Study Notes
Tissue Classifications and Characteristics
- Epithelial tissue classification is based on the number of cell layers and the shape of cells at the apical surface.
- Bone is categorized as a type of connective tissue.
- Connective tissue is characterized by an extensive extracellular matrix (ECM).
Muscle Tissue Types
- Striated muscle tissues include cardiac and skeletal muscles.
Polarity in Tissues
- Epithelial tissue exhibits polarity, possessing both apical and basal surfaces.
Unique Properties of Bone
- Bone is a unique connective tissue that is vascular, meaning it has a good blood supply.
Types of Connective Tissue
- Dense connective tissue can be categorized into:
- Dense irregular connective tissue: fibers oriented in multiple directions.
- Dense regular connective tissue: thick fibers oriented in one direction.
- Loose connective tissue types include:
- Areolar tissue: long, thin dark fibers.
- Reticular tissue: short, dark fibers.
- Adipose tissue: large "empty" cells.
Supportive Connective Tissues
- Supportive connective tissues consist of bone and cartilage.
Epithelial Tissue Subtypes
- Subtypes of epithelial tissue include simple squamous, pseudostratified columnar, stratified squamous, and simple columnar.
Muscle Tissue Subtypes
- Muscle tissue types comprise skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Nervous Tissue Composition
- Nervous tissue consists of neurons and glial cells, monitoring internal and external environments and initiating body responses.
Functions of Muscle and Connective Tissues
- Muscle tissue is responsible for movement of the skeleton and other tissues.
- Connective tissue is diverse, abundant, and distributed widely throughout the body.
Role of Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue forms the surface layer of the body, lines cavities, and constitutes majority of glandular tissue.
