Epithelial tissue is crucial for organizing the body's complex systems, creating order and separation to ensure proper functioning. It consists of different types of cells like squamous, cuboidal, and columnar, each serving specific functions based on their shape and layering.
Role of Epithelial Tissue in Organ Function
Concepts covered:Epithelial Tissue, Organ Function, Polarity, Selective Permeability, Nutrient Absorption
Epithelial tissue not only protects the body but also maintains order within organs by forming selectively permeable boundaries for absorption, filtration, and excretion. The distinct polarity of epithelial cells allows for functions like nutrient absorption in the small intestines and waste filtration in the kidneys.
Question 1
Why is epithelial tissue important in kidneys?
Question 2
What is the function of the basal side?
Question 3
What is the apical side exposed to?
Glandular Epithelium: Endocrine and Exocrine Glands
Concepts covered:Glandular Epithelium, Endocrine Glands, Exocrine Glands, Epithelial Tissue Classification, Gland Formation
Glandular epithelium forms endocrine glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream and exocrine glands that secrete substances into ducts leading outside the body. The chapter discusses the classification, structure, and functions of epithelial tissue, emphasizing its crucial role in maintaining bodily boundaries and gland formation.
Question 4
How is proper epithelial tissue classified?
Question 5
What type of gland secretes hormones into the bloodstream?
Question 6
Which secretion is an example of an exocrine product?
