Epithelial tissue Covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. The major function of epithelial tissue includes protection‚ secretion‚ absorption‚ and filtration. The skin is an organ made up of epithelial tissue which protects the body from dirt‚ dust‚ bacteria and other microbes that may be harmful. Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the

SKIN AND THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM CHAPTER 6 Your Name () OVERVIEW This chapter describes the skin and its appendages. It explains the structure and function of the layers of skin (dermis and epidermis) and the hair‚ nails‚ and sweat glands. This chapter also explains how the skin helps regulate body temperature and how it responds to environmental factors‚ such as sunlight and injury. Study of the integumentary system is essential to understanding how the body controls interaction between

ANIMAL TISSUES 1. Classify the animal tissues. On the basis of the function they perform‚ animal tissues are classified into four different types. They are: i) Epithelial tissue ii) Connective tissue iii) Muscular tissue iv) Nervous tissue 2. What are epithelial tissues? What are the characteristic features of these tissues? The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are called epithelial tissues. They also perform the functions of secretion and absorption

Title: Introduction to cell‚ tissues and organ Objectives: 1. To study the different type‚ function‚ structure and histology of cell‚ tissue‚ and organs in human body. 2. To learn how to identify different cell and tissue based on their structure and shape. 3. To learn how to use the microscope properly to observe the slide of different cell and tissue. Introduction: Cell is the basic structural and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals. Cell is the smallest living unit

are two types of skin: thick skin and thin skin. Thick skin is a type of skin that covers body parts prone to trauma and abrasions i.e. palms‚ fingers‚ sole. Thin skin‚ on the other hand‚ covers the rest of our body. The two types of skin share a lot of characteristics‚ but they also have differences which warrant a different classification. They are similar in that both are composed of 3 major layers: the epidermis‚ the dermis‚ and the hypodermis. The epidermis is where the epithelial cells are

Tissues to Tattoos 1. Why do some areas of the body have simple squamous epithelium and other areas have stratified squamous epithelium? Stratified squamous epithelium is used in areas of the body that undergo more abrasion (Epithelial Cells) than then areas of the body that require just having

Tissue Types Amy Chanda Morrison Colorado Christian University Our bodies have four different types of tissues. They are epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. Each one has a specific job to do to keep the body in homeostasis. Patton stated “homeostasis is the relatively constant state maintained by the body” (pg.19). He also stated that “the precise and constant chemical composition of the internal environment must be maintained within very narrow limits‚ or sickness and death will result”

What is skin grafting? Who can it help? How does it work? Be specific Describe both limitations and advancements Skin grafting is necessary when a patient is severely burned‚ which is considered to be a third degree burn. In a third degree burn the epidermis‚ dermis‚ and hypodermis are all affected from this this burn. Third degree burns are the most severe type of bun there is because the affect the epidermis‚ dermis‚ and the subcutaneous layer. After this type of burn the skin may appear charred

The skin is the largest organ in our body. It is made up of 3 layers. The epidermis‚ dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis layer is the skin’s outermost layer. It consists of 5 layers: : stratum basale‚ stratum spinosum‚ stratum granulosum‚ stratum licidum and stratum corneum. The dermis layer consists of the papillary layer and reticular layer that contain collagen fibers. The subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat and connective tissues where blood vessels and nerves can be found. It

Skin Layers 1. Epidermis The epidermis is the outer most layer of skin. It is built up of 5 layers (from the outside in) - stratum corneum is made of dead flat skin cells - stratum licidum - stratum granulosum - stratum spinosum - stratum basale Where cells divide and push previously formed cells into the upper layers. As the cells travel into the higher layers‚ they flatten and die‚ eventually. Specialized Epidermal Cells - melanocyte - produces pigment (melanin) - Langerhans’
