Skin tissue

Epithelial tissues serve many purposes such as protection, secretion, absorbs, and filters what goes through cavities. There are many types of epithelial tissues, such as the epidermis (which is the outer layer of the skin). Epithelial tissues protects the body from bacteria. The epithelial tissues actually removes dust that is ingested during respiration. WOW! Note worthy!

This tissue is made of white and clear cells that store fat droplets, so wherever there is fat there is adipose tissue! This tissue with fat insulates the body and provides cushion and energy. One can identify this tissue by its big white circles that represent the fat cells in the body. An issue with this can become if there becomes too much/big of adipose tissue created because that then would result in obesity.

Epithelial Tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the body’s outer surface and lines the internal closed cavities (including blood vessels) and body tubes that communicate with the exterior (gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts). Epithelium also forms the secretory portion of glands and their ducts. Origin and Characteristics Epithelial tissue is derived from all three embryonic layers. Most epithelia of the skin, mouth, nose, and anus are derived from the ectoderm. Linings of…

Histology of the skin, including epidermal layers, dermis, and hypodermis

The subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia, is the layer of tissue that underlies the skin. The terms originate from subcutaneous in Latin and hypoderm in Greek, both of which mean “beneath the skin,” as it is the deepest layer that rests just above the deep fascia.

Thick Skin - Histology

Papillary layer : Loose connective tissue. Reticular layer : Dense irregular connective tissue. Our skin has two principal layers : epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is composed of epithelial tissue, and the dermis is connective tissue. The dermis supports the epidermis and binds it to the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis), the loose connective tissue directly under the skin. Diagram of different layers of skin : The dermis contains two layers : the outermost papillary layer and the deeper…

"Epithelial tissue is composed of tightly connected cells arranged in one or more layers. Epithelial tissues covers the whole surface of the body (it's your skin!) as well as lining all cavities and forming glands. Epithelial tissues as many functions including protection, sensation, diffusion, secretion, absorption and excretion." http://www.hartnell.edu/tutorials/biology/tissues.html
