Document Summary

Tissue types: there are 4 types of tissues in the body epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue: all epithelial tissue has a basement membrane, which is a selective membrane that regulates substances differing from the underlying connective tissues and supports the epithelial tissue. The bottom layer of the basement membrane is dense connective tissue, which is highly vascularized connective tissue. There are 2 divisions of epithelial tissue: glandular (non-membranous) and membranous. Glandular epithelial tissue: classified by mode of secretion. Endocrine glands: ductless glands that release hormones directly into the extracellular fluid (interstitial fluid and blood plasma) The only type of unicellular exocrine glands in the human body is the goblet cell, and they are dispersed in simple ciliated columnar epithelial tissue, and ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue. Multicellular exocrine glands: all are equipped with ducts; consist of duct systems (simple or compound) and a secretory portion (tubular)
