Classification of Tissues
Chapter 6 Classification of Tissues
2
Tissues and tissue types
Tissues are: Group of cells similar in structure an function Tissues are organized into organs Histology = study of tissues The four tissue types are: Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous
3
Functions of epithelium
Physical protection Secretion Sensory perception Absorption Filtration Excretion
4
Epithelial tissue Includes glands and epithelium Glands are secretory
Avascular Polarity Regeneration Cellularity Supported by connective tissue Attached to a basement membrane
5
Basement Membrane Amorphous substance. Divided in 2 layers:
Lamina lucida (basal) Secreted by the epithelium Lamina densa (reticular) Secreted by the connective tissue
7
Specializations of epithelium
Ciliated Microvilli Stereocilia Flagella
8
Classification of epithelia
Number of cell layers Simple Stratified Shape of apical surface cells Squamous Cuboidal Columnar
11
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS WITH KERATIN

22
Glandular epithelia Epithelium that secrete substances Exocrine glands
Secrete through ducts onto the surface of the gland Endocrine glands Release hormones into surrounding fluid. Ductless glands.

Connective Tissues
26
Connective tissue functions and classification:
Protects Supports Bind tissues together Classification: Embryonic Mesenchime Loose connective tissue, mucous Adult
27
A Classification of Adult Connective Tissues
28
Connective tissues characteristics
No free surface Vascular Scanty in tendons Except cartilage Supports the body Maintain body form
29
Components of the connective tissue
1)Extracellular matrix Ground substance Amorphous Binds cells to fibers Colorless Homogeneous Liquid, semisolid, gel-like, or hard
30
Matrix Fibers Collagen (white) Most abundant
Brings flexibility and strength to the tissue Thicker one Elastic (yellow) Brings elasticity to the tissues Can stretch and recoil
31
Fibers Reticular Thinnest one
Found in smooth muscle and framework of the organs Brings flexibility to organs that need changes in volume
32
RETICULAR TISSUE
33
DENSE IRREGULAR WITH COLLAGEN, ELASTIC AND RETICULAR FIBERS
34
Components of the connective tissue
2) Cells Fibroblast most abundant Synthesis of fibers and ground substance Macrophage Phagocytic capacity
35
Components of the connective tissue
Adipocytes Closely packed Signet ring cell Nucleus eccentric and flat Mesenchymal cells Mast cells Releases histamin Responsible for allergic reactions Lymphocytes, etc
36
The Cells and Fibers of Connective Tissue Proper
37
Connective tissue proper
Classified as loose or dense Loose Areolar tissue Adipose tissue Reticular tissue Rich blood supply
38
Connective tissue proper
Dense Dense regular Dense irregular Elastic Poor blood supply

50
Bone, or osseous tissue Has osteocytes and osteoblasts Lacuna
Little ground substance Dense mineralized matrix Richly Vascularized

53
Supporting connective tissues: Cartilage
Cells called chondrocytes or chondroblasts Cells found in lacunae Firm matrix Avascular Three types: hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage

FIBROCARTILAGE
60
Fluid connective tissues
Blood Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets Plasma is the fluid matrix
61
Formed Elements of the Blood
63
Muscle tissue Specialized for contraction Three types Skeletal Cardiac
Smooth
64
Skeletal muscle Cells are multinucleate, long, cylindrical
Presence of striation Voluntary muscle
65
Muscle Tissue - Skeletal
66
SQUELETAL MUSCLE
67
Cardiac muscle Cells: Long, 1 or 2 nucleus Branching cells
Intercalated discs Presence of striation Involuntary muscle
68
Muscle Tissue - Cardiac
69
CARDIAC MUSCLE
70
Smooth muscle tissue Cells Fusiform One central nucleus Non-striated
Involuntary muscle Forms the wall of hollow organs
71
Muscle Tissue - Smooth
72
SMOOTH MUSCLE Use spaghetti for longitudinal x transverse cut.
73
Nervous Tissue
74
Neural tissue cells Neurons Transmits impulses No intercellular matrix
Neuroglia Support, protects and insulates the nervous tissue Greater number
75
Neural tissue location
Brain Spinal cord Nerves
76
NEURONS AND NEUROGLIAS
