    Study Notes

    Basic Tissues

    • Basic tissues are groups of cells with similar structures that work together to perform specific functions.
    • There are four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

    Epithelial Tissue

    • Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands.
    • Characteristics include cellularity (lots of cells, no space between), rapid regeneration, avascularity (lacks blood vessels), and polarity (apical and basal sides).
    • Function includes protection, absorption, sensory reception, ion transport, secretion, filtration, and formation of slippery surfaces for movement.
    • Classification is based on cell shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and layer thickness (simple, stratified, pseudostratified).
    • Different types include simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional epithelium. Each type has specific locations and functions.

    Connective Tissue Proper

    • Connective tissues originate from mesenchymal cells.
    • Function is providing structural support to the body's organs.
    • Composition: cells, protein fibers (collagen, elastic, reticular), and ground substance.
    • Cells include mesenchymal cells (stem cells), fibroblasts/fibrocytes (produce fibers and ground substance), macrophages, leukocytes/WBCs, plasma cells (produce antibodies), mast cells (release histamine), fat cells/adipocytes (energy storage), and pigment cells/chromatophores (skin pigmentation).
    • Fibrous proteins include collagen fibers (tensile strength, flexibility), elastic fibers (stretching and recoiling), and reticular fibers (forming supportive frameworks in soft tissues like lymphatic tissues).

    Muscle Tissue

    • Muscle tissue is responsible for movement.
    • Three types:
      • Skeletal muscle: striated, voluntary, often attached to bones.
      • Smooth muscle: non-striated, involuntary, typically found in internal organs.
      • Cardiac muscle: striated, involuntary, found in the heart.

    Nervous Tissue

    • Nervous tissue is composed of glial cells and neurons (nerve cells).
    • Glial cells provide support; neurons receive, transmit, and integrate information.
    • Four main glial cell types: microglia, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and astrocytes.

    Glandular Epithelium

    • Glandular epithelium is specialized for producing and secreting substances.

    • Two main types: exocrine and endocrine, distinguished by whether secretions are released into ducts or directly into the bloodstream.

    • Exocrine glands release secretions onto body surfaces (e.g., skin).

    • Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream.

    • Secretion classifications are based on the mechanism by which secretory products are released, these include merocrine, apocrine and holocrine.

    • Secretion classifications are based also on the shape of the terminal ends of secretory units: tubular, acinar/alveolar.

    • Classification is also based on the arrangement: simple, branched or compound.
