Tissue level of organization
Elita Partosoedarso・2 minutes read
Dr. Alita Partosadarso discusses epithelial tissue organization, highlighting the properties, types, and functions of different epithelial cells, as well as the role of connective tissue in supporting the body's structure and functions. The lecture covers the classification of epithelial tissue based on layers and cell shapes, as well as the different types of glands and cell junctions present in epithelial tissues.
Insights
- Epithelial tissue serves multiple vital functions like protection, sensory perception, secretion, and barrier control, organized into layers with distinct shapes and classifications.
- Connective tissues like fibrocartilage in joints and bone with a rigid extracellular matrix provide structural support and protection, while fluid connective tissues like blood and lymph play essential roles in bodily functions through circulation.

Understanding Epithelial Tissue: Layers and Functions
- Dr. Alita Partosadarso presents the tissue level of organization lecture, focusing on normal versus abnormal cervical epithelium.
- The lecture covers four types of tissues in the human body, with a detailed focus on epithelial tissue and general aspects of connective tissue.
- Epithelial membranes include mucous, serous, and cutaneous types, while connective tissue membranes feature the synovial membrane.
- Epithelial tissue properties include being avascular, undergoing wear and tear, and serving functions like protection, sensory perception, secretion, and barrier control.
- Epithelial tissue is organized into layers, with the basement membrane connecting it to underlying connective tissue.
- Two main types of epithelial tissue are covering and glandular, with glandular epithelium further classified as endocrine or exocrine.
- Cell junctions in epithelial tissues include anchoring junctions (desmosomes, hemidesmosomes, adherence), tight junctions, and gap junctions.
- Epithelial tissue can be categorized based on the number of layers (simple, stratified, pseudostratified, transitional) and the shape of cells (squamous, cuboidal, columnar).
- Transitional epithelium can stretch and change shape, found in the urinary tract.
- Different shapes of epithelial cells include squamous (flat and thin), cuboidal (boxy), and columnar (rectangular).

Epithelial Tissue Types and Gland Secretions
- Simple squamous epithelium is involved in absorption and secretion, found in alveoli, heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.
- Stratified squamous epithelium offers protection with multiple layers, found in various body parts.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium, with one layer and boxy shape, is used for absorption and secretion.
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium, with multiple layers and boxy shape, provides protection.
- Simple columnar epithelium, one layer taller than wide, found in specific locations.
- Stratified columnar epithelium, with multiple layers and rectangular shape, offers protection.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium serves specific functions in certain locations.
- Transitional epithelium, found in the urinary tract, allows organs to expand and stretch.
- Exocrine glands release secretions externally, while endocrine glands release secretions internally.
- Exocrine secretions are released through merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine methods, each with distinct processes and outcomes.

Connective Tissues: Support and Protection in Body
- Fibrocartilage is a resilient type of cartilage found in the knee joint and between vertebrae, providing support for body weight.
- Bone, the hardest connective tissue, supports the body and protects internal organs with a rigid extracellular matrix containing collagen fibers and calcium phosphate.
- Fluid connective tissue includes blood and lymph fluid, flowing through blood vessels and the lymphatic system, crucial for various bodily functions.
