Human Anatomy & Physiology Human A&P Laboratory Manual Volume 1: Second Custom Edition for APSU Lab 3: Tissue Classification, Body Membranes and Skin Lab 3 Activities 1. Learn the characteristics of the four main tissue types including their developmental origins 2. Review histology slides illustrating the variations of the four main tissue types 3. Review the major body membranes 4. Review histology slides illustrating the structure of skin 5. Review skin model to reinforce understanding of the structure of skin Embryonic Germ Layers and the Primary Tissue Types They Produce (Cell division and differentiation) Fertilized egg General Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues • High Cellularity: densely packed into layer(s) with little extracellular matrix • Polarity – two distinct sides • apical surface facing a space (or potential space) • basal surface supported by connective tissue • Specialized Contacts – intercellular junctions attach cells together • Innervated but avascular (no direct blood supply) • Regeneration – cells replaced at a high rate • Derived from any of three embryonic germ layers Classification of Epithelial Tissues by the Shape of Cells Classification of Epithelial Tissues by the Number of Layers • Simple epithelia • simple squamous • simple cuboidal • simple columnar • Stratified types named according to cell shape of the apical layer • Stratified squamous Classification of Epithelial Tissues by the Number of Layers • Note: some types do not fit well into this scheme: • Pseudostratified = “falsely” stratified • Transitional > changes shape Squamous epithelial (cheek) cells (scraped from stratified squamous epithelium) Slide #3 © Lisa A.

Caviness Blood Cells Slide #20 Muscle Tissues • Characteristics of muscle tissues • High degree of cellularity • Cells contain contractile proteins • Well vascularized • From mesoderm (mostly) Muscle Tissues: Skeletal (SLIDE 21) © Lisa A. Caviness Skeletal Muscle Cross-sectioned Long-sectioned © Lisa A. Caviness Muscle Tissues: Cardiac Muscle Types • Skeletal muscle • attached to bones Slide #21 • multinucleate • voluntary • fibers are parallel and cylindrical • Cardiac muscle • most of the heart wall • single nucleus • involuntary • branched cylinders connected by intercalated discs Slide #22 Muscle Tissues: Smooth (SLIDE 23) Smooth Muscle • non-striated • walls of hollow organs: blood vessels, digestive tract, airways, bladder • involuntary • single nucleus • spindle shaped Nervous Tissue • Two basic cell types: Slide #24 • neurons • transmit electrochemical signals • cell body (soma) and extensions • dendrites (highly branched) – carry incoming signal • axon (long, usually single strand) – carry outgoing signal • Neuroglia • Support neurons © Lisa A.
