Histology- the study of tissues
4 tissue types Epithelial Tissue Muscle Tissue Nervous Tissue Covers both internal and external surfaces Muscle Tissue Highly specialized tissue designed to contract Nervous Tissue 2 types of cells neurons (carry signal) and neuroglia (care for and support neurons). Connective Tissue Connects, protects, supports, insulated, energy storage, blood formation, & body tissue repair (Scars)
Epithelial Tissue # of layers Cell shape Simple one Stratified >1 Cell shape Cuboidal- Cube shaped Columnar – column shaped Sqamous- squished like a pancake.
Epithelial Tissue- Simple Columnar Squamous Cuboidal
Simple Squamous Cell Membrane Nucleus Single layer of Flattened cells
Simple Cuboidal Cell Membrane Nucleus Basement Membrane Single layer Cube shaped cells
Simple Columnar Single layer Column shaped Cell Membrane Nucleus cells Basement Membrane
Epithelial Tissue- Stratified Squamous Cuboidal Columnar
Stratified Squamous Cell Membrane Nucleus Basement Membrane
Stratified Cuboidal-Not on practical Found: Sweat gland ducts Ovarian follicular cells Salivary gland ducts Function: Secretion Absorption Protection against infection
Stratified Columnar- Not on practical Found: Mammary gland ducts Larynx Portions of the male urethra Function Protection secretion
Exceptions Pseudostratified Ciliated columnar Transitional Epithelium Collapsed Distended
Pseudostratified Ciliated columnar Cell Membrane Nucleus Cilia Basement Membrane Free surface
Transitional Epithelium Nucleus Cell Membrane Basement membrane
Muscle Tissue Highly specialized tissue designed to contract 3 types: Skeletal Muscle Cardiac Muscle Smooth Muscle
Skeletal Muscle Striations Multiple Nuclei Muscle Fibers
Cardiac Muscle Intercalated Disk Nucleus Striations
Smooth Muscle Nucleus Muscle cell
Nervous Tissue Two major cell populations Neurons- specialized cells that receive stimuli and conduct impulses all over the body Neuroglia- special cells that protect, support, and insulate the more delicate neurons
Motor Neuron
Multipolar neuron/ Motor neuron Glial Cells Dendrite Axon Hillock Nucleolus Cell body Axon Nucleus
Connective Tissue Usually have a rich blood supply Composed of many cell types Great deal of non-cellular, nonliving material between cells (Matrix) Jelly Fibers Interstial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, & proteoglycans Dependent on combo is can be liquid, semisolid, gel-like or very hard Collagen fibers: very strong and flexible but not elastic Elastic fibers- can be stretched but return to their original shape Reticular fibers- fine collagen fibers, not strong but fill spaces
Connective Tissues (CT)- all derived from mesenchyme CT proper Areolar CT Dense CT Regular Irregular Adipose Reticular Cartilage Hyaline Cartilage Fibrocartilage Elastic cartilage Bone Blood
Loose (Areolar) Connective tissue Reticular Fiber Collagen Fiber Nucleus Elastic fiber
Loose connective tissue Adipose Tissue Reticular tissue Adipocyte Cell membrane Reticular fiber Nucleus Cell of organ being supported by the fibers
Dense connective tissue Nucleus Collagen Fiber Collagen Fiber Nucleus Dense Regular CT Dense Irregular CT
