EPITHELIAL TISSUES
College of Medical Laboratory Science
, TOPIC OUTLINE
4. Cell Adaptation
5. Diversity
,4 Major types of tissue
1.Epithelial
2.Connective
3.Muscular
4.Nervous
Cells in epithelia each have:
A. apical side (specialized for transcytosis) and
pinocytosis facing the sheet’s free surface
B. basal side (specialized for exocytosis) facing
a basement membrane and underlying
connective tissue.
, EPITHELIAL TISSUES
Epithelium - tissue in which cells are bound
tightly together structurally and functionally to
form a sheet like or tubular structure
Exhibit
continuous
renewal
