Study Notes
Connective Tissues
- Bone is the most rigid connective tissue.
- Cardiac and smooth muscles are controlled involuntarily.
- Neurons consist of dendrites, cell body, and axon.
- Cutaneous membrane is the skin that covers the body.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the appearance, location, and functions of human body tissues.
- Explain the process of inflammation and tissue changes associated with aging.
Epithelial Tissues
Stratified Epithelia
- Composed of multiple layers of cells, with basal layer cells acting as stem cells.
- Tissue classification is based on the shape of the apical layer cells.
Simple Epithelia
- Simple Squamous: Flat single layer; found in air sacs of lungs, lining of heart and blood vessels. Facilitates diffusion and filtration.
- Simple Cuboidal: Lines kidney tubules; functions in secretion and absorption.
- Simple Columnar: Found in digestive and reproductive tracts; involved in secretion and absorption.
- Pseudostratified Columnar: Lines trachea and respiratory tract; secretes and moves mucus.
Stratified Epithelia
- Stratified Squamous: Lines esophagus, mouth, vagina; protects against abrasion.
- Stratified Cuboidal: Located in sweat and salivary glands; functions in secretion and protection.
- Stratified Columnar: Found in male urethra; serves in secretion and protection.
Connective Tissue Types
- Loose Connective Tissue: Includes areolar, reticular, and adipose tissues; provides support and energy storage.
- Supportive Connective Tissue: Comprises hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage, and bone.
- Fluid Connective Tissue: Encompasses blood and lymph.
Neurons
- Make up the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
- Neurons generate action potentials; consist of dendrites (receive signals), cell body (houses the nucleus), and axon (sends signals).
- Synapses are the gaps between neurons and target cells.
Muscle Tissue Functions
- Muscle tissue facilitates body movement and thermoregulation through shivering.
- Provides protection for internal organs and participates in blood circulation by contracting heart muscles.
