Characteristics of all Epithelial Tissues 1. Cells are closely associated with little extracellular space 2. Cells are strongly attached via intracellular junctions 3. Line body surfaces and body cavities 4. Specialization - absorption, secretion,sensation, contractility 5. Cells are polarized 6. Epithelial tissues rest on a basement membrane

Basement Membrane = Basal Lamina Functions: 1) Structural attachment of epithelial cells to the CT 2) Compartmentalization. Isolate epithelial cells and muscle cells 3) Filtration. Movement of molecules is in part regulated by ionic charges (particularly important in the kidney) 4) Help to maintain the polarity of the epithelial tissues 5) Tissue scaffolding. Helps to scaffold regeneration (example: during nerve regeneration) Composition Proteoglycans, glycoproteins, collagen. A layer of reticular fibers underlies basement membranes

Review of Epithelial Tissues Highly polarize – structure, migration, secretion, starting with BM Rest on Basement Membrane Some epithelial are stratified or simple of a variety of psudo-stratified Very little intracellular space Lots of junctional complexes : ZO, ZA, Desomsome, HemiDesomsomes, and Gap junctions .

Stem Cells

Nature Cell Biology 9:723

STEM CELL A

B Steady State: n(#) of newly originated cells by the stem cells are equal to the n (#) of dead cells on the surface of the epithelium. Turnover Time: is the time required to change the whole population of epithelial cells (30 days). Radiautography: provides a means to study the turnover of epithelial cells and of other cell types.
