Tissue Types
3
Human Tissues Tissue differentiation
5
Tissues: groups of cells closely associated that have a similar structure and perform a related function Four types of tissue – Muscle = movement – Epithelial = covering – Connective = support – Nervous = control Most organs contain all 4 types
6
Muscle Tissue Cells have the ability to contract Locomotion 3 types of muscle tissue Cardiac –heart Skeletal – attached to bones Smooth – internal organs and blood vessels
7
MUSCLE TISSUE SKELETAL/Striated Voluntary movement Long and cylindrical Transverse striation Each fiber is multi-nuclear
8
Skeletal Muscle
9
MUSCLE TISSUE SMOOTH Involuntary movement Long, spindle shape Single nucleus Internal organs
10
Smooth Muscle
11
MUSCLE TISSUE CARDIAC Striations Involuntary One nucleus Deep center Heart muscle

13
Epithelial Tissue
14
Sheets of cells which lines a body cavity or covers a body surface. Functions ▫Protection ▫Absorption ▫Filtration ▫Excretion ▫Secretion ▫Sensory reception
15
Classification Tissue given two names ▫A. First name tells you the number of cell layers. Simple made up of a single cell layer often used in filtration or absorption occur. Stratified – made of 2 or more stacked layers Often found where friction occurs
16
Classification ▫The second name tells you the cell shape. Squamous – flat and scale like Cuboidal – boxlike(as wide as they are tall) Columnar - tall column shaped (nucleus is elongated)
17
Human Anatomy, Larry M. Frolich, Ph.D. EPITHELIAL TISSUES Composed almost entirely of cells. Contains no blood vessels but supported by nerve fibers. Connective tissue support
18
Nutrients from capillaries in underlying connective tissue Easily regenerates E.g. skin, lining of gut, mucous membranes
19
Simple Squamous Epithelia
20
Simple Cuboidal Epithelia
21
Simple Columnar Epithelia
22
Stratified Squamous Epithelia
23
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelia
24
Connective Tissue
25
Characteristics Most abundant tissue in the body. Cells are further apart than epithelial cells. Extracellular matrix between them. ▫The body’s glue ▫Composed of protein fibers and ground substance.
26
Cells imbedded in fibers Fibroblast- most common fixed cell. ▫Star shaped and produce fibrous protein. Macrophages Start as white blood cells – phagocytosis – fight infection. Mast cells Near blood vessels. Release heparin – prevent blood clotting Release histamine – promotes inflammation
27
Fibers Collagenous – collagen protein– great strength ▫ ligaments - bones to bones ▫ tendons – muscle to bones Elastic fibers – elastin protein weaker but more elastic. Vocal cords, air passages Reticular fibers – collagenous fibers- delicate networks.
28
Functions Support Protection Frameworks Fill spaces Store fat Produce blood cells Protect against infections
29
Connective Tissue 6 Types Loose connective tissue Dense connective tissue Adipose Blood Cartilage Bone

Cartilage
39
Cartilage types Hyaline - Hyaline cartilage is cartilage that is hyaline (transparent). It is found on many joint surfaces. It is pearly bluish in color with firm consistency and has a considerable amount of collagen. It contains no nerves or blood vessels, and its structure is relatively simple.cartilagehyalinenerves Elastic - Elastic cartilage or yellow cartilage is a type of cartilage present in the outer ear, Eustachian tube and epiglottis. It contains elastic fiber networks and collagen fibers. The principal protein is elastin.cartilageouter earEustachian tubeepiglottiselastin
40
Fibrocartilage - consists of a mixture of white fibrous tissue and cartilaginous tissue ▫Fibrocartilage is found in the pubic symphysis, the anulus fibrosus of intervertebral discs, menisci and the TMJpubic symphysisanulus fibrosusintervertebral discsmenisciTMJ
