I. Introduction to Epithelium –provides a barrier between internal and external environments for protection of internal environment against changing environment. Epithelium is ideal due to its unique design.<\/em><\/p>\n

II.\u00a0Tissues<\/strong>–\u00a0a group of cells that work together to perform a function<\/em><\/p>\n

A. Histology<\/strong>–\u00a0the study of tissues<\/em><\/p>\n

B. Epithelial tissue<\/strong>–\u00a0covers and lines organs; glands<\/em><\/p>\n

C. Connective tissue<\/strong>–\u00a0the most abundant tissue that connects, supports, fills spaces and transports materials (e.g. blood).<\/em><\/p>\n

D. Muscle tissue<\/strong>–\u00a0contraction and movement<\/em><\/p>\n

E. Neural tissue<\/strong>– communication, transmits information<\/em><\/p>\n

III. Location and general function of epithelium<\/p>\n

A. Covering body surfaces, lining organs, lining body cavities and passageways<\/p>\n

B. Protects underlying structures<\/p>\n

C. Some epithelia are impermeable barriers, some are easily crossed, and some are absorptive surfaces<\/p>\n

D. Glands<\/p>\n

IV. Cellular features of epithelium<\/p>\n

A. Tight junctions<\/strong>– region in which adjacent cells are bound together by fusion of the outer phospholipid layer of their cell membranes. It is like a tight zipper that makes it nearly impossible for some substances to pass between cells.<\/em><\/p>\n

B. Apical (free<\/em>) and base (attached<\/em>) surfaces<\/p>\n

C. Avascular tissue<\/p>\n

D. Regeneration ability<\/p>\n

E. Basement membrane –between base of epithelium and underlying connective tissue<\/em><\/p>\n

V. Solute and water movement across\/between epithelial cells; Four features of transport epithelium:<\/p>\n

A. Asymmetric distribution of transporters –different membrane proteins at apical vs. basal layers<\/em><\/p>\n

B. Tight junctions –governs movement between cells<\/em><\/p>\n

C. Epithelial tissue is diverse –many types specialized to function such as absorption, structural support….<\/em><\/p>\n

D. Numerous mitochondria –provide energy for high demands of energy involved with transport<\/em><\/p>\n

E. Transcellular transport<\/strong>–\u00a0this is when solutes,or water, move across epithelial tissue by traveling through the epithelial cell<\/em><\/p>\n

F. Paracellular transport<\/strong>–\u00a0this is when solutes, or water, move between adjacent cells. Tight junctions can only allow smaller molecules (ions, water) to pass through the protein connections<\/em><\/p>\n

G. Leaky epithelium<\/strong>–\u00a0these are tissues that frequently permit paracellular transport. Found in kidney, small intestine<\/em><\/p>\n

H. Tight epithelium<\/strong>–\u00a0these are tissues that conduct minimal paracellular transport through tight junctions.<\/em><\/p>\n

I. Water movement follows osmotic forces.Water moves by transcellular and paracellular transport.<\/em><\/p>\n
