    Study Notes

    Tissue Types Overview

    • Tissues are categorized into groups of similar cells that perform specific functions.
    • The four primary tissue types are epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle tissue.

    Epithelial Tissue

    • Acts as the lining, covering, and glandular tissue throughout the body.
    • Covers both external and internal surfaces.
    • Functions include:
      • Protection: Serves as the first line of defense in immunity.
      • Absorption: Facilitates nutrient uptake in the stomach and small intestine.
      • Filtration: Involved in kidney filtration processes.
      • Secretion: Glandular epithelia secrete substances like sweat, oil, enzymes, and mucus.

    Hallmarks of Epithelial Tissue

    • Special Contacts: Epithelial cells form continuous sheets, except in glandular epithelium.
    • Polarity: Each epithelial membrane has an apical (free) surface exposed to outside or internal cavities, which may have microvilli or cilia.
    • Support: Epithelial cells rest on a basement membrane anchored by connective tissue.
    • Avascular but Innervated: Epithelia lack direct blood supply, yet they contain nerve endings.
    • Regeneration: Epithelial tissues regenerate quickly when nourished.

    Classification of Epithelial Tissue

    • By Cell Arrangement:
      • Simple Epithelium: One cell layer.
      • Stratified Epithelium: Multiple cell layers.
    • Glandular Epithelium: Comprises cells that produce and secrete substances, derived from blood materials.

    Types of Glands

    • Endocrine Glands: Ductless; hormones diffuse directly into blood (e.g., thyroid, pituitary).
    • Exocrine Glands: Contain ducts; secrete substances to the epithelial surface (e.g., sweat glands, pancreas).

    Connective Tissue

    • Most abundant and diverse tissue type in the body.
    • Primarily connects, supports, and binds other tissues.
    • Hallmarks include:
      • Common Origin: All connective tissues originate from mesenchyme.
      • Blood Supply Variation: Generally well-vascularized, with exceptions like tendons (poor supply) and cartilage (avascular).
      • Extracellular Matrix: Composed of living cells and non-living substances that provide support.

    Types of Connective Tissue

    • Dense Connective Tissue: Includes dense irregular connective tissue found in fasciae, dermis, and joint capsules; arranged to withstand multi-directional tension.
    • Loose Connective Tissue: Softer with more cells and fewer fibers. Types include:
      • Areolar Tissue: Most widely distributed, cushions organs and retains tissue fluid.
      • Adipose Tissue: Specialized for fat storage, insulation, and protection.
      • Reticular Tissue: Forms internal frameworks of organs and supports blood cell formation.

    Blood

    • Classified as a connective tissue due to its composition of blood cells in a fluid matrix (plasma).
    • Functions in transportation throughout the body, handling nutrients, waste, and gases.

    Muscle Tissue

    • Specialized for contraction to generate movement.
    • Types include:
      • Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary control, striated, multinucleated.
      • Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary control, striated, with intercalated discs, unique to the heart.
      • Smooth Muscle: Involuntary, non-striated, found in hollow organs; facilitates peristalsis for food movement.

    Nervous Tissue

    • Composed of neurons and neuroglia.
    • Neurons: Responsible for transmitting electrochemical impulses; have long processes to transmit signals over distance.
    • Neuroglia: Support cells that protect and insulate neurons within the nervous system.
