Many epithelial cells differ in internal organization along an 
axis between the apical surface and the basal lamina. The 
apical surface frequently bears microvilli; less often, it may 
have cilia or (very rarely) stereocilia. A single cell typically 
has only one type of process; cilia and microvilli are shown 
together to highlight their relative proportions. Tight 
junctions prevent movement of pathogens or diffusion of 
dissolved materials between the cells. Folds of plasmalemma 
near the base of the cell increase the surface area exposed to 
the basal lamina. Mitochondria are typically concentrated at 
the basolateral region, probably to provide energy for the 
cell’s transport activities.

Epithelial Tissue 
• Maintaining the Integrity of the Epithelium 
• Three factors involved in maintenance 
• Intercellular connections 
• Attachment to the basal lamina 
 Lamina lucida: a clear layer of proteins that provides a 
barrier that restricts the movement of proteins and other 
large molecules. 
 Lamina densa: provided by underlying connective tissue 
and gives strength to basal lamina. 
• Epithelial maintenance and renewal is self-perpetuated

Epithelial Tissue 
• Glandular Epithelia 
• Many epithelia are mixed with gland cells 
• Types of glands 
• Serous glands: secrete watery fluids rich in 
enzymes 
• Mucous glands: secrete glycoproteins (mucins) 
that absorb water to produce mucus 
• Mixed exocrine glands: contain both serous and 
mucous secretions 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epithelial Tissue 
• Glandular Epithelia (continued) 
• Endocrine glands 
• Secretions enter into the blood or lymph 
• Exocrine glands 
• Secretions travel through ducts to the epithelial 
surface

Epithelial Tissue 
• Modes of Secretion 
• Apocrine Secretion 
• Secretions released via the loss of 
cytoplasm 
• Example: 
• Cells of the mammary glands for milk secretion

Golgi apparatus 
Secretion Regrowth 
Apocrine secretion involves the loss 
of cytoplasm. Inclusions, secretory 
vesicles, and other cytoplasmic 
components are shed at the apical 
surface of the cell. The gland cell 
then undergoes a period of growth 
and repair before releasing 
additional secretions.
Epithelial Tissue 
• Modes of Secretion 
• Holocrine Secretion 
• Secretions released upon bursting of the 
glandular cells 
• Example: 
• Cells of the sebaceous glands

Cells burst, releasing 
cytoplasmic contents 
Cells produce secretion, 
increasing in size 
Cell division replaces 
lost cells 
Stem cell 
Holocrine secretion occurs as superficial gland 
cells break apart. Continued secretion involves the 
replacement of these cells through the mitotic 
division of underlying stem cells.
Connective Tissues 
• All connective tissues have three main 
components: 
• Specialized cells 
• Matrix 
• The matrix is the collective term for the extracellular 
component of any connective tissue that is made of protein 
fibers and the ground substance 
 Collagen fibers are very long, cylindrical fibers made up of three 
subunits coiled around one another. 
 Collagen is the most common and strongest fiber. 
 Reticular fibers are a single unit of collagen proteins. 
 Elastic fibers contain the protein elastin. 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Connective Tissues 
• Functions of Connective Tissue 
• Establishing the structural framework of the 
body 
• Transporting fluid and dissolved materials 
• Protecting organs 
• Supporting, surrounding, and connecting 
other tissues 
• Storing energy 
• Defending the body from microorganisms 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Connective Tissues 
• Classification of Connective Tissue 
• Connective tissue proper 
• Has a matrix of fibers (loose fibers and dense 
fibers) 
• Fluid connective tissue 
• Has a matrix of liquid (blood and lymph) 
• Supporting connective tissue 
• Has a matrix consisting of a gel or a solid (cartilage 
and bone)

Red blood cells White blood cells Platelets 
Red blood cells are 
responsible for the 
transport of oxygen 
(and, to a lesser degree, 
of carbon dioxide) in 
the blood. 
Red blood cells 
account for roughly half 
the volume of whole 
blood, and give blood 
its color.

White blood cells, or leukocytes 
(LOO-ko-sıts; leuko-, white), help defend the 
body from infection and disease. 
Monocytes are 
related to the free 
macrophages in 
other tissues. 
Lymphocytes are 
relatively rare in the 
blood, but they are 
the dominant cell 
type in lymph. 
Eosinophil 
Neutrophil 
Basophil 
Eosinophils and neutrophils 
are phagocytes. Basophils 
promote inflammation much 
like mast cells in other 
connective tissues. 
The third type of formed 
element consists of 
membrane-enclosed 
packets of cytoplasm 
called platelets. 
These cell fragments 
function in the clotting 
response that seals 
leaks in diamaged or 
broken blood vessels.

The Connective Tissue Framework of the Body 
• Connective tissue creates the internal 
framework of the body 
• Layers of connective tissue connect 
organs with the rest of the body 
• Layers of connective tissue are called 
fascia 
• Superficial fascia 
• Deep fascia 
• Subserous fascia 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Connective Tissue Framework of Body 
Superficial Fascia 
• Between skin and 
underlying organs 
• Areolar tissue and 
adipose tissue 
• Also known as 
subcutaneous layer or 
hypodermis 
Deep Fascia 
• Forms a strong, fibrous 
internal framework 
• Dense connective tissue 
• Bound to capsules, 
tendons, ligaments, etc. 
Subserous Fascia 
• Between serous

Muscle Tissue 
• Three types of muscle tissue 
• Skeletal muscle 
• Has striations 
• Smooth muscle 
• Ends of the cells are pointy 
• Cardiac muscle 
• Has intercalated discs 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Muscle Tissue 
• Skeletal muscle 
• Muscles that move the skeleton 
• Voluntary control 
• Smooth muscle 
• Muscles that line the digestive tract, respiratory 
tract, and blood vessels 
• Involuntary control 
• Cardiac muscle 
• Found in the myometrium of the heart 
• Muscles cells that contract rhythmically

LOCATIONS: Combined with connective tissues and neural 
tissue in skeletal muscles 
FUNCTIONS: Moves or stabilizes the position of the skeleton; 
guards entrances and exits to the digestive, respiratory, and 
urinary tracts; generates heat; protects internal organs

Smooth Muscle Tissue 
Cells are short, spindle-shaped, and 
nonstriated, with a single, central 
nucleus

LOCATIONS: Found in the walls of blood vessels 
and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive 
organs 
FUNCTIONS: Moves food, urine, and reproductive 
tract secretions; controls diameter of respiratory 
passageways; regulates diameter of blood vessels

Striations 
Cells are short, 
branched, and striated, 
usually with a single 
nucleus; cells are 
interconnected by 
intercalated discs. 
LOCATION: Heart 
FUNCTIONS: Circulates blood; 
maintains blood (hydrostatic) pressure 
LM ´ 450 
Cardiac Muscle Cells. Cardiac muscle cells differ from skeletal muscle fibers in 
three major ways: size (cardiac muscle cells are smaller), organization (cardiac 
muscle cells branch), and number of nuclei (a typical cardiac muscle cell has one 
centrally placed nucleus). Both contain actin and myosin filaments in an organized 
array that produces the striations seen in both types of muscle cell.
Neural Tissue 
• Neural Tissue 
• Specialized to conduct electrical signals 
through the body 
• Two types of neural cells 
• Neurons are the cells that actually transmit the 
impulse (electrical signals) 
• Neuroglia are the supporting cells of the neural 
tissue; these cells protect the neurons

Tissues, Nutrition, and Aging 
• Repair and maintenance become less 
efficient as one ages 
• Hormonal changes and lifestyle changes also 
affect the functioning of tissues 
• Epithelia become thinner and connective 
tissues become fragile 
• Cardiac muscle cells and neural tissue 
cannot regenerate; therefore, relatively minor 
damage adds up over time, sometimes 
causing severe health issues
