Important Information *

1. Terminology
Tissues – group of cells that carry out specialized activities
Histo = Tissue
…ology = study of
Pathologists – Study cells and tissue; diseased
Patho = disease *

2. Four Main Types Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous
Body surfaces, hollow organs, glands
Connective
Binds organs together, energy reserves for fat
Muscle
Movement and force application
Nervous
Stimulates action potential to activate body functions *

3. Protection, Filtration, Secretion, Absorption, and Excretion
1. Epithelial Tissue
Functions:
Protection, Filtration, Secretion, Absorption, and Excretion
Divisions:
1.Covering and Lining
2.Glandular Epithelium *

4. Tissue Arrangements Layer Arrangement Simple Stratified
Pseudostratified
Single Layer
Two or More layers
One layer of mixed cells
Osmosis, Diffusion,
Absorption, Secretion
Protect underlying tissues
In areas of wear and tear
Mucus Secretion
And Movement *

5. Cell Shapes Cell Shapes Squamous Cuboidal Columnar Transitional Flat
Thick Cubed
Tall, Cylindrical
Varies *

6. *

7. A. Simple Squamous
Function: Filtration, diffusion, osmosis, and secretion in serous membranes
Location: Kidneys Glomeruli (water, glucose, and wastes), Air Sac (Alveoli) of Lungs (Gas Exchange), Heart and Blood Vessels (Nutrients & Medicine) *

8. B. Simple Cuboidal Function: Secretion and Absorption
Location: Kidney Tubules (Wastes), Ovary Surface (Ova) *

9. C1. Ciliated Simple Columnar
Function: Moves fluids and particles along passageways
Location: Found in respiratory tract (mucosal Movement), fallopian tubes (Ova movement), sinuses (Pathogen removal→ Runny Nose)
Cilia *

10. C2. Non-Ciliated Columnar
Function: Microvilli secretion and Absorption
Location: GI tract lining (Absorption of nutrients and water) & Gallbladder (Secretion of Bile) *

11. *

12. 2. Complex Cell Arrangements: Stratified Epithelium*

13. A. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Functions: Mucus movement by cilia action
Location: Found in upper respiratory tract and urethra, and gonads of males (Sperm maturation) *

14. B. Stratified Squamous
Functions: Protection of superficial layers of skin; vagina, mouth, esophagus, tongue
Location:
Keratinized = Superficial Layers of Skin
Non-Keratinized = Wet Surfaces (Mouth, Vagina, Tongue) *

15. C. Stratified Cuboidal
Functions: Protection and limited secretion of sweat glands
Location: Sudoriferous Glands (SWEAT) *

16. D. Transitional Epithelium
Function: Accommodate Distension in the urinary tract and vaginal walls as fluid pressures vary.
Stretched = Squamous
Relaxed = Cuboidal  
Location: Lining of the ureters, urethra, and bladder *

17. Binds organs together, energy reserves for fat
3. Connective Tissue
Binds organs together, energy reserves for fat *

19. Provides for support, Movement, Marrow (blood-forming)
Bone Tissue
Calcium
Haversian Canal
Compact vs. Spongy
Provides for support, Movement, Marrow (blood-forming) *

20. Cartilage

22. Hyaline Cartilage Extremely strong, but very flexible and elastic
Chondrocyte
Ground Substance
Lacuna
Extremely strong, but very flexible and elastic
Smooth surface for reduction of friction
Movement of Joints, Flexibility
Support (Trachea), Ossification of bones *

23. Fibrocartilage Extremely tough Acts as a shock absorber
Ex: ball and socket joints,
intervertebral disc, meniscus *

24. Elastic Cartilage Abundance of elastin for stretching capability
Nose, Ears, epiglottis, larynx

25. Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue

26. Dense, Closely packed collagen fibers that provide high tensile strength
Strong attachment for Tendons (Muscle to Bone), Ligaments (Bone to Bone) *

27. Loose Connective Tissue

28. Areolar Connective Tissue
Fibroblasts
Elastin
Collagen
Provides strength, elasticity, and support to subcutaneous layer and papilary regions of skin
Consists of Collagen, Elastic, Reticular fibers *

29. Adipose
Nucleus
Fat Storage
Blood Vessel
Insulation
Energy Reserves *

30. Adipose Fat (White):
Used for insulation, energy reserve, fat storage

31. Adipose Fat (Brown):
Generates body heat in newborns that do not shiver
After infants grow up, most of the mitochondria (gives the brown color) disappears, becomes similar to white fat.
Recent Research=brown fat is related not to white fat, but to skeletal muscle

32. Loose Conn. Tissue Reticular Cartilage
Reticular – Form covering of many internal organs (Stroma)

33. Blood Clotting (platelets) Immunity (WBC’s) Nutrient delivery
Oxygen Transport
Clotting (platelets)
Immunity (WBC’s)
Nutrient delivery *

34. 3. Muscle Tissue
Movement and force application *

35. Cardiac Muscle Composes the heart wall
Functions in pumping blood to all parts of the body
Intercalated discs contain Gap Junctions (Communication) & Desmosomes (Anchor) *

36. Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Attached to bones by tendons
Functions in body movements, posture, thermogenesis
Only Muscle tissue controlled voluntarily *

37. Smooth Muscle Tissue
Forms walls of many internal organs ie: Stomach, GI tract, Uterus, Anus
Functions in motion of internal organs *

38. 4. Nervous Tissue

39. Axon Dendrite Nucleus Consists of Neuron and Neuroglia
Neuron – Processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals (Sensory, Motor, Interneuron)
Dendrites – Reacts to stimuli
Axons – Conductor of impulse
