Study Notes
Muscle Tissue
- Muscle tissue is highly cellular and well vascularized.
- Contains specialized contractile units for movement.
Epithelial Tissue
- Disorders in simple columnar epithelium may lead to issues in nutrient absorption and mucus secretion.
- Ciliated simple columnar epithelium helps move fertilized eggs in the uterine tubes.
- Simple squamous epithelium forms air sac walls in lungs for gas exchange.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells lines most of the respiratory tract and secretes mucus.
Connective Tissue
- Bone (osseous tissue) comprises lacunae, calcium salts, and blood vessels.
- Adipose tissue serves primarily for nutrient storage and is the exception in connective tissue characterized by a living cell population.
- Fibroblasts are the primary blast cells in connective tissue proper.
- Connective tissue features a large amount of extracellular matrix composed of fibers and ground substance.
Tissue Repair
- Inflammation results in dilated and permeable capillaries.
- The first step in tissue repair is inflammation.
- Regeneration and fibrosis are later steps post-inflammation, excluding formation of new stem cells.
Cartilage and Supportive Structures
- Chondroblasts within cartilage divide and secrete new matrix.
- Smooth muscle in the uterus is essential for labor contractions.
- Elastic cartilage maintains the shape of the external ear.
Glandular Epithelium
- Endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, secrete hormones directly into the blood.
- Exocrine glands can be classified as compound tubuloalveolar, similar to salivary glands.
- The Golgi apparatus is crucial for goblet cells and other glandular epithelia in secretion processes.
Other Tissue Characteristics
- Edema occurs when areolar tissue absorbs excess fluid.
- Stratified epithelia are vital where abrasion protection is needed.
- The endothelium is crucial for preventing blood clots along arteries and veins.
- Dense microvilli modifications of simple columnar epithelium enhance absorption capabilities in the digestive tract.
Structural Support and Strength
- Collagen fibers provide high tensile strength, essential for structures like intervertebral discs.
- Reticular fibers form a supportive network but are not as prominent in maintaining shape compared to collagen fibers.
Miscellaneous
- Chondrocytes are mature cartilage cells found in lacunae and do not include in areolar connective tissue.
- Mesenchymal cells are predominantly found in embryonic connective tissue, playing a role in the formation of various tissue types.
