Study Notes
Cells and Tissues (Histology)
- Cells have a wide variety of shapes and sizes depending on their function. Different shapes are listed in the text.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a common function.
- Histology is the study of tissues.
Goals
- Describe the structure and function of cellular organelles associated with the endomembrane system (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes).
- Describe the structure and function of mitochondria and peroxisomes.
- Explain the relationship between organelle populations and cell functions.
Animal Cell Diagram
- This diagram is a generalized representation; most cells do not look exactly like this diagram.
- The diagram labels key components such as nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, plasma membrane, and ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosome.
Cell Organelles
- Cytosol: Space-filling plasma with nutrients and wastes.
- Nucleus: Contains DNA and protects it from reverse engineering.
- Nucleolus: Creates RNA, especially for ribosomes.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough and Smooth): Manufacturing proteins (rough) or lipids (smooth) and storing materials (especially Ca++).
- Golgi Apparatus: Sort, modify, and package molecules for transport (vesicles).
- Ribosomes: Translates RNA into proteins by linking amino acids.
- Lysosome: A vesicle with enzymes for breaking down molecules.
- Mitochondria: Creating energy in the form of ATP via Krebs Cycle (requires O2).
- Cytoskeleton: Protein fibers structure, move organelles and provide extracellular movement.
- Peroxisome: Vesicles with peroxidases and other enzymes to break poisons.
Nervous Tissue
- Function: regulate and control body function via electrical impulses.
- Neurons: specialized nerve cells.
- Neuroglia: supporting cells, which may insulate, protect, or guard. Key parts of a neuron include dendrites, soma, and axon.
Muscle Tissue
- Elongated, vascularized cells which contract. Different types of muscle tissue include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscles are voluntarily controlled, whereas cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary.
Epithelial Tissue
- Two main subtypes: covering/lining and glandular.
- Epithelial tissue often lines a lumen (inner space of a tubular structure).
- Key functions include protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, and reception.
- Characteristics include polarity (apical and basal surfaces), specialized contacts, avascularity, innervation, high regeneration rate, often found in sheets.
- Some epithelial cells use tight junctions, desmosomes or gap junctions to connect cells. Tight junctions are waterproof and prevent molecules passing between cells. Desmosomes provide strong attachments; gap junctions allow quick electrical impulses to travel between cells.
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue, unlike epithelium, is never exposed to the outside environment. It has more diverse functions and properties.
- Four main groups: connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood.
- Functions of connective tissue include storage (minerals and fuel), protection, insulation, transport, binding, and support.
- Different kinds/types of fibers (collagen, elastic, reticular) are found with in the connective tissue extracellular matrix.
- The fibers play a key role in resisting tension and providing support.
Cartilage
- Cartilage contains chondroblasts and chondrocytes for producing the extracellular matrix.
- The chondrocytes are found in small pits in the matrix called lacunae.
- Different types include hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage.
Hyaline Cartilage
- Contains densely packed collagen fibers and ground substance.
- Functions: smooth surface, flexibility, and support.
- Example: respiratory tract, connecting ribs to sternum, and covering the ends of bones.
Elastic Cartilage
- Made of densely packed elastic fibers.
- Function: withstand repeated bending while maintaining its original shape.
- Example: external ear, epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage
- Tightly packed thick collagen fibers, fewer cells.
- Function: resist compression.
- Example: spinal discs, between bones of pelvis and knee.
Osseous Tissue (Bone)
- More collagen than cartilage
- Contains calcium salts
- Vascularized; bone contains concentric circular layers called lamellae.
- Function: support, structure, and movement.
- Example: Skeleton.
Fluid Connective Tissues (Blood)
- Contains blood cells, platelets, and soluble proteins.
- Functions: transport of nutrients, blood gases, hormones, and defense from disease.
Glandular Epithelium
- Endocrine glands = ductless; secretions travel through lymph or blood.
- Exocrine glands = having ducts; secretions are released outside the body or into organs.
