of intercellular cement make cell
junction, light junction, gab junction, and desmosomse.

1-4-The epithelial surface
Contain:-
Microvilli: - increase surface area by 20 time.
Cilia: - beating in one way to move material across the epithelial surface (some
cell contains 250 cilia).
4
1-5-The basement membrane
— It lies between the epithelium and underlying connective tissue, have no cell,
only protein fiber. Adjacent epithelial cells firmly attached to these protein to
provide:-
— 1- Strength and resisting distortion.
— 2- As barriers that restricts the movement of protein and other molecules from
the underlying connective tissue into the epithelium.
5
1-6-The epithelial renewal and repair
— Epithelial cells survive for the short period (1-2 days) so it should replace by
division of stem cells, or germinative cells.
1-7-Classifying epithelia
According to number of cells layers: - Simple and stratified.
According to the shape of exposed cell: - Sequamous, cuboidal, columnar.
Simple epithelium:- Single cells layer present where secretion and
absorption occur GIT, Resp.T, cavities.
Stratified epithelium:- Has many layer present in area exposed to
mechanical stress as skin.
6
1-8-Glandular epithelium
It is a type of epithelium has secretory function, could be:-
-Single cells gland.
-Multiple cells gland.
Classify according to mode of secretion :-
-Merocrine secretion produce Mucous
- Apocrine secretion produce Milk
- Holocrine secretion produce Sebum
Classify according to type of secretion:-
-Serous- enzyme, milk, perspiration through the skin.
-Mucous.
-Mixed.

2-Connective tissues (CT)
— CTs are internal tissues, it is the most diverse tissues of the body as bone,
blood, fat which they have different function.
— CTs have three basic components;
1- specialized cells
2- Protein fiber
3- A fluid known as ground substance Matrix
CTs properties:-
1- Never exposed to environment
2- Have many blood vessels.
3- Have receptor for “pain, pressure, temperature,etc”
2-1-Function:
Support and protection:- protect & surround delicate organs
Transportation of material:- By fluid connection tissue "blood”
Storage of energy reserve:- by fat deposit.
Defense of the body:- by blood W.B.C and lymph
8
2-2-Classifying of (CT)
— Based on physical properties of their matrix, classified in 3 types:-
— 1- CT proper:- have many types of cells with syrupy substances as
“subcutaneous T., fatty T., tendon and ligament”.
— 2- Fluid CT:- Have distinctive population of cells suspended in watery ground
substances and dissolved protein as blood and lymph.
— 3- Supportive CT:- Have less diverse cells population, the ground substance is
dense and closely packed fibers as bone, cartilage. The fibrous matrix of bone
is said to be calcified because of mineral deposits (primarily calcium salts).
—
—
2-2-1- CT proper
— Contain:-
1- Cells:- fibroblast, macrophage, fat cell, mast cell, some of them resident other
mobile.
2- fiber:- collagen, elastic, reticular fiber.
9
3- ground substance:- clear, colorless, viscous syrupy material.
— Types of CT proper:-
A- Loose CT – Adipose CT.
B- Dense CT- regular or irregular dense CT (regular: tendon, ligament, and
irregular subcutaneous tissue).
11
2-2-2- Fluid CT
Blood & lymph are fluid CT which contain:-
1-Cells:- distinct collection of cells RBC, WBC, platelet
2-Matrix contain :- dissolved protein and watery ground substance.
By filtration water and solute moves through capillaries and return to the
blood vessels by lymph vessels after monit0ring by immune system .
2-2-3- Supporting CT
— Bone and cartilage are supporting CT.
2-2-3-1-Cartilage:- Is surround by perichondrium (inner cellular layer &
outer fibrous layer), have no blood vessels. Contain;
- cells- condrocytes in lacunae.
- matrix- as firm gel.
— Types of cartilage:-
A- Hyaline cartilage- have closely placed collagen fiber, it is tough & little flexible ,
exist between rib & sternum, opposing bone surface, trachea
11
B- Elastic cartilage- Have numerous elastic fiber which is extremely resilient &
flexible, exist in auricle, nose, epiglottis, auditory canal.
C- fibrocartilage- dominated by collagen fiber which are densely interwoven,
extremely tough and durable, exist between vertebrae.
12
3-Membranes
Its combination of epithelial and connective tissues that covered & protect
other structures & tissues.
The body have for types of membranes:-
1-mucous membranes.
2-serous membranes.
3-cutaneous membranes.
4-synovial membranes.
13
3-1-Mucous Membranes
Its line cavities that exposed to external environment (e.g. digestive,
respiratory, and urinary tract). The epithelial surface s are kept moist at all
times by mucous secretion or by exposure to fluids such as urine. The
connective tissue under M.M is loose connective tissue.
Many of M. M lined by simple epithelia to perform absorptive or secretory
functions(e.g. columnar epithelium of the digestive tract) other types of
epithelia may involve(e.g. stratified sequamous epithelium of the mouth,
and transitional epithelium of urinary tract.
4-Muscle tissue
It is specialized for contraction.
Muscle cell contraction involves interaction between filaments of myosin
and actin proteins.
There are three types of muscle tissue:-
skeletal , 2- cardiac, 3- smooth M.T.
They have the same contraction mechanism, but differ by their actin &
myosin organization.
16
5-Neural tissue(NT)
— 98% of NT presents in brain and spinal cord, and the control centers for the
nervous system.
— It is specialized for conduction of electrical impulses from one region of the
body to another .
— Consist from neurons “conduct electrical impulse”, and neuroglia.
Neuroglia serve for:-
1- physical protection.
2- maintain the chemical composition of the tissue fluids.
3- supply nutrient to neurons.
4- defend the tissue from infection.
Typical neuron has:-
- cell body, containing large nucleus.
- dendrites, numerous projection from the body received information from
other cells.
- axon, long and slender “nerve fiber” projection carry information to other
cells, and end with synaptic terminals by it communicate with other cells.
