Study Notes
Animal Tissues and Organ Systems
- Animal tissues are specialized cells performing common functions.
- Key animal tissues include epithelial, nervous, muscle, and connective tissue.
- Epithelial tissue acts as a barrier, protects underlying tissue, secretes hormones/enzymes, absorbs nutrients, and excretes waste.
- Epithelial tissues are diverse, showing different structures like simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, and pseudostratified columnar.
- Connective tissues fill spaces, attach other tissues, protect/cushion organs, and provide support.
- Loose connective tissue is flexible, web-like, composed of cells in a protein matrix.
- Dense connective tissues are characterized by densely packed fibers (collagen), providing strength and resistance to stress.
- Adipose tissue stores energy, insulates the body, and cushions organs.
- Blood is a connective tissue, with red blood cells carrying oxygen, white blood cells fighting infections, and platelets contributing to blood clotting.
- Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue, providing support and cushioning for joints. It is composed of chondrocytes embedded in a collagen matrix.
- Bone is a rigid connective tissue, providing structural support, protecting vital organs, and serving as a calcium reservoir. It's composed of osteocytes within a collagen matrix.
- Muscle tissue includes skeletal muscles (voluntary movement), smooth muscles (involuntary movement in organs), and cardiac muscle (only in the heart, responsible for rhythmic contractions).
- Skeletal muscles are long, cylindrical, with striations, enabling voluntary movements.
- Smooth muscles are spindle-shaped without striations.
- Nervous tissue is specialized for transmitting nerve impulses and coordinating bodily functions. It consists of neurons (transmit impulses) and neuroglia (support and protect neurons).
- The nervous system controls body functions like movement, thought, and sensation, using electrical impulses throughout the body. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
- The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord, governing all bodily functions.
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises nerves carrying signals throughout the body.
- The skeletal system provides support and protection for vital organs, and allows for movement and stability in the body. It includes bones, cartilage, and ligaments
- The circulatory system delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and removes carbon dioxide and waste products vital for bodily functions. This system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Blood carries vital elements around the body and its regulation is essential for well-being.
- The muscular system enables movement, provides stability, and regulates body temperature through muscle contractions.
- The urinary system filters waste products and excess water to form urine, storing it in the bladder, and eliminating it via the urethra.
- The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, air filtration, warming and humidification of air, and produces voice and sense of smell.
- The digestive system processes food, breaking it down for absorption of nutrients, and eliminating waste.
- The endocrine system is involved in controlling various bodily functions through hormones released by different glands. These chemical messengers play a crucial role in growth, metabolism and reproduction.
- The reproductive system allows for reproduction in animals and the continuation of a species. It differs structurally in males and females.
- The integumentary system includes skin, hair, and nails, acting as a barrier, regulating temperature, and having sensory perception.
