Study Notes
Animal Physiology (OAB 106)
- Course offered by Heliopolis University's Faculty of Organic Agriculture
- Fall 2024/2025 semester
- Laboratory 1
Animal Tissues
- Presented by Prof. Dr. Islam Omara
- Professor, Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University
- Professor (Medical Statistics), Faculty of Physical Therapy, Heliopolis University
- Professor, Faculty of Organic Agriculture, Heliopolis University
Tissues in the Living Organism
- Life begins as a single cell (zygote) after fertilization
- This cell differentiates into various tissues
- Tissues consist of a group of cells with similar functions
- A group of tissues with similar functions forms an organ
- A group of organs forms an organ system
- A group of organ systems forms an organism
Level of Structural Organization
- Chemical level (atoms, molecules)
- Cellular level (cells)
- Tissue level (tissues)
- Organ level (organs)
- System level (organ systems)
- Organism level (the whole organism)
Types of Animal Tissues
- Epithelial tissue
- Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
Epithelial Tissues
- Made up of epithelial cells
- Cells can be arranged in a single layer or multiple layers, depending on function and location in the body
- Forms the covering of all internal and external surfaces of the animal body
- Functions: protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration
Connective Tissues
- Made up of connective cells
- Functions: bind structures together, support organs, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, help repair tissue damage
- Types: loose connective tissue (cushions, defense), adipose tissue (insulation, energy storage), dense connective tissue (reduce friction between muscles)
Muscle Tissues
- Made up of muscle cells (muscle fibers)
- Responsible for movement of body parts
- Types: skeletal (striated, voluntary), cardiac (striated, branched, involuntary), smooth (non-striated, involuntary)
Nervous Tissues
- Specialized for transmitting messages within the body
- Components: brain, spinal cord, nerves
- Cells: neurons
- Neurons receive stimuli, conduct impulses to different body parts, and transmit those impulses to other neurons.
- Neurons have three main parts: dendrites, trigger zone, axon
- Neuron types: Bipolar, Unipolar, Multipolar
