Cells and tissues
Structure and function of cellsOrganization of cells into tissues

A “generalized” cellAll living things are made of cells
![Page 3: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Major components of the cell
• Membrane• Nucleus• Cytoplasm
– Cytosol– Organelles
![Page 4: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The plasma membrane controls the movement of materials into and out of cells
![Page 5: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The nucleus
• Most cells have one nucleus
• Contains chromosomes (genetic material)
• Nucleolus• Nuclear pores control
movement across membrane

Components of the cytosol
• Cytosol– Fluid part of cell– Many ions, proteins, etc. dissolved in it– Many chemical reactions occur there
• Organelles– Specialized structures– Compartmentalized functions
![Page 7: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Functions of organelles• Movement, support
– cytoskeleton• Protein synthesis
– Ribosomes, rough ER, Golgi
• Waste disposal– lysosomes
• Metabolism– mitochondria
• Genetic information– nucleus
• Transport– Plasma membrane

Cell division
• Reproduction, replacement• Some cells divide rapidly• Some cells divide slowly• Some cells divide abnormally
![Page 9: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Specialized cells form tissues
• Epithelial tissue– One or more continuous sheets of cells– Tightly bound together
• Basement membranes are formed beneath epithelia
• Major functions– Covering or lining– Glandular
![Page 10: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of epithelium
• Epithelium is categorized by shape and arrangement
• General functions: protection, secretion, absorption
![Page 11: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some types of epithelium
• Simple squamous– Lines blood vessels,
alveoli, etc.– Materials move
through it (diffusion, osmosis)
• Simple columnar– Lines intestines– Secretion and
absorption
![Page 12: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
More epithelium
• Stratified squamous– Skin, mouth,
esophagus, vagina– Protection
• Pseudostratified ciliated columnar– Upper respiratory tract– Cilia help move mucus

Connective tissue
• Protection• Insulation• Compartmentalization
• Component of body membranes– Cutaneous– Serous– Mucous– synovial
![Page 14: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Types of connective tissue
• Loose• Dense• Cartilage• Bone• Blood and lymph
• See plates starting p. 63

Examples of connective tissue
![Page 16: Cells and tissues](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816168550346895dd0f316/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Membranes
• Cutaneous– Covers the body– Keratinized cells
• Serous– Line peritoneal,
pleural, pericardial cavities
• Mucous– Line passageways
that connect to the exterior
• Synovial– At joints– Anti-inflammatory
function

Muscular tissue
• Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
• Voluntary or involuntary
• Location in body
• See table 3.4

Cardiac and smooth muscle

Nervous tissue
• Neurons • Glial cells• Conduct electrical
stimuli• Support neurons

Summary
• Living organisms are composed of one or more cells
• Cells are organized into tissues• Type and arrangement of cells (and
extracellular materials) are unique to the tissue
• Organs are formed from tissues that perform characteristic functions
